The difference in these points of view is:
o Semantic web - the web is a vast library of
flat resources for which I need an intelligent
librarian to find and make associations then
tell me if what I mean is what it means
o Services web - the web is vast machine which
provides products that can be procured by
contacting the provider and exchanging information
If a semantic web is just fixing URNs in the place of
FPIs and System IDs to locate a schema, fine. Nothing
new here, but yes, that is what one does as part of
the creation of a service. Once you have documents
to exchange (
1. Discovery of service.
2. Agree to terms of service.
3. Contract with service
4. Receive products.
You don't have to agree to the document's meaning a priori,
you need sufficient information to determine they are the
kind you want, then negotiate terms by which the process
closes or remediates
Much easier than debating the meaning of meaning.
Semantic web simply comes down to, it is meaningful
to me. IOW, does the service provider accept
responsibility for ensuring I get the product I
requested in accordance with the terms to which we
agreed and to which we affixed signatory authority.
