No offence but I prefer not to top-post. Specially considering this thread is moving a bit OT.

I'm not familliar with what Mikael is involved in but I can tell that at least the major integration project IFK2 is "heavily inspired" by the REST philosophy. The project adresses the possibility to integrate care documentation applications (i.e. the journal) with quality-metrics systems. (In Sweden there are several national wide registers dedicated to QA for certain care processes) For several reasons we developed a model where we separate the semantics of the content from the model of the communication. Essentially we want an interaction model that is dependent on the operations in the register rather than the semantics of the domain objects. Access is going to be governed via a SAML-ticket architecture against a large user and service directory and services are accessed through a MULE based service bus. The registers develop and publish changes to their data requests on a regular basis. Hence it is nessecary to decouple the services provided by the registers from the data requested by the service. For other reasons, we use a normal SOA architecture but, essentially there are only operations defined for normal CRUD actions. One might have the right to read but not write, create but not modify, et.c. The semantics of the content is then packed to an (unpractically large) CLOB wich is marshalled and validated on the end node. This way, templates can be updated w/o the need to redefine the services. Project is being delivered for evaluation but there are some tecnical conclusions being written for intended publication by the end of the year. Very REST, but a bit Off Topic in the dicussion on how I am to professionally motivate my employer to purchase me an iPad... ;-) Regards Tomas /.../
