HI, Scanning the thread on Parallax I see some terms reoccurring: Outgoing Connections. Lenses. Lists. Facets. Free text search. IFP to IRI resolution. Find documents that contain IRIs etc... They are all implemented in different ways but tend to share semantics across different browsers and services. How far are we from defining a modular framework so we can mix and math these as atomic interaction pieces? Both services and probably UI parts. Of course, RDF and HTTP can be used to describe them and deliver the descriptions and, in the case of widgets, some OOTB implementations. XForms, Dojo widgets, SWFs? I have done something similar but much simpler in a Flex platform ( I serve Flex modules, described in RDF and referenced by Fresnel vocabs, but only for presentation ). And then on a functional side I have several services that do different things, and I can hot swap them. For example, the free text search service is a (S)WS. Faceter service idem. I guess we still need to see some more diversity to derive a taxonomy and start working on the framework. But it is nice to keep this in sight. The recurring topics. Best, A
