Re: Showing the Semantic Web - Could Tabulator publish?...

Hi Daniel --

I have also played a bit with Tabulator, and I agree that support for 
*input* from users is desirable.

In this connection, you may be interested in a 'tabular' system that 
supports users who type tables and business rules into a browser, and then 
use the browser to run the rules. The results are presented as tables, 
nested tables, and English explanations.

The system is called Internet Business Logic, it's online at 
reengineeringllc.com , and shared use is free.

I hope this may be of interest.  Thanks in advance for comments.
