Hi all,

Congrats on the letter from Encarta to PFAF. It'd definitely increase
visibility to a lot of users (and draw eyes from folk looking for the
name of cabbage).

Last night I searched around, and played with some graphing engines,
and producing dynamic XML from the database on the fly.
Here, I'm finding all the uses used by a plant Family, then graphing it
out. You can start to see the connections/relatedness in terms of use.

Check out:

Proof of concept. Best proof? Hardly, but a start.

Very nice, Richard did a demo app like this earlier. I'm curious as
to how it connects to the info. Static file? I think xml-rpc will be
pretty handy for connecting the data to a GBI part.

Since I was having trouble connecting to the DB on ibiblio, yes, 3 static files.
On localhost, you can enter any family into the url (family=), and get dynamic results.

Hmm, is Richard's still around?

Cheers,
Bear
