Shared services and components

From Govit

Both within the government and external to the government, efforts are underway to allow agencies to share components as the move toward a Service Oriented Architecture.

• One high-profile effort (that has not yet taken off in a big way) is CORE.gov.

• Another interesting effort is salesforce.com. This organization has created a repository where government agencies, and those who work with government agencies, can share components that are useful for government business. View all industries, including public sector.

• OSOA.org is the Open SOA Collaboration, which represents an informal group of industry leaders that share a common interest: defining a language-neutral programming model that meets the needs of enterprise developers, specifically those who develop software that can use Service Oriented Architecture characteristics and benefits.

• COLAB at USA Services. This is a collaborative work environment

hosted by GSA Intergovernmental Solutions that includes a collaboration wiki and a software repository.
