oke thanks..

That's it. As always: Speed or Space.

one reason is that they kick out VM.

relavance does not use one single byte in VM, so its ram never gets 
paged to disk.

so you actually need more ram because of that... but actually, the 
nodes are all on disk.

so you can read and trash all nodes, at disk speed, so its very efficient 
actually.

anton, you mean relavance.com? can't find much there in terms of 
technical information ...

Can't be corrupted. I've got some ways that will help. But I guess 
he means the core system is very simple, small, and used very frequently, 
therefore hard to introduce bugs into.

Christian, I would follow the original blog article link, maybe.

IIRC they have different disk access methods, but have their own 
File system which kicks out the os, so that they can properly implement 
the DMA. also note that their memory model has no memory fragmentation 
 the available ram and disk space is always contiguous!!

I remember reading a fair bit of material similar to maybe the first 
third what we're seeing now.

so its not just the concepts which are interesting, its the actual 
implementation to.

hw wise you cannot corrupt it, but obviously, if your application 
trashses connections... you can bugger up the db!

ah, my message did not get it thru :-) Is Carl's Concluding remarks 
following? Maybe a time for final questions?

Just out of curriosity, is there any existing relation to Intelligent 
(AI) software, 3th party software, with this concept?

self-solving context modules..

thanks Gabriele. Just what I thought.

A: to anton: very few organizations have implemented an AD up to 
now. Departement of Defense,, and also Health Care in Canada

:)

Resistance to change.  just like REBOL.

Hey, I worked at both those departments...way back.

Well, the US DoD work was thru NDHQ...

it sounds mighty interesting, but given the depth of information 
(or lack thereof) on their web site it doesn't surprise me that the 
hordes aren't storming in ...

Q: (not so important) How long ago did the DoD implement an Associative 
Database ?

[NDHQ being Canada's equivalent of US - DoD]

he was speaking of american DoD

It's too abstract for most people.

my reference was to btiffin's statement of his work with DoD was 
through Canada's equivalent.

Back then, Ada was the choice of lingo for the DoD, another, umm, 
high level fail case

I doubt that, there's just not enough information for people to evaluate 
whether it _could_ be interesting for them.

let's keep it in sane levels .... using rebol :-)

Agreed...simple is far safer for avoiding fail cases

his gui is a bit un intuitive, I had a private demo a few weeks ago 
and it a while before it feeling "obvious" to me.

... and web research is hampered by the fact that "relavance" is 
a common misspelling ;-)

ooo wow what nice drawings he has... realy great..

and BTW thought is just One application... its not The application.

5  min break now

Thanks Ron !

Massive applause from me !!

That was a good intro...

clap, clap, etc.

yea very interesting

tx Ron

Thankyou Ron.

almost 1000 connections today !

(on the web streams)

Oke who is getting the cake out ?

ill grab coffee

the stream really works fantastically well, congrats on that!

had some bad hickups last hour..
