"emergent semantics" ... bzzzzzz! ;) IMO this is a "counter-proposal" in marketing only. The techniques they discuss are already applied in data-mining. Perfectly valid, but not "counter": this is just the age-old dichotomy between "descriptive" vs. "prescriptive" paradigms -- they are complementary, and have overlapping use-cases. We all know that SW technology is beginning to be applied to B2B use-cases, in which it will be strongly prescriptive (parties better darn well know what they mean by "invoice"! ;) ... however, descriptive techniques can help arrive at an optimal prescriptive B2B standard by analyzing how B2B data are used in practice. Etc. My 2 cents. :) Steve
