The following outline will serve as a guide for the next 20 posts. I found this Table of Contents at www.bplans.com for software companies. There are hundreds of samples to choose from so I am not going to put much energy into format now.

I hope to make LifeGraph software affordable to everyone who can afford any computer system, new or used--say $10 (2010 dollars). Ironically, I see a paper-based product developing concurrently with LifeGraph software that will sell for $100 (2010 dollars) a volume just to appeal to the traditionalists who will like an acid-free paper version bounded under hardcover to last a century. A volume is a decade's worth of object-oriented transactions pretty-formatted, indexed and printed for binding.
LifeGraphs are native XML databases with valid and well-formed XML documents that are encoded with the 3D geometry, 3D acoustics and 6-DoF haptics for tangible items (i.e., goods). These documents are either richly or poorly annotated with financial, legal, regulatory and operational safety parameters found on receipts, warranties, packaging labels, instructional manuals, notices, and other printed materials for the good. Services are XML documents that animate the behavior delivered. Since the recipient of the service may not own any of the goods to be in a configuration to receive the service, the standards for providing the 3D characteristics of those items are questionable. For example, if you buy a $300 ticket to attend the superbowl and you don't even get a paper ticket but just have to show two government issued ID cards, what does the ticket seller provide you for your LifeGraph?
The scope of what you are proposing is large indeed. It would be good to break it down into manageable components leveraging existing services to demonstrate value in some relatively simple ways, thus, motivating progress on more complex features.
ReplyDelete400 hours you mentioned seems extremely ambitious for this solution. But I love the idea! It would be interesting to correlate anthropomorphic data models into the equation as an example case study. Should you move forward with that, touch base with me for idea details.
