SOA Affinity Group Overview • How are we going to get there? • Creation of inter-disciplinary teams • Combine the knowledge of business and technical needs which relate to use of a common infrastructure • Identify application requirements • Directly address the business requirements and research needs • No infrastructure for infrastructure’s sake! • Inter-institutional development effort • No one institution has all the answers, but parts of a bigger puzzle • Distributed infrastructure must be inherent in any common collaborative platform
