Just finished reading the early access version of the book "Web Service Contract Design and Versioning for SOA". Recommended book, well written!As its title suggests, the primary focus is contract design. Less attention is paid to versioning. But the book goes into extensive detail wrt. XML Schema design, WSDL creation and use of related specs such as WS-Addressing and WS-Policy. Also the differences between different versions of e.g. SOAP and WSDL are well addressed.
This book really fills a gap: SOA books often remain at a too high level, standard WS development books dive directly into code and XML Schema books are unrelated to WS-*.
Every serious WS/BPEL/SOA developer or designer needs to have a good understanding of these base technologies, in particular XML schema. One of the better WS books since "Web Services Platform Architecture SOAP, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-BPEL, WS-Reliable Messaging, and More".
Note: after reading such book, one must confess that WS-* is quite messy and more cleanup is needed; WS-I will need to write more or lengthier profiles!
