Higgins 2.0
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins|eclipse_custom_style.css}}
Higgins 2 is the new stuff that we're working on - it is a Personal Data Service. The view from 50,000 feet looks like this:
The current demonstration code contains three major conceptual pieces:- Higgins 2 Server: This provides an RDF data store of the users' data, organized according to the Persona Data Model 2.0. It exposes this data to the Higgins javascript client via a Comet messaging interface, enabling javascript applications such as the Browser Extension and the Portal, described below. It also exposes the data via a generic SPARQL endpoint for server-to-server integrations.
- Higgins 2 Portal:
- Higgins 2 Browser Extension: This provides a prototype that allows the PDS to interact through a browser extension. This model supports javascript applications that have access to a user's browsing context as well as the PDS, enabling interactions between the two. For example, data from a web page could be stored in the PDS, or data from the PDS could be exposed to a web site.
These conceptual pieces are broken down to a much more granular level and implemented in many components, as described in the Personal Data Service Overview.
