The bet-your-business folks will make sure their vendors sell them the support and see to it that the consultants involved are aware of the fact that business applications are harder to build, and quite a bit more complex than the road better traveled these days. That is how competition works. The smart competitors sell more product. It isn't complexity we have to worry about; it is systems failure because of experiments that get into production. We have the current mess because people believed simple was better when what they were seeing was third generation applications.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Ken North [mailto:ken_north@c...] > XML Schema is an obvious step because it adds type information. It's true the number of XML specs raises the complexity of application development, but many organizations are doing much more with XML than rating web pages. If you're building a mission critical system ("bet-your-business"), you're going to want to exploit constraints and type-checking. You also want to know that answers coming back from queries are correct -- the fundamental motivation for a formal approach using a data model and query algebra.
