IMO, REST vs SOA (not SOAP, as others have pointed out) boils down to this question; assuming the data is identical in each case, what's easiest to integrate? Ten services with ten interfaces, or ten services with one interface? O(N) beats O(NlogN) every day of the week, industry concensus notwithstanding. All other points of evaluation - some of which I'll admit are in Web services' favour - are insignificant in comparison. Cheers, Mark.
