Kevin,
That's an interesting technology but to quote the front page on XWT: its
"most useful" for
Highly mobile users:
Thin client environments:
Software-as-a-service:
These are not the only modes of interest here. In particular these are all
about the application being on the server. Isn't Haystack about the users
information being close to them on their client (or local server).
Knowledge workers have lots of information that hold as their own locally
and are not supported by standard applications delivered from a server. See
also
http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2002/HPL-2002-328.html
SIMILE seems to be a repository of information, and associated services
around that information, that can be used by clients from smart to thin. A
SIMILE host is not an Application Service Provider although it might be part
of one.
