Dear Manuel, just some comments from my point of view... #1# computers will never talk to each other by random, ie. without human control. I think sb of us have already forgotten, that real life is not of bits and bytes, and that we cannot digitize a human life or body. There is a real gap between people believing that machines are the next step in evolution (Moravec, Kurzweil, ...) and more-like realists as Joseph Weizenbaum for example. Communication is always HUMAN-2-HUMAN and that there is no isolated MACHINE-2-MACHINE communication: http://www.langegger.at/papers/IIWAS06-InvitedTalk.pdf (slides 21ff) So the "Semantics" in the Semantic Web finally helps "humans" to implement more intelligent software on the Web. That's it, that's cool. #2# I think interoperability today is exactly there, where sb pays for its realization, ie. where there is a market (you mentioned payment services). Standardization is not easy and becomes more difficult with an increasing number of stakeholders - e.g. there are only a few credit card companies compared to blog implementations with a comment feature. #3# Your idea of - you call it "Object Oriented Web" - in my eyes is exactly what is expected from the Semantic Web, although it could be seen as an additional layer on top if it, describing "objects" which may have a "global state" and can be changed anywhere. I think this will become true in some areas, where sb. "pays" for its realization (money or spending "time") and where there is a small enough set of stakeholders strong enough to get people adopt and use it... what I mean is, idealistic visions are good, but perhaps I'm more a realistic person also taking into accout social and economic aspects.
