Here is the Category-Based-Browsing project page. This project is staffed by Stacey Aylor, Jesse Hatfield, and Stephen Davies. In former days, it was staffed by Jonathan Morin, to whom we all owe a considerable debt.
Thursday night thoughts on raters
Wednesday afternoon meeting notes with Jesse and Stacey and Stephen
By Friday the 30th:
- Have the test harness fixed.
- Have a few of your friends/classmates run through it, just to sanity check that the instructions are clear, that the thing works and is understandable, etc.
- Stacey -- be able to present a concise summary of other AQL-ish systems including, but not limited to, the various FSQL's. Tell us about the parts of the languages that pertain to what we want to do regarding fuzzy-set-based membership querying. Tell us whether there are any usable implementations of these systems that would work with MySQL, and whether there's any English language documentation. <b>There are two goals: (a) make it so that we don't spend time implementing something if there's something already available that's quicker to get up and running, and (b) make us immune to the charge of "you fools, you think you're the first ones doing this category-based querying thing, but you obviously don't know about X!" that reviewers might level against us.</b> Definitely look at [1], below, as well as things that this cites (or that are cited by it.)
- Jesse -- think deep thoughts about the different kinds of queries we might want an end user to be able to make. (examples: "show other films in category X"; "show films in the intersection of categories X and Y"; "show a histogram of attribute X with respect to attribute Y for films in category X"; "show the (weighted) average of attribute X for films in category Y"; etc.) Come up with a list of them, with examples, and with an idea of what primitives AQL would need to provide in its language in order to support them.
