Hmm, in my observation, the only way that we (the human race) have successfully built "webs" of software components like you describe, is by giving each component the same interface. New ways of doing this may well be invented in the future (A.I perhaps), I don't know. But IDLs like WSDL have never been successful at this task, while the common interface approach has been (e.g. HTTP and SMTP). MB -- Mark Baker.
