Jim on .NET Rocks
It’s really funny to experience your pal’s rise to stardom 🙂 I hope that Jim doesn’t forget his humble origins and friends :-))) Due to the years we’ve been working separately, our rhetoric has slightly diverged. I personally see a service as an architectural abstraction for encapsulating some piece of functionality, no matter how coarse-grained.…

Merging data graphs – myExperiment & Resource-Output Repository Platform
In a recent post, I briefly discussed our “research-output” repository platform and linked to a video of a demo visualization of the data graph stored in the repository. I had previously used the same WPF technology to visualize the myExperiment data graph. Since I’ve been talking about “data networks” a lot, I thought that it’d…
