I've found a few good references for what SOA is.  Anyone else find anything?

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/soa/ - According to Microsoft:  The goal for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a world-wide mesh of collaborating services that are published and available for invocation on a Service Bus. Adopting SOA is essential to delivering the business agility and IT flexibility promised by Web Services. These benefits are delivered not just by viewing service architecture from a technology perspective or by adopting Web Service protocols, but also by requiring the creation of a Service Oriented Environment that is based on specific key principles.
