Community Centric Service Methodology Glass Bead Games
"Moving
the research focus from semantics to pragmatics, from representing to using
meaning, is the next step on the way to network applications that help
communities of people realize their full collaborative potential." From (URL)

you did not make explicit that services have to be discovered....
so
even though what you stated is simpler: I would change
"What is IOA?
It really comes down to what you care about. I’m really only starting
to understand a little bit about KM, but what is clear is that without
information, there’s no way you can create knowledge. If you really look
closely at the foundation of SOA, the service, what are its two most important
aspects?
1) how you invoke it, and
2) what it does
This is what you care about. Yes, you need to probably give it some data to work with, and, yes, it will probably spit something out if it works, but that’s not what you’re mainly interested in. You’re really interested in those two aspects."
<end of quote>
to
1) what services are naturally occurring within an ecosystem
2) how does each service typically get invoked
3) what does each service do
I am so pleased with your phrase "Information Oriented Architecture", this is a very good phrase. In the following pages, (prototyping a wiki), we talk about why IOA seems so right, in the second school viewpoint.
