What are the advantages of triplespace computing against related approaches?
The closest similar technology is enterprise service buses (ESBs [5]), which are based on a set of publicly accepted definitions, providing comfortable integration environments that allow “integration eco-systems” of interacting applications and services to be established on top of them. The TripCom core mechanism is embodied by the Triple Space API (TS-API). A data space ontology built on this API would allow for the establishment of similar integration eco-systems. With such an ontology, the differences in the approach between Triple Spaces and ESB would be: (a) All interacting Triple Space partners are autonomous and the space is always passive. This should result in better resiliency against failures, simpler work load management, and a more robust deployment model. (b) A data space paradigm provides a more intuitive approach to security: the boundary of the space is the security boundary. ESB’s – like all infrastructures that expose a communication paradigm – rely on the managemen
