Eric: I’m cool with enterprises looking to the W3C for guidance on the issues they face. But I think the guidance should be to stop using SOAP/WS-*. One way for the W3C to go about this is to recognize that WS-* is just the latest incarnation of a technology that has so far never been able to span even the enterprise. And that the technology necessary to span the enterprise should be largely similar to the technology that spans the globe.

From the workshop page:

The aim of this Workshop is to gather interested parties to discuss and provide recommendations to W3C regarding the best approaches to facilitate the processing of business transactions and interactions with systems that pre-date the Web, and address the need to interconnect intranet and/or extranet services using Web technologies.

How is that not integration?

Pete -

The answer is very simple, it’s because the W3C membership has expressed sufficient interest in the topic to justify a workshop.

It may well turn out that the results of the workshop will not lead to any follow up action by the W3C, but sufficient interest was expressed to dig into the topic further.

Also a minor correction: the workshop is not about enterprise integration.

Thanks again for your participation.

Eric
