- Exchange
- Integration site to coordinate use across several existing systems. We hope to be able to compose presentations involving exchangeable elements derived from independent systems (likely through RSS, JSR-168, and SOA). Eventually we hope to introduce market forces to help compare value as in a stock or commodity exchange.
- Portal
- There are three different uses: aggregator for JSR-168 portlets, access point for multiple independent systems, and transition point to ease movement between knowledge environments (as movement between K-12, undergraduate, and graduate education environments). We hope to advance to the latter and facilitate reuse of components for each environment.
