Developing Web Services Choreography Standards – The Case of REST vs. SOAP
June 14, 2004
Jean-Jacques Dubray, whom I can’t link to correctly because I can’t find the URI for the relevant blog entry in his newsfeed, points to this excellent paper by zur Muehlen, Nickerson and Swenson about BPM standards, REST, and SOAP — truly fascinating not because of its technical merits (although it has those as well), but because of the analysis of how standards get created.

Hi Stefan,
I’m glad you found the paper and thank you very much for the positive comments - they are much appreciated. You may be interested to know that we published a second paper at a workshop last year that deals with the issue of standardization in a more general sense. A journal version of this paper is currently under review. The original workshop paper can be downloaded here: http://www.workflow-research.de/Publications/JENI.MIZU-ICIS-WS(2003).pdf
Best regards
Michael

Hi Stefan,
Glad you found the paper, and thanks for the nice comments. You may be interested to know that Jeff and I wrote a second paper on the issue of web services standardization, which focuses more on the game theoretic moves of standards players. A revised version of this paper is currently under revision by an academic journal, but a workshop version of the paper can be downloaded at http://www.workflow-research.de/Publications/PDF/JENI.MIZU-ICIS-WS(2003).pdf
Best regards
Michael
