Hey, I want to start a new project. You can email me at [email protected]

im interested, what do you have in mind?

[VBproGGer]

Well that's just it. I'm trying to figure out what to do. What hasn't been done, and what would be a cool idea? Tell me whatca think!

Hello there!!

I like the idea. In fact, I could provide a great back-end to this project. Here's what I suggest...

Visit my website, download the on-line demo and see if you're interested in the project we're currently developing.

It's an associative database model, based on MS SQL Server. The concept behind it, is Tim-Berners Lee's Semantic Web
http://www.sciam.com/2001/0501issue/...rners-lee.html

The demo shows one possible implementation of Microsoft's 'pubs' database and is currently in read-only mode.

I was thinking of using the same concept to develop something that would be based on information networks and allow web users to input, share and inter-relate pieces of information based on a specific subject.

mail me at [email protected] if you have any ideas...

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about man. Care to explain a little more. What exactly does your app do?

[Makis Antypas]

it is a fixed generic SQL Server schema and a set of standardised XML interfaces for rapid database development.

Basically, all the developer needs to do is define a business model (a basic logical ER diagram) and use it to create a model of Types.

Unlike traditional relational db modelling, no Logical to Physical conversion is required. Instead of creating 'Tables' and foreign keys, everything is simplified to the following set of Types:

Object Types -> ie Person, Film, Book...
Property Types -> ie Date of Birth, Release Date, Address...
Classification Types -> ie Genre, Nationality...
Relationship Type -> ie Marriage, Film Director, Book Author...

This is so generic and can be used for any domain. Once this is set, the model (database) can be populated with data.

If requirements change at any point, all one needs to do is add more Types (or edit existing ones) to the system. Since no change in the schema is involved an application written on top of my system won't break (the XML structure for the interfaces is always the same)

The system also allows sophisticated searching like:

Show me all films directed by Woody Allen that were produced after 1990.

Or

What is the shortest path between the author of this academic paper and one of the people in my contacts' list

I was thinking of co-developing something that would allow people to navigate through information networks, create assosiation types (as you are able to relate any Object with any other Object for any reason) and in effect share the information with everybody.

any ideas?

Well, I don't know that much about SQL and databases man, sorry.

[Makis Antypas]

forget SQL and databases.... the point ot the app is to hide all the nasty database design issues from the developer.

I only wanted to give you an idea of what the product is about.

If you are still interested in developing something on this concept please let me know

Well I mean, we are kinda just learning database crap right now in VB class. I could help, but I may not know everything. But if you still want my help, email me at [email protected] or pm me.

Peace,

If you want to help, please email me at [email protected]

Thank you

[VBproGGer]

What kind of project?

[The Red One]

How about something like winamp or morpheus?

[VBproGGer]

Nah, those have already been done. Gotta do something unique and useful.

[The Red One]

well here's another one:
why dont we make a program that catches incoming phone calls when you'r online and lets the caller leave you a message or something.
(i know i need one)

[lutjebroek]

Could we make a program like GameSpy Arcade but hen for the xbox?
