• New doc explains more details of PakNet implementation

  This new doc explains the PakNet information mentioned in the abstract in more detail. It is hosted on Token_Word with the title "The PakNet :: Revisited", and notes some details of implementation that were not in place when the abstract was written.

• Update

  Some documentation is available at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=34057&group_id=172078 . Also, the new site is up: http://paknet.twilightparadox.com . We have the XML schema for PXMF done (though we're still waiting on the DTD), and our CGI script has backend code that will post and retrieve documents. We have a neat logo (as you can see on the site) and a UI mockup (as you can also see on the site), and a working version of the UI (for development purposes -- we're using it as a sort of IDE for PakNet internal code) is in progress (should be done pretty soon). We will probably post it on the site, even though it will be mostly a demo and will not in fact connect to an actual PakNet server. It may at least be of use to those of you who want to try out the PakNet development interface to see what it's like, or maybe to actually develop with it. It will come with full documentation on how to use it, and will support Python, Tcl, and Lua code, as well as text and possibly images, storing all data in a PXMF file. Thanks for the support, ~The PakNet team

• Welcome

  Hey, welcome to the PakNet project on SourceForge. This is a new project, and a rather strange one, so I'll do my best to explain in short order what this is -- I will upload a more detailed description soon though, and you should read that too if you get a chance. PakNet is an attempt at a Xanalogical structure for the web. In other words, it is a way of storing and manipulating hyperlinked documents, like the world wide web, except closer to the Xanadu project ( http://xanadu.com ) in its goals and structure. More specificially, it supports links that go both back and forward, transclusions (links that embed sections into the original document without copying), versioning, the immutability of versions, links to sections of versions, and the idea that link code should be outside of and separate from the document itself, instead of embedded in the middle. To do this, we are working on a number of subprojects: - xtp and xtps: a transparent layer atop HTTP and HTTPS (respectively) that does ONLY pak-type transactions (i.e., no files or folders -- only requests). Can be emulated easily by pointing certain ports on a domain directly to the paknet CGI scripts, though we will code and provide server daemons for those who don't want to deal with this. - paknet CGI scripts: a set of CGI programs that serve and post to and from the PakNet DB (an SQL-type database containing all versions of all documents). The request style will be standardized, and it will serve data in the PXMF format. - PXMF (Portable Xanalogical Modeling Format): the working title for an XML-based structure for representing a PakNet document set. - MemergE: a browser backend for the PakNet. Browser frontends will be available on the PakNet itself. There's a lot more to this than I can say in a short article. I wouldn't like to date myself, but I belive, if properly implemented, this idea (including some of our extensions to it) could be groundbreakingly important -- especially in the sense that it could reinvent the Web (into the first true form of "Web2.0") in the same way that the Web reinvented the Internet, and the Internet reinvented computing. I hope you all will come and visit again, because a lot of work is being done, and we should have something up pretty soon. Thanks, ~John Ohno Lead Developer/The PakNet Project
