Service-Oriented Folksonomic Architecture

A WIP...
Here's some notes detailing the a service-oriented, folksonomic peer-to-peer architecture we have in mind. It will be:

  • Folksonomy rather than ontology, collaborative categorization
  • REST-style web based portal to access services, will allow interaction with service via web browser
  • Lightweight Directory Service & Replicated Peers
  • P2P Architecture, DHT, robustness, availability
  • Service tagging of service implementation using annotations
  • On-demand Distributed Service UIs, dynamism
  • Service implementation language neutrality
  • Service protocol agnostic
  • Transparency, simplicity
  • Oh... open source naturally!
Stay tuned for more on this; including high-level waffly diagrams that only highly paid system architects can appreciate... “Oooooo more boxes!”.

I've been looking at the required components to get this up and running (not too interested in writing the paper(s) yet). I estimate that we've about 50-60% implemented already.
Now naturally I gotta expand on all of these bullet points; docs, links and further text to follow.
