Misleading title. This is actually about the end of a consortium which produced an inefficient set of standards for Web services, and called their standards "Web Services".
- kbutler 16y agoSounds like you only read the under-headline summary. The article goes on to predict that the end of the consortium indicates the WS-I standards are unlikely to be enhanced going forward, basically stating that REST has won. kb

- y0ghur7_xxx 16y agoWS-I tried to make the WebService stack of different vendors interoperable, and actually helped a lot in making distributed systems less of a pain to implement. REST is the new trendy kid on the block, but still has a lot of work to do to replace the WS-* standards. There is a great presentation by Sanjiva Weerawarana on REST vs SOAP (or REST vs SOA architectures)[1], and a lot of points he makes are still not addressed by REST.
