Abstract

Webservices technology is converging, and today we are at least able to define what we mean if we use the term webservice (SOAP, XML, WSDL). Given the maturing technology, it is opportune to get concrete about the future of webservices-based technologies. An area that traditionally has been assumed to become a major beneficiary of webservices technology is that of business-to-business interactions. In this paper we try to get to the core issues we face in creating this emerging ‘business web,’ these dynamic, digital business ecosystems.

Opinions and intuitions expressed in this invited keynote address at CaiSE’s workshop on Web Services, E-Business and the Semantic Web, are the author’s and do not necessarily reflect Hewlett-Packard Company’s position.

Throughout the text we use ▪ to end paragraphs in which we introduce pieces of the business web architecture, see also Fig 1 through 6.
