One use case I want to cover also is IM messages, I am working on a Telepathy observer that logs chats to Zg. How would I model this via the Zg datamodel? Let's see...
So I observe that john....@example.com sends me the message "Hello Dolly" via MSN. His real name is John Doe, I can this from Telepathy as well. The formal identifier for the sender should be "mailto: john....@example.com" using the standard IANA mailto URI-scheme, I would tend to store this in subject.origin - the alternative would event.actor. It doesn't make much sense to store app://telepathy.desktop or app://empathy.desktop in event.actor because I have no way of knowing which app shows the message to the user - it could indeed be multiple apps... It would be most convenient if I also stored the real name, "John Doe" somehwhere with the event so that apps wouldn't have to talk Telepathy to display real names. I could either prepend it to subject.text or somehow encode it in event.payload (fx. a json map of extra attributes). event.timestamp = int(time.time()*1000) event.interpretation = Interpretation.RECEIVE_EVENT event.manifestation = Manifestation.WORLD_ACTIVITY *** event.actor = ?? event.payload = subject.interpretation = Interpretation.IM_MESSAGE subject.manifestation = ?? subject.origin = "mailto:john....@example.com"; subject.text = "Hello Dolly" subject.mimetype = "text/plain" ***) I tentatively introduced the WORLD_ACTIVITY event manifestation because I think USER_NOTIFICATION would be wrong here Anyway - it's just a very real use case which is relevant to this discussion... -- What value should subject.origin have? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487321 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Developers, which is the registrant for Zeitgeist Framework.
