Discussions about open source and innovation tend to cluster around
two opposing memes. One says that open source can't innovate; the
other that only open source can innovate. Both are wrong. Sometimes
large, well-funded R&D programs can achieve breakthroughs that
lone geniuses can't. And sometimes the reverse is true. Either way,
the real innovation of the open source movement is the architecture of
participation. It can help turn a good idea -- wherever it came from
-- into a best-quality implementation. Software companies that don't
choose the open source model have to find other ways to recruit and
reward participants. [Full story at
InfoWorld.com] [See also: other
open-source-related items]
The term 'open source' presumes that the essence of software is source
code, and that participation means hacking it. And that's true. But
the emergence of the services model creates modes of participation
that don't require access to source. Back in 2000, Rael Dornfest
introduced the term
open services in order to make that distinction.

When Steve Mallett recently cloned
del.icio.us to create
de.lirio.us, the predictable
controversy ensued. Here's a capsule summary:
Good! del.icio.us is closed-source, the world needs an
open-source social bookmarking service.
Bad! Geez, what a lame ripoff!
Rather than taking sides in this debate -- which I can't do, because I
sympathize with both positions while endorsing neither -- I'd like to
try to broaden its scope.

Submitted by joeldg on Thu,

For those of you in the #pa channel you are
familiar with the conversations we have been having about why to USE
the rdfs/rdf/owl/dc ontologies built into a parser just for FOAF.
One of the reasons for wanting this is because you
will get back a array of statements regarded as good, and another with
statements regarded as bad. By looking over this we can debug rdf
docs, determine what xmlns statements would be optimal and which are
not needed (some generators just throw a huge list in for no good
reason).
So I had created a parser from scratch that had
this capability but due to the fact that it is a from scratch
quick/hack deal I don't think it will be workable and it was not as
fast as the built-in SAX parser in PHP which defeats the purpose of
why we wanted to do that. In addition we needed a small parser that
does the basic job of RAP in a small set, yet still be extensible to
allow for vocabulary based parsing.
I am trying to marry these two concepts and it is a
pain. I have a nice
parser
that I am using as the base as it keeps the structure in a very good
form for filtering through the vocabulary checker in an "after-parsed"
way.
Another point to note is that using the
vocabularies we can specify based on a few things
(class/property/disjointwith/subclassof etc..) we can specify a
general distiction of how to treat data within tags.
For instance, rdfs:subPropertyOf has specified
range and domain of Property which is defined in rdf-syntax-ns which
makes sense, so based on this fact, if this property is used in a
different context we can throw a warning. If it is used within a
disjointwith then throw an Error.
At least this is the base idea and it will
become clearer as work progresses on this. I am limited in my capacity
to work deeply on this as I have a full time job.. So this is
basically a side-project..
Anyway, enough rambling. Marc wanted a diagram
for how pDNS fits in with everything else.. I took the word "fits"
literally and create this following puzzle-piece diagram
;)
To explain:
pDNS
totally depends on the parser, pa needs pDNS for doing lookups in a
logical way that is not as screwy and intensive as rdql as we are
looking for large scale in this project.
Anyway, any
questions.. drop em.. or any suggestions..

01/03/2004 09:29 AMPricing and Architecture of the Internet: Historical
Perspectives from Telecommunications and Transportationht
tp://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/pricing.architecture.pdfWith telecommunications in a slump, the search is on for
ways to re-invigorate this key industry. The main problems are
clearly economic much more than technological, and many of the
proposed remedies would lead to new architectures for the Internet
that would provide for greater control by carriers. They would
drastically reduce the role of the end-to-end principle, the main
foundation for the success of the Internet, in which functionality
resides at the edges of the network. The proposals to restrict voice
over Internet (VoIP) are just one part of this trend.
Historical precedents from telecommunications for introduction of
differentiated services and sophisticated charging methods on the
Internet are discouraging. The almost universal trend has been
towards decreasing price discrimination and simpler pricing. The
history of transportation presents a different picture, with
frequent
movements towards increasing price discrimination and
more complicated pricing (although with many noteworthy reversals).
Charging according to the nature of the goods being transported has
been and continues to be the norm. Since the incentives to price
discriminate are increasing, and the ability to do so is also growing,
it is conceivable that telecommunications might break with its
historical record and follow the example of transportation. It is
therefore of interest to examine the evolution of pricing and quality
differentiation in transportation.

Ad Hoc Categorizations and the Emergence of Context Effects: "We
discuss how marketers may actively affect categorization processes to
increase product appeal, for example, in brand extensions and other
category-based product evaluations."
I am looking at Ad-hoc categories (and came across the link above)
and what they mean for information architecture.
Ad-hoc categories are categories like "things to take on a camping
trip" - they can be created immediately and form a category, even if
they didn't exist before. I believe that's the definition.
They have specific properties (for example, their members
can have nothing in common other than the fact of their membership,
while still showing gradation-of-membership effects.), and are already
being used on the web (for example Amazon's "People who bought this
book also bought" looks like an ad-hoc category.)
Of course, your copy of Women, Fire and Dangerous Things has some
things to say about ad hoc categories, and Lawrence W. Barsalou did research talking about how these are goal-derived
categories (I look at ad-hoc categories as a bit broader than
goal-derived categories. The Amazon example isn't goal-derived, for
example, but it's ad-hoc.).
I'm just starting my investigations into this particular
intersection of information architecture and cognitive psychology, any
ideas are very welcome.

11/15/2003 07:42 AMI've just caught up on my Dre
amspaces and been confronted with a conundrum. In a piece about
brutalist architecture, they featured the Tricorn centre in
Portsmouth. Here's a picture of the building in question:
Now, this building hasn't had the most illustrious of histories. It
was built in 1966, given an award in 1967 and voted Britain's fourth
ugliest building in 1968. It is generally reviled by the public and
will not be protected by government by being listed. But when the
architect - Rodney Gordon - is asked about the general distaste
towards his building, he replies:
"Well I'm very surprised. A lot of people liked the
building. One thing I do find is that any piece of architecture worth
being called architecture is usually both hated and loved. If people
don't notice it, it's not architecture."
That last phrase seems extraordinary to me - stunning in its
arrogance and audacity and completely in opposition to most of the
understandings of design and architecture that I've accumulated over
the last ten years. That kind of ostentatious statement of impact
above function was given up within the first ten years of web
design. What Gordon is talking about is the construction of follies -
buildings with little or no function but to inspire and awe.
Unworkable spaces, unusable spaces. We have them on the web too -
sometimes even intentionally - either as art or design showcases or as
image-based impactful press prelease or advertising spaces. But this
is different. This is a site - a space - designed for shopping and
socialising that wants desperately to be innovative and impressive -
the architect all the while dismissing the subtle and less overt arts
of flows and usability, building things that are not scaled for humans
or comprehensible to them. All the things that allow a place to be
understood by people are dismissed as unworthy of the name of
architecture. And why - because the building must be noticed...
It's stunning. It's terrible. And I'm fairly sure it's wrong.
