Michael,

Did you generate this graphic?
What is the source?

You can’t build a real-life functioning ecosystem piecemeal: piecemeal standards, piecemeal standards development organizations (SDO) (how many are involved today? W3C, DIF, LF, IETF, Web 7.0, …), piecemeal private implementations, etc.

That was an opportunity missed. Hence, I formed the Web 7.0 Foundation to act as the SDO for Web 7.0 (yes, anyone can create an SDO).  Related, as I’ve commented elsewhere, CCG/W3C has no overarching mission/Northstar to provide any overall, useful direction/guidance to for integration across its WGs. The result: piecemealers creating piecemeal pieces.

They define Message Types (DID + semantics) and provide a LOBE (Loadable Object Brain Extension) (aka PowerShell module) that implements the Task logic for the message type within the context of a particular Capability. LOBEs can be scripted (PowerShell) or coded in any .NET language.

The name for one of these solutions is: a Neuroplex.  You don’t build agents. You don’t build apps. You didn’t build services. You don’t build applications. To start a Neuroplex, you simply send an appropriate message type into the network/graph and watch the magic happen.
