ABSTRACT:
A Connection Server provides very flexible structures for the identification of objects to be interconnected, the identification of the links which connect them, and the auxiliary information needed to materialize objects when they are referenced. The connection Server is designed as a stand-alone reusable component. It interfaces with other independent components for services such as classification attributes, distributed database services, Noumena (object) storage, etc. Clean public programming interfaces are available for all components. It is independent from the "front-end", the user driven display of the Connections and associated meta-data. It is independent from any authoring facilities which may be used to customize the services, meta-data, etc., that are provided.
