more on "web services"

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@mmiec.com>]

Following up on the announcement from Bind Systems to 
ebxml-dev  --  interesting on its own merits, as it deals with allegedly 
BPSS-collaboration-compliant J2EE software --  I ran into these two mildly 
interesting articles about web services and XML/ebXML.   Purely FYI.

Favorite quote from the latter --

>Components to Web services: the buzzword shift
>       One thing about the grand term component is that its most clear 
> usage is as a generic qualifier for one vendor to use in proclaiming its 
> product as superior to the competition. Beyond that, it has never been 
> clear what the term means. XML DevCon saw an emergence of a successor 
> term in this regard: Web services. At the conference, everything was a 
> Web service, and everyone was a Web services specialist.
