When looking at an overall system ecology, we see a lot of applications in it that cover certain areas or regions of functionality. To a certain extent, those applications are interchangeable. What I'd like to do is to index some Web apps and open-source apps (see
osalt.com for an example of this at a coarser grain than I mean) and reverse-engineer their specifications in some way that facilitates comparison.
Then, when putting together a specification list for a given business process (say), you could choose which elements to plug together, and identify places where interoperability projects might pay off.
I'm still not 100% clear where I'm going with this, but it deserves further thought.
