[Zeusagent-developer] Ontology<-> Db progress

[Jaron C. <jar...@se...>]

Hi folks,

Stage one is done: I've modified the OntologyEditor to import tables 
and columns. And the new information can be saved in a .ont file.
I'll upload the new stuff to Sourceforge soon.

So, next item on the agenda is modification of the ResourceDb so facts
derived from the database can be read and written.

I was thinking of writing the modifications myself, but then Chris sent
me a modified ResourceDb his team had written (cheers Chris). I'm going
to spend the next day or two understanding how it works and how it 
squares with my own mental model, but it looks very promising.

An interesting feature of their approach is that facts do not store 
whether they are persistent or not, the ResourceDb keeps track of 
what's been mapped to a JDBC connection. I feel it's important the data
remains in the DB, with the ResourceDb just holding a pointer to it.
So Chris's team's approach is similiar to my own thinking.

If anyone wants to look at what Chris & co have produced, tell me and 
I'll post the relevant java files.

Jaron
