[Cosmo-dev] Dojo information model

[Katie Capps Parlante]

Brian Skinner sent me a note about the Dojo project's information model. 
(Brian used to work with us at OSAF; his OpenRecord project is now at 
Dojo). From his email:

> Dojo and IBM are now very actively working the design for a standard
> Dojo "Data Store API".  We're working hard to try to ensure that the
> design is works smoothly for a wide variety of data stores, including
> semi-structured data sources like RDF, JotSpot, Ning, Chandler, etc.
> 
> The work is has started to move fast, and I expect Dojo will have a
> basic data model API in a matter of weeks and some implementations
> done in a matter of months.
> 
> I thought OSAF might like to get involved in the API design, with an
> eye toward making sure that the API is sufficiently expressive to
> represent Chandler/Cosmo/Scooby data, in case the Scooby project
> someday ends up using lots of Dojo widgets and wants to make use of
> all the standard Data Store bindings.

I'm not yet caught up on the sharing format conversation, and I haven't 
yet followed up on this Dojo project, but I wanted to pass this along to 
everyone.

Cheers,
