To me this is the right direction for further discussions.  I feel that web is already developing
towards the next phase for unifying databases,
collaborative applications and supply-chains. We 
already deal with a whole lot of semantics in 
databases and applications.  Web can evolve 
meaningfully to deal with seamantics by involving
RDF, XHTML, XSLT .. to address such issues.

To be SW or Not to be SW -- doesn't matter much.
