The four types of oplets in the wiki page are not specific oplet kinds (or class names), maybe "categories" would have been a better term to use. So Filter and Map oplets are "processing" oplets, they process incoming streams and produce outgoing streams. If anyone has a better term than "processing" please share, other options are "the ones in the middle" :-) or maybe "analytic". Dan.
