SOA Link, an initiative to boost interoperability of SOA governance products, was launched Monday by Infravio and several other vendors.

The effort is intended to enable publishing of services and associated policy to Infravio’s X-Registry in a standardized way and enable the receiving of alerts when changes happen, Infravio said. X-Registry is a UDDI-compatible registry.

SOA Link does not, however, mandate a single API but is a public statement by partners pledging interoperability. Customers buying SOA Link solutions are assured these products will work together.

Other participants in SOA Link include AmberPoint, Composite Software, Forum Systems, Intalio, Iona, JBoss, Layer 7 Technologies, LogicBlaze, NetIQ, ParaSoft, Reactivity, SOA Software, SymphonySoft, and webMethods. WSO2, which had been included on an initial list of participants, was not on a later, more current list.
