Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are increasingly being used by a number of groups throughout UCAR for integration between systems using web services like SOAP and REST. This talk will provide a brief overview and demo of several examples of SOA solutions in use at UCAR to give engineers a sense of the growing number of options available to them to access institution-wide data and services. It will also highlight areas ripe for further application of SOA approaches.
Examples will include but not be limited to the following. Owners of additional UCAR web services are encouraged to contact the presenter so that they can be represented in the overview as well.
NCAR Library Publications Database
DLESE Digital Discovery System
WEG Auth REST API
WEG People DB and People REST API
F&A IT iVantage SOAP service
