From Paul.  Here’s my sentence:

“This comes down to how SOA is defined”.

Thomas Erl, Service-Oriented Architecture: Concepts, Technology, and Design. 2005

This phrase is part of a section which discusses what SOA is (and isn’t).

Rules of this meme:

• Grab the nearest book.
• Open it to page 56.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
• Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Check out “Open Source Approaches in Spatial Data Handling” by Hall, Leahy et. al. (disclosure: I did chapter 1).  An interesting read covering many facets and tools of open source geospatial.
