Beyond the technology, IT strategies for implementation of Web services by Doug Kaye.

The Digital ID Federation Myth Erick Herring wrote back in January, "The Digital ID federation concept sounds attractive, but doesn't include the customers, whose voice and stake in the game are like American Indians in post-Civil War America. Just because the federation issues get ironed out doesn't mean they'll do us any good." This has been my gripe with The Liberty Alliance (and others) since publishing my original essay last October. (See also Reactions to On Liberty and Compartmentalization.) The Liberty specifications look pretty good from a technical perspective. But I take issue that the organization and its members are pitching this as a benefit to consumers. That's pure spin, and I wish they'd admit it. Outside the corporate firewall (i.e., when used for public web sites) the primary beneficiaries of federated identity are the merchants, *not* the consumers. Indeed, I assert that for consumers, the risks outweigh the benefits. The technology is great, but let's tell it like it is.

Web Services Reference Collection. IBM's developerWorks website has published a "reference collection" of 100 articles that cover a full range of web services topics, including: what web services are, why use web services, case studies, web service design, messaging/SOAP, WSDL (Web Services Description Language), UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration), SRP (Service Registry Proxy), security, reliability, transactions, user intefaces, and more.
