Hi, that's correct. > If I understand well, the > concept is invented by Simon Williams from Lazy Software > http://www.lazysoftware.com. Correct, too. IIRC it was Petr who mentioned this some time ago. I read the whitepaper but not more. My idea will use some more ideas and combine them into one framework. What else do I want to use: 1. Name / Value pair idea for record-layout. Much the idea of LDAP not columns in a database. Using templates for business-objects that can be exteneded etc. 2. Using the nakedobject idea for functions that can be applied to the data-objects, relations. I haven't solved all problems yet but up to now it seems to work fine. > These products provide mainly two functions: > Data persistence and a development tool exploiting the concept. Right. I have done the data-persistence with Rebol too (at the moment) but I'm currently checking to implement a DLL that handles the assocciative datamodel. With this is would be possible to handle thousands of nodes and links. > I don't yet understand very well what Robert is trying to > do, but if he is trying to implement the AMD concept with > Rebol,so this is the killer Framework ;-)).

( So far, I got the same > experience with your framework than Scott and Petr).. No problem, I just followed the open-source rule: release early, release often. So I hope that the basic "how-to's" are ramping up and that most of you make it to have a first look at it. Further version will become more stable, convinient etc. Robert -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
