I wish I could believe that they are building an interoperable suite of tools where they don't insist that OCLC be at the center of the universe. Meaning: if my institution has a SOA substrate in place for enterprise applications, be it Oracle's, IBM's, or Kuali Rice, I want to be able to bridge in the OCLC services where appropriate. What has come out so far is a whole bunch of marketing speak which, as I speculated, is intended to freeze the marketplace.What we're left with, though, is parsing OCLC's words in light of past practices and current events. From that perspective, I think I'm in the cautiously accepting camp as well. At the very least, I'm trying to be mindful of my biases with regards to the Record Use policy debate when I'm reading and thinking about this new information.

I don't think you're missing anything, Jonathan -- the phrase isn't defined in any of the documentation I've seen. For some reason, for me at least, the term has meaning. I think it I may have had some off-the-record conversations with folks at OCLC where I picked up the nuances.To me "web-scale" is a combination of having a system that operates at the extreme ends of internet scale (think: FriendFeed, Twitter, Library Thing, Delicious, etc., and not so much LC's catalog...or anybody's OPAC for that matter) combined with the network effect of user-generated content feedback loops (think again: FriendFeed, Library Thing, etc.). Interestingly, one of the top hits in a Google search on the term is to a January 2007 blog post by Lorcan Dempsey, but there are other uses of the phrase.
