Saturday, 3 December 11

OPPORTUNITYOne entrepreneur identifies a great business opportunity

PARTNER IDENTIFICATIONWho can help me deliver the work?

PARTNER SELECTIONWho do I select to implement the different parts?

AGREEMENTCan we agree to be partners and make a bid for the tender?

COLLABORATIONHow do we share information between the partners?

PARTNERSHIP FORMATIONHow do we go from identifying the business opportunity to delivering the work

Opportunity Partner Identification Partner Selection Agreement Collaboration

West Midlands Collaborative Common Marketplace

PARTNERSHIP FORMATIONHow do we help the parters to share more information between them?

Collaboration

SUPPLY CHAIN EXAMPLEWe can assemble the baby carriages, but where do we get the parts?

Assembler

SUPPLY CHAIN EXAMPLEWhere do our suppliers get their materials?

Assembler

Textiles Company

Iron Works Company

SUPPLY CHAIN EXAMPLEAnd finally where do the raw materials come from?

SUPPLY CHAIN EXAMPLEHow can we share information across the whole supply chain?

Going on the enterprise service bus architecture, trying to standardise the way

in which companies communicate via “blueprints”

Going with the assumption that in a regional context we can configure a cloud

with the applications that most companies need to use

ANY SILVER BULLET ALTERNATIVE ?

• Cheap, non-proprietary;

• Fast to implement;

•Distributed - no single point of failure;

• Re-use of already systems and data;

HOW DO PEOPLE COMMUNICATEThey don’t need rules to govern their communication

HOW TO MACHINES COMMUNICATEMachines rely heavily on pre-approved rules to govern their communication

MACHINES NEED A CONTRACT TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY

Is there a way to overcome this limitation?

HATEOAS THE CONFUSING BIT OF REST

SO MACHINES CAN TALK WITHOUT RULES

But how do we make them talk the same language?

DATA SHARING AND SECURITY This can’t be done in a decentralised way, can it?

WHAT ABOUT KEYS?Humans already have quite a good method of dealing with distributed security

ANY SILVER BULLET ALTERNATIVE ?

Cheap, non-proprietary

Fast to implement

Distributed - no single point of failure

Re-use of already systems and data

REST Architecture using the WWW

No need to agree on rules, just ontology

No single point of failure, 1-to-1 integration

Ontology reconciliation
