Summary
As we reach the end of our exploration into the intricate world of data services, it is instructive to reflect on our journey with the understanding that an elegant solution is essential for these services. This comes from the need to preserve trust in the data service’s promised capabilities and to service the data’s semantics via data services that do not frustrate those semantics. The result is that the technology implementation will not be easy, but it will be a large effort to deliver an elegant, simple solution for complex data. If you make your data service elegant, your data consumers will know it. They will tell then you that you have been successful in your efforts.
The right solution emerges under conditions of significant complexity and challenge, much like the formation of diamonds under the immense pressures and high temperatures deep within the Earth. This metaphor extends beyond a mere comparison of the results; it encompasses the process, the...
