OBA resources

OBA is one buzz word that is catching the market very much. Fundamentally, OBA is one of the ways to build task centric, role based applications using the end-user assets currently used in the IT infrastructure within an Org. So there have been tons and tons of these reference materials available over MSDN and other locations. I am just listing some of them over this post.

5 Reference Architecture Packs or RAPs which are a combination of both vertical and horizontal industry scenarios.
