Talk:Open systems architecture

Blob of text and links
This article is a blob of text that could stand some structuring. The links also don't always elucidate what is being discussed.

The OSI model article is pretty good. I almost think that this article would be better if it was shorter and it pointed more clearly to the OSI model article. Volfy 01:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Does this article have anything that isn't in existing articles? Would there be any loss of information if this was redirected to OSI model? EiE 19:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Open Services Architecture
Isn't this the result of a misspelling of OSA? What is the difference with Open Services Architecture (which is there renamed as Open System Architecture? All this is confusing.

USA MoD/DoD refer to OSA
Reference: Open Systems Architecture Contract Guidebook for Program Managers, Version 1.1, May 2013, URL: https://acc.dau.mil/osaguidebook

"Open Systems Architecture" is not "Open Services Architecture" or "Services Oriented Architecture." The word "Open" as a proper noun has, in telecommunications, come to mean infrastructure integration [AKA: Internet] and information interoperability [AKA: NetCentric, XML, UML ...] for the purpose of providing nexus-generation information services [AI for/of CMS, information management, digital libraries, knowledge management, business process and workflow ...].

To get there IMO the nexus-generation information services (NexGIS) requires "Open" applied to standards, protocols, metadata, data schema ... and "Open" competition business models. IOW: The legacy proprietary business model is not suitable for future technology information, information sharing, collaborative synergistic communities, and information/systems lifecycle logistics and sustainment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.153.24.155 (talk) 22:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Made more generic
In light of my dePROD I've done a little to make the article more specific and stopping its specific tie to telecommunications. I believe this widened scope allows for easier establishment of notability. I've kludged a little restructure to help the article on its way but I'd expect my start to be completely worked over in the course of time. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:09, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
