2005-01-27A mesh of agreements, I am, I amOngoing • Stronger Foundations. Tim Bray is pleased to note some recent W3C and IETF activity around the architected web and that great mystery creation, the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). It is nice seasoning for the discussion of "identity" and how we situate something in cyberspace. Tim has this great phrasing:"The Internet and the Web aren’t things and they’re not places, they’re a mesh of agreements ... ."It is in this regard that these instruments of coordinated activity (including communication) show us a lot about who we are around language and action. I can't say it any better than just leaving Tim's words standing alone. Well, I will point at the word "agreement" and suggest the harmony with "contract" and suggest that perhaps "interface contract" is not apparent in the interface itself, always always arising by other means.
