Excellent article - really enjoyed the introduction to layers and patterns that this gives.

When you add this to the OASIS BCM work on use of layers and templates and patterns then you see how empowering all this is.

We're still feeling our way here - but my sense is that both BCM and this article are shining the light in the right direction for the future of systems development and business solution deployment.

Tools like ebXML BPSS then provide the implementation layer pattern faciltiation for orchestrating this, along with EPR and EUD work for the front-office layers, with tools like XDS providing the core information sharing, identity and privacy management.

Enjoy, DW
