Identity for web 3.0

http://agilewiki.wiki.sourceforge.net/Identity

I've been looking at web 3.0 and find that I very much agree with the ideas. I would categorize web 3.0 as being a p2p system which supports multiple points of entry (home, office, cyber cafe), where the nodes support information fusion, have pluggable applications and some native reasoning. And this is exactly what I've been working on for so many years now.

Today I've been thinking about an easy way to validate user identity in such a network. See the above link for details. It is reasonably easy to do and I've introduced only one new idea--categories of passwords.

Element Model release 12.0.0

The renameChild command is working again.
Dump no longer writes out prebuilt rolons.
Changes to the basic architecture are now restricted, as changes not preserved when migrating to a new release via dump/load are no longer permitted.
New Plugin interface.
New ConfigurationManager converts a list of plugins into a configuration file.
Keywords are now broken out as a separate plugin.

With the new plugin facility it is now trivial to configure a program. And for each new service/facility/application, you create a new plugin.

The utilities have been revamped as well.

Finally completed the operational theory of the element model. I do hope you find it helpful.

Roadmap for ElementModel and AgileWiki4

A comprehensive road map for Element Model and AgileWiki4 has been added to the home page. Inferencing, a mail client and versioning are included.

The development team (2) is far too small for the work planned. If you are a Java developer, your participation would be most welcome!
