[Pipet Devel] Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration

[COFFMAN Steven]

Jarl, I didn't speak up, because I'm still not clear what you mean.

You're concerned that there is no standard schema for the XML of the input
and output of individual applications (or components)? What does that have
to do with software engineering design patterns? Design patterns are more
abstract than data formats.

a
comment for Jarl?

Cheers.
