Seems like this is perceived as some kind of gold rush and everyone's getting out there to stake his/her claim... -----Original Message----- From: www-ws-arch-request@w3.org [mailto:www-ws-arch-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Champion, Mike Sent: vendredi, 3. octobre 2003 04:14 To: www-ws-arch@w3.org Several members of this list were on a panel discussion at Web Services Edge today about WS standards, led by Anne Manes. She used this article http://www.cio.com/archive/100103/standards.html as discussion fodder, and others may find it interesting. "Everyone wants Web services standards. CEOs think the technology will create new opportunities. CFOs believe it will save millions. Vendors see a pot of gold at the end of the Web services rainbow. And CIOs know that linking to customers and partners over the Internet will revolutionize both business and IT. So what's the holdup? The usual suspects: Politics. Ego. Suspicion. Fear. Greed. " Who, us? :-) But seriously, while I disagree with much of it, we clearly do have to consider it as a datapoint about the public perception of what we (collectively, not just WSA WG or W3C) do. Paul Krill of InfoWorld was in the audience; it will be interesting to see if he writes anything about the panelists' collective rebuttal.
