In the course of this book we have illustrated how to enable Semantic Web Services by means of Semantically Enabled Service-oriented Architectures (SESAs). Currently there is little or no demand for dynamic or scalable Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). Not only are the few SOAs in production relatively small, and thus do not yet pose scalability problems, but also current technologies are inadequate for service discovery, negotiation, adaptation, and composition. In the real (nonautomated) world, business transactions are governed by legal, regulatory, financial, tax, and other agreements or obligations. Partners who wish to automate business transactions do so after defining the terms by which automated actions must correspond to the relevant governance. At the same time, these partners establish terms of recourse or remuneration in the case of failures. Such agreements, referenced above as nonfunctional requirements, are a long way from being dynamically discovered, selected, and enacted.
