Lars,
I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I haven't thought too much about
the user interface aspect of things... 😊 However, off of the top of my head
the following are two GUI applications that would be feasible with a consistent
context hierarchy:
- Category browsing widget. As part of the categorization service
we developed a widget that could be dropped into for example a Bboard
forum. The categorization service would fetch all categories that
were mapped to objects underneath the forum object in the context
hierarchy. Thus Bboard posts could be nicely navigated in a tree
of categories. Note that such a generic widget requires that the name
and url of the objects can be fetched efficiently.
- Browsing all objects on your site. This is maybe only useful as
part of site-wide administration (if at all, I'm not sure). Starting
at the main site (package) object you could drill down and find every
single user-submitted piece of content on the site.
Lars, after your post I feel more confident that we can reach consesus
on this issue this time which would be great!
