Hi Harald,
I go with you, that it would be great to extend the scope of panckoucke
to 'abstract' data from other technologies than topicmaps. RDF for
example.
And it's comprehensible, from a technical point of view, to make this
next generation panckoucke a project of its own.
I have also strong objections against this, regarding the distraction of
the community, but since panckoucke is the module that has the lowest
attention on the tm4j-mailing lists, we maybe could risk it.
But before we strike this path, we should come to an agreement what
panckoucke is about. There seems to be a major misunderstanding. I
*never* voted to split panckoucke in any way, especially I did not vote
for a separation of the model/abstractor definition on the one hand and
the concrete abstractor implementations on the other (at least I did not
want to vote for something like that. Sorry if something I said, gave
you that impression).
To me, a vital part of panckoucke is the implementations of abstractors
and the helpersas well, that connect engines like tm4j and maybe jena in
the future.
I could imagine very well that panckoucke does not implement the
abstract model on its own. In fact, I searched for a java-graph-api
implementation when starting panckoucke, but did not find one and
therefor implemented it by myself. This is something that I would
definitely like to include as a third-party lib.
But a project that just defines the model and interfaces and leaves the
implementation of real and useful abstractors to others, is not what I
mean, when talking about panckoucke. Maybe it is a project of its own,
and panckoucke could use it?
What do you think?
Bye
