Foil 15 Shared Places on the Web I

From Tango Futures: XML for Portals, Web-based Collaboration and Distance Education Rice University Tango Tutorial -- October 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Each "Shared Place on the Web" or SPW is a set of XML and HTML documents
An XML document defines the collaboration Structure -- who is allowed in "Shared Place"; what objects can be there; where they are stored
  • This replaces the suite of undocumented rigid policies in TangoInteractive as well as scattered configuration files
  • There is one such XML document for each type of SPW e.g. there would be distedtojacksonstate.xml or xmldevelopersconf.xml etc.
  • We have developed SPDL (Shared Place Definition Language) which is currently quite simple and is used in the SPW structure definition
