• "XSLT transforms library"; would need some extensions and updating to XSLT 2.0
• Generic JavaBean editor, included in ecolosim

• eXist (registered 2001-01-05 12:01)
• JGraph Diagram Component (registered 2001-12-31 17:18)
• XMLPublication (registered 2002-02-18 16:52)
• Worldwide Botanical Knowledge Base (registered 2003-01-11 13:05) - WWBKB
• EcoloSim - Ecology Simulation Framework (registered 2004-01-14 12:41) 

Ideas of projects

• make a library of reusable designs in UML/XMI, Java or otherwise, both implementations (e.g. design patterns) and business and scientific models, to promote reusability among free software developers
• make a database of XML Schemas, using an XML database such as eXist
• make a Java interface for XML editors and XML applications, and provide wrapper implementations for Pollo and others
• specify and realize my vision contained in "Extensible browser and editor specification"
• design and implement Jeff Ruskin's ZIP (Zoom Interface Paradigm), in a (slightly) generalized version with one or several zoomed regions (can be reused for the Extensible browser)
• make a shared geographical database
• make a classification and a series of interfaces for groupware, content and knowledge management programs
• explore the concept of an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) based on agents and atom valences, consumers and producers of interfaces and XML Schemas
• following an XML schema that describes a programmers's documentation file, write about recipes (code fragments), tools uses, etc. These are meant to be readily usable, like how to open an URL with JAXP to get a DOM object, how to validate in command line with Xerces, etc.
• somehow reduce the gap between user interfaces: stand-alone GUI interfaces, command line and Web interfaces
• explore the relationships between XML Schemas and XSLT transforms (transforms adapted to a Schema, transforms equivalent to a Schema, Schema implied by a transform, etc)
• develop a methodology to design XSLT transforms
• generic GUI for shell scripts
• zealous butler: using "sensors" that watch user actions and system events like opening files, receiving a mail, etc; being able through machine learning, to predict user actions and propose them to user
• repository of XML Schema with eXist; see in block-note informatique on 2004-07-25 "Idée: référentiel de XML Schema avec eXist"
• Web site for management of training (attendees, skills, sessions, ...) , see  2004-07-06 - Système d'Information pour la formation
• Notes and ideas manager by topics (with one note being associated to possibly several topics of a semantic network of topics - see "Idée: Spécification: Classeur de notes"
• collaborative project user interfaces with a construction game metaphor
  
• find an alternative to EJB based solely on Java interfaces, and possibly decorator Design Pattern; see Architecture EJB, and Réflexions sur l'Orienté Objet
  

My interest subjects and studies

• explore rule-based programming and expert systems (Protégé, OWL, KIF, Prolog, DAM+OIL, etc)
• explore functional programming (ML, CAML, etc) and proof of programs
