In article <9E51F88D5247B648908850C35A3BBB50036595293C@I...> you write:

I wouldn't go to Alan Greenspan for definitions.  An ideology (in the
modern sense) is something you believe to be right, not just a way of
doing things.  You can have a conceptual framework for building
applications, but unless you believe that it's the One True Framework,
it's not an ideology.
