Re: [opennms-discuss] OpenNMS Demonstrates SOA Management in the UK

I just checked again and googling for "sidonis statewise" now gives a 
single hit to their site. Isn't there a name for one hit google searches?

I also spent some time reading about NGOSS, OSS/J, and OpenOSS. OSS/J is 
a collection of java interfaces that are in various states of 
standardization though the JSR process. These API's represent a java 
implementation of NGOSS, I gather. For a list of the API's vs JSR's, see
http://www.ossj.org/downloads/api.shtml

OpenOSS is an open source implementation of these interfaces. I haven't 
seen yet what technology OpenOSS uses for integration (JMS? SOAP? 
Carrier Pigeons per RFC 1149?).

I gather this new set of buzzwords comes to us from the telco industry. 
This alone makes me worry it's bloated and overengineered, but I'll 
withhold judgement, since I have no hands on experience.
