The more I read about SOA related topics, the more buzz words and acronyms I encounter. I therefore decided to try to list these and to share them here.
Disclaim: Due to their plethoric number, all acronyms won’t necessarily be covered by this list or one meaning could have been missed. I will be more then pleased to add anybody's participation if I receive a correction/addition with the source(s) where it can be found.
