Kendall writes that "it's interesting to think about CPAN or an Apache module repository smoking DAML-S crack". This appears to be a reference to the drug 'crack' cocaine. Having no personal experience of the drug, I am at something of a loss to make the connection with DAML-S. Can someone help?
Hmm, okay, so it's not the most felicitious metaphor, and probably inappropriate. All I meant to say was that one might think about CPAN (or the Python stdlib or a Squeak image or...) as a collection of things ("modules") which provide services, and about which it would be terribly useful to have semantic descriptions.
In other words, if CPAN modules had DAML-S descriptions, that might lead to strange, unexpected, and good things.
