[snip] Given that our goals are quite large, I should mention that Storm has been in use in our project for approx. 1 1/2 years now, though we are only now starting to use RDF (it's not even in the articles yet), so it's not just a 'cute idea' project. The overall Fenfire project is not as far along as Storm, but can build on three years of experience with a similar project, Gzz <http://www.gzz.info>, that built on Ted Nelson's zzstructure <http://www.xanadu.net/zigzag/>. We had to discontinue this project because there is a US patent on this technology which interfered with our Free Software philosophy (all our current code is LGPLed). We think that RDF suits our needs quite well, though. BTW: Another supporting technology we're building, is a focus+context RDF browser and editor, Fenfire Loom. We have a 0.1, browser only version ready to release and I hope to package it up and send an announcement on the weekend. Cheers, - Benja
