Tight vs. Loose Coupling. In searching for discussions of the relationship between AOP (Aspect-Oriented Programming) and SOAP envelope processing (so far nothing), I ran across a good chart comparing tight and loose coupling. It raised a number of aspects that I have not yet focused on, e.g., references, ontology, and schema. Much food for thought in my thinking on designing for change. For example, what is the relationship between interoperability and adaptability?
