NPR radio ran a satire last night on the evolution of web sites that do B2B. I almost lost control of the car in the cloverleaf because I was laughing so hard. They nailed it precisely. Cluelessness was a prime theme. But let's not blow the services-approah off. That actually works although it may not be as important to people whose primary experience is web-surfing. For organizations that need logistical support for large systems, this kind of technology is ideal because they have already defined processes in detail. It is a good basis for requirements because it is NOT a metaphor. The Semantic Web simply tells me that there is something to be done involving meaning and leaves the usual suspects to figure that out. I don't want to wait for that. Before people get too far on this, it would be useful to review XLang and understand how the macro-level transactions can be designed with the nesting of the micro transactions. There is a lot to learn and understand. It isn't automatic, but once set up, it is highly automated. It absolutely depends on a solid reliable framework and in fact, is dangerous without it. I should have said, I want the pizza service to get me a pizza, not have the pizza oven looking up mozarella to determine it is a type of cheese. The oven might want the cheese bringer to know that.
