Do you work for a public transport company in Europe (or anywhere else in the world for that matter)? The EU wants to hear from you!

As part of a project to create a unified standard for public transport ticketing across Europe, allowing a single ticket to be sold from anywhere to anywhere, we'd like to collect as much information as possible on what transport products currently exists. With enough information, we hope to be able to write a standard that covers every edge case.

If you'd like to help us, you can download our questionnaire here. More information: https://bt4pt.eu

"This year I've been writing about how we're moving from a web of pages to a web of capabilities. To me, that's never meant that the human web we all know and love is going away. Clearly I don't think that, otherwise I wouldn't have started a new tech blog. Rather, the point I've been trying to make is that there's an extra layer of the web emerging — one that is built for our machine helpers."

We've been iterating on that idea for 30 years. From 1996: "I use AltaVista to build BYTE's Metasearch application and realize that every Web site is a software component." (https://web.archive.org/web/19970712042450/http://www.byte.com/art/9611/sec9/art1.htm).

It's an evolving story with respect to who writes components and who uses them, but it's still a story about building and using components.
