On April 23rd, 2009, a panel of IBM experts answered your questions on establishing the right level of governance, a critical aspect of any service-oriented architecture (SOA) project. How do you get started? What are the minimum set of definitions that have to exist even for a small effort? And how do you grow from there? This panel of experts has extensively used WebSphere Service Registry and Repository as an enabler for SOA governance. For more information about SOA, see the WebSphere SOA zone.
This online chat is for anyone interested in SOA governance and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository.
