Ambiguous Use of The Term ESB in Commerce
There is no commonly accepted definition of the term ESB. Most modern providers of Message-oriented middleware have adopted the ESB concept as de facto standard for SOA. Today's implementations of ESB use event-driven and standards-based Message-oriented middleware in combination with message queues as technology frameworks. Unfortunately confusion is occasionally caused by software manufacturers who relabel their existing middleware and communication solutions as ESB without adopting the crucial spirit of a bus concept.

Famous quotes containing the words ambiguous, term and/or commerce:
“The whole of natural theology ... resolves itself into one simple, though somewhat ambiguous proposition, That the cause or causes of order in the universe probably bear some remote analogy to human intelligence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request—it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the presidential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts are not a hundred thousand politicians at the South, but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture than they are in humanity, and are not prepared to do justice to the slave and to Mexico, cost what it may. I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, near at home, coöperate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
