Tim Bray posted a nice piece on web services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), specifically focusing on some very interesting work being done in Ireland:
Reach is an agency of the Irish government concerned generally with government services to people and organizations, and specifically with E-Government. They are building reachservices, a large piece of E-Government portal and integration infrastructure.
Bray also points to Reach's online documentation. I've skimmed over a few docs, and it looks like it's worth further invesitgations.
Update: Microsoft's Pat Helland describes SOA in a short video.
