Space-based computing and semantics : a web service purist's point of view

We review the concept of space-based computing and its combination with semantics into triple-space computing. Comparing this concept with existing technology we conclude that applying triple-spaces to Web service technology does not result into something fundamentally new to the architecture of Web services: we argue that this is an application of the concepts of binding and discovery which in contrast are fundamental aspects of the architecture of Web services.
