I guess it depends on how you define 'The Web'. I wouldn't consider inter-enterprise communications to be "on the Web" or to be "web applications" but I'm sure that there are definitions of the Web that would take them into account. -- PITHY WORDS OF WISDOM To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most. ________________________________ From: Bill de hÓra [mailto:bill.dehora@p...] Sent: Sat 4/23/2005 1:16 PM To: XML Developers List Subject: Re: Something altogether different?

It is telling that XQuery is now primarily being driven by relational database vendors and WS-* is basically taking on the use cases of DCOM/CORBA/etc for the Enterprise. These may all be the right solutions on the intranet or within the firewall (maybe) but they are too complex for the worse-is-better world that is the Web. If such a clean convenient split existed between enterprise systems and the Web, we wouldn't need to have this conversation. Aside from the usual inter-enterprise scenarios, content management and workflow systems come to mind as having a lot of gray to them in terms of deployment and data format choices. cheers Bill ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
