The Next Phase of SASSY (2)
The core task of the data entry system is to create a data entry form from an RDF schema.
I have created a simple instance of this, but it is quite limited in both its abilities and its style. Something more flexible would be nice.
I am thinking that an Entry Form Language would be a useful middle ground between the schemas and whatever it is that implements the data entry system. This would be an RDF schema that defined the elements of entry forms. Specific forms would be created from a combination of schema data and style information.
As a proof of concept I will have a look at Qt's QML. It is a language for defining user interfaces, and appears to have both static and dynamic capabilities. It can therefore support both the classical data entry task as well as something that evolves with the user's new schemas.

The Next Phase of SASSY (3) The third class of data entry is intended for use during the initial discovery phase of a project when not much is known and a lot of note taking is required. The idea is to have a mind mapping style of program that is in the form of a graph. It will likely get quite large so it will need to support search and a variety of graph visualisation techniques. I imagine it will also have hooks to schema based entry forms for various types of data. These would include a glossary of domain specific terminology, a bibliography, and a directory of people and organisations associated with the project. #SASSY
