of Health and Human Performance. My entire focus there is running our
virtual world program.


== Entities ==
I'm available to do projects on the side.
* Users- the representations of the real people making use of Flubber World
* Layers - sets of other entities. An entity can be in any number of layers. Layers
are themselves entities.
* Topology - underlying world is spherical WGS-84
* Services - imagine WSDL, a definition of what 'services' an entity provides.
* 'entities' (map lines and markings, basicly - in subclasses)
* POI - a defined point
* a balloon - a piece of chatted HTML text in a balloon
 
== Ubiquitous properties ==
These are properties that '''every''' entity has.
 
* key
* owner
* permissions
* z depth (not height, draw order)
* a 2.5D flag
* height
* existance time, with a complex crontab like '3am to 5pm on tuesdays' type syntax
* arbitrary metadata
* Services
 
== Common properties ==
These are properties that some entities have.
 
* merge object (how the object is represented if you zoom way the heck out)
* behavior ( definition of how the object 'behaves' - think LSL)
* physical state (velocity, mostly)
 
== Shared properties ==
These are properties that have similar meaning for seperate entities, but aren't common or ubiquitous.
 
Some of the metadata is meaningful to parts of the system.
 
== Special properties ==
These are properties that only exist for individual entities.
 
=== Users ===
* email, etc.
* owned entities
 
=== Layers ===
* set of entities - (note that a layer of users is a group)
* permissions (who can modify membership in the layer)
* owner
 
=== Topology ===
this is unique and not really an entity, but I thought it was importnat to say the world's not flat.
 
=== Services ===
* tags (like, hamburgers are a service of a restaurant)
* reviews
 
=== 'Entities' ===
* Have a distributed existance (possibly over a very large area, e.g. North America)
* might not have volume or area
* in classes that have special per class p
 
== POI ==
* actually an 'Entity', but POI's have services
 
== balloons ==
* HTML text content
* speaker (which could be any sort of entity, pretty much)
 
in practice of course there are some combinations that don't occur.
There's no way to make a layer or a service emit a balloon.
