I realize the MONDO Design document is a bit difficult to digest in toto, so I thought I might try to produce short examples of MONDO's approach to particular problems that have been brought up on XML-Dev, c.t.sgml, JXML, java forums, or other related areas. This may help people to see where MONDO is different, useful, or flawed compared to other approaches -- and to have a particular topic to comment on instead of a whole (approaching 100 page) document. The most important word in the above paragraph was "short". I will try to be very brief: 1/2 - 3 pages. I have difficulty with this type of brevity (i.e. I hate leaving out details), but I will try very hard and I do have another outlet for more details: the Design Document and its additions. This brevity means that the approach statements will not really explain anything in detail, especially not the whys. This does not mean I think the problems are trivial or the solutions easy to understand on their own (MONDO is simple at its core but complex in its implications). The fuller description of the problem will come from previous or subsequent discussions, and the MONDO solution is (or will be) more fully explained in the Design Document, the interfaces, or the code. The brevity and the "emailness" of these approach statements also ensures I will not include any diagrams. I love diagrams and I think I produce pretty informative ones. Please look at the relevant (usually referenced) portion of the Design document to check for diagrams that may help explain how MONDO is thinking. Most of the approach statements will be pattern-ish. A Title, A Problem, An Approach, and Tradeoffs/Comments. Because the statements are so short they will not really be patterns (and certainly not good ones), but I thought I would mention the structure. I was planning on posting all of these to XML-Dev & JXML, and some of them to advanced-java. I am currently undecided about c.t.sgml. If anyone has suggestions about this ("not here" or "maybe there") let me know. ================== MONDO is a general architecture for encoding, modeling, and processing information. MONDO is especially designed for building information from human-readable text files and then doing sophisticated interactions with that information. Its first reference implementation is in Java, which will be released shortly.
