I came across some great stuff- RedMonk quoted in a news story hosted by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iraqilinux.org\">Iraqi Linux user group,<\/a> for one. Nice website folks.<\/p>\n<p>But the explosive moment for me came when i discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rulesphere.com\/\">RuleSphere<\/a> had taken our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/public\/COA_final.pdf\">Compliance Oriented Architecture<\/a> model and run with it. We had some light contact with the firm recently, but no consulting, or otherwise, dollars changed hands. <\/p>\n<p>The company decided to map its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rulesphere.com\/aemcs.htm\">AEM Compliance Suite<\/a> to our emerging COA model. And more importantly to extend the model. So check out RulesSphere&#8217;s own extended set of COA services&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rulesphere.com\/faq.html#9\">here<\/a>. A good example of the kind of thinking is to say that XBRL is not an optional extra schema to handle, but is in fact a core compliance service. This is an interesting idea and one that i pointed to in this recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/jgovernor\/archives\/000427.html\">blog<\/a>. What i like about XBRL is the potential for enforced transparency. That is, it addresses not just architecture of compliance, but more importantly <i>culture <\/i>of compliance. Culture is the only real driver for sustainable ethics&#8211;the rest is just ticklists. important ticklists you can go to jail for not filling, but ticklists nonetheles.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking forward to the dialogue with RuleSphere and other firms. It might seem odd to celebrate a fork in the model so early, but the whole point about using a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/\">Creative Commons<\/a> license was to enable this to happen. We wanted to see derivative works. I am certainly not going to complain now they have arrived. On the contrary i will be raising a glass tonight to a vendor that saw the potential of shared open intellectual property as the basis for a conversation with customers, partners and possibly even other analysts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Cool. In order to make COA more open and useful we are going to start a wiki for it, to track changes and provide an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/MT-2.661\/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=4&amp;search=architecture+of+participation\">Architecture of Participation<\/a>, to start driving more conversations and semantics into the model. We had been holding off in order to find the &#8220;right&#8221; wiki platform. But that is the wrong approach. Best to get on with it. So watch this space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was ego surfing this morning, checking out the new MSN search function.
