Charles Young hits the nail on the head in his comments over on Jean-Jacques’ blog.

They are split up over a host of comment blocks, but I could not agree with him more.

“Oslo” is a platform for building and interacting with models (fancy term for data, metadata, and metametadata).

There are a host of applications of this technology.

Writing cloud applications is one.

Writing REST Services is one. 

Writing a Web application hosted in IIS is another. 

Writing down an application architecture independent of the implementation is another.

In fact, the use of this approach is not limited to design, build and managing software systems and applications.

The thing I am really excite about is what sort of things are going to emerge from third-party developers and users when these capabilities are broadly available as part of the platform.
