While I was messing around in Scott Leslie's site (see below) I ran across this presentation he delivered in May but posted today (it's probably in the aggregator too but I have a thousand or so links to read). This presentation is well worth a review - the timeline of content management systems is itself worth looking at. But after looking at some models, he describes several service oriented initiatives - Carnegie Mellon, JISC, IMS, OKI - and the distributed model advocated here and elsewhere recently. Many great diagrams (which I'll steal for tomorrow) and some provokative questions, including the one I'm always asked: "Is it possible to achieve “enterprise quality service†without imposing or assuming a well-defined, hierarchical structure?"
