Rolonic Software Engineering in Brief

1. Common Data Structure - Everything is implemented as a Rolon. This includes commands, journal entries (which capture activity) and services. All Rolons, and only Rolons, are user objects.
2. Flexible Structures - Structures of Rolons are built using parent/child relations. Additional, arbitrary relations can be defined and used to interconnect Rolons. One such relation, Applicable Context is used to extend the namespace of a Rolon beyond the context implicit in the Rolon's location.
3. Open and Extensible - A Rolon can be expressed as an XML document and is implemented by binding elements to Java classes. Plugins are used to define and extend these bindings. All Rolons implement the same life cycle, enabling the composition of complex services from structures of Rolons.

Rolonic Software Engineering provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to the implementation of fully interoperable services, which is exactly what we need to implement Web 3.0.
