Rick's post arrived here after I had posted my MACK "tangent"
yesterday (It's now at
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2008-03/msg00009.html),
but had I seen it earlier I would certainly have commended Cory
in my post. (03)
Cory, your coupling of the "human in the loop" with trust in
reasoning systems most usefully emphasizes an absolutely key
aspect of the product legitimation/refutation process I had
referred to. (04)
Then, Rick, your reference to Mitre's WMSL (Web Mashup Scripting
Language) is also serendipitous, as the 3rd instalment of my
"MACK basics" series (to be posted soon) has already built up to
the MACK style of mashup with its own special exploitation of
semantics, all enduser-friendly and certainly trust-enhancing.
(Cory, you may even remember that "Profound Congeniality"
anticipated by my pages on Jeff Sutherland's website from 11 and
12 years ago?! It's most relevant here too as the ultimate in
user-friendliness.) (05)
Far from requiring a scripting language, there will be strong
AOS-discovered prompting towards mashup-like stimulators of
human creativity, and all is of course ontology- or Form-based.
The word "mashup" is even rather redundant, as most normal
AOS-driven projections or views will tend to work that way
anyway. (06)
The likes of WSDL or UDDI will all be cut out of the loop as
their functionality flows directly from how 'potential mashup'
components are brought into context by basic Forms in the
Democratic Web market environment which my previous post raised
again. Since reuse is the issue, MACK's "Beyond OO" reusability
design obviously applies. The result will typically be
immediately relevant to the user's declared and implicit needs,
systemically, with the synergy that should result from happy
juxtapositions. (I have warned about all the clichés that
remain so applicable!) (07)
Sorry about all those further promises still without the
technical details, but I just couldn't resist penning that
second curtain-raiser to my scheduled 3rd instalment. That
instalment will give more detailed indications of just how the
above functionality - and much more! - will flow from some very
plain epistemology ... and invite us all to Ride The Mainstream
in a very radical way, even though you must wonder about the
paradox if not contradiction in that very notion. (08)
