Will the real SOA please stand up?

A reader (no doubt frustrated by all the SOA hype) observes that Dictionary.com produces many definitions for the acronym "SOA." I personally prefer "State of Anarchy" (which didn't surface), but there's plenty more to chose from. "Shortness of Air" is also an interesting take. (By the way, Dictionary.com also missed "Start of Authority" record.)
For purposes of this blog, we define SOA, or Service-Oriented Architecture, as an intelligent network of reusable Web services-enabled applications invoked in support of business processes. An SOA could be two or more Web services, loosely coupled but acting in concert, providing a purchase order flow between a customer and a supplier. Eventually, we'll see multi-service SOAs encompassing processes that stretch across the enterprise.
For a good in-depth explanation of SOA, I recommend this more detailed overview from Clive Finkelstein.
