Service oriented architecture is a very interesting topic these days. The institutional repository of the University of Oslo does only contain 25 doctoral thesis, and nothing is searchable via search engines. Compared with the institutional repositories at Stockholm University in Sweden, the University of Oslo missed perhaps 150 000 downloads of doctoral thesis in 2006. Instead they have to wait till they eventually are published in journals or books, and that takes on average a couple of years. I wonder how many citations these thesis missed?
Instead of building up a working institutional repository the it-appartment are more concerned about other day to day work. Is that a good investment? Dave Girouard in Google has some interesting remarks about this phenomenon:
"Google’s general manager of enterprise business, Dave Girouard, says a “crisis” in IT is preventing organisations from pursuing the type of innovations that allow businesses to grow."
"“Information security, as critical as it is, needs to be taken care of by organisations who live and die by it, who invest the money, time, resources and staff. Why should every company in the world have to build up their own expertise and have to maintain servers and provide security?”"
