And the fact of trading (that these components are created and 
shared by some network of traders "dynamically assembled by 
one system and shipped to another where the assembly is 
dynamically understood") infers that some common maps already 
exist, aka, the upper level enterprise/market ontology.

Intentionality is the impetus of ontology.

No matter how simple the intent is, it will shape the 
understanding.   It is a centrality and may be a transient 
or permanent attractor that creates meaning.

>I assume that this question has as its impetus ...

Here's my motivation for the question: in a large, complex Enterprise you
may know the kinds of "things" that need to be moved around (e.g., Book,
BookCover, etc) but you don't have a-priori knowledge of the specific
transactions that will be needed.  

So, is it feasible to simply declare a bunch of components (that everyone
understands), which may be dynamically assembled by one system and shipped
to another system where the assembly is dynamically understood.
