TBL on the Semantic Web
I ran across a set of slides by Tim Berners-Lee on what's happening at the Laboratory for Computer Science on the semantic web project. Interesting stuff. Reminded me that I probably need to dig deeper into this. There some interesting parallels between this and thoughts on application layer internetworking. In particular, see the slide on the application integration hub. There is also a interesting research wave front slide that gives a good idea of where interesting open problems are likely to be.

Web Services Interoperability Organization
I've been writing about web service specifications for interoperability. Its probably a good idea to say something about the organization behind this, the WS-I. WS-I includes Microsoft and IBM, two long time proponents of web services standards. Like most such bodies, the issues are more about politics than anything else. A recent ZD Net article stated:
...the WS-I has been better known for various political squabbles than for technical leadership. A high-profile spat between Sun Microsystems and its founding members has generated most of the attention for the group. After initially being shut out by founding companies including IBM, Microsoft and BEA Systems, Sun subsequently joined the organization.
The WS-I is focusing on security at the moment and that will be the focus of their meeting in Salt Lake City in March. If I could figure out a way to get invited, I could blog it. :-)
