Outside of the public eye, I have three students right now working on
OWLifying all aspects of MOBY, and making a clear separation of the
models from the data and service instances.  We are expecting to see
some REALLY interesting behaviours in the context of tools like Ben &
Clarence's Ahab/Ishmael MOBY browsers - DL-reasoned discovery of
unexpected, but applicable, services after DL-reasoned *integration* and
*recombination* of multiple data-types from multiple MOBY service
executions into new data-types.

Fun!!

What's happened now is that the conduit has become so big and interesting 
      that communication has become more than a conduit, 
       it has become a destination in its own right..."
