How do you define SOA governance? Paolo Malinverno: SOA governance is about having the discipline and making sure that the very important decisions go through to appropriate people and that these people have the appropriate input to make those decisions. That is half of the SOA governance problem. The second half is whenever there are decisions that are made, SOA governance needs to make sure that those decisions are actually followed. It's not only about setting a speed limit, it is about enforcing it too and eventually giving people tickets or sending them to jail. That is what SOA governance really is about.
