Re: Moving the data?

Apologies for getting a bit technical here, but I'm bad at explaining this stuff in other terms. :-)

The issue of how to export subgraphs (the base of the Tenor structure is a classical "graph" in the computer science sense) is one that I've been thinking about a lot recently. It's still a few steps away, so right now it's just something that I kick around on long train rides and draw pictures in my notepad about, but it will be doable.

Actually exporting subgraphs isn't that hard -- what's hard is connecting that to the security model and being able to define or decide what is exported, how and to who. I've been putting a lot of thought into that, but if I went into it here it'd just be a lot of fuzzy technical blabbing that I'd probably change anyway, so watch this space. There will be more articles in the future that will cover the details as they become concrete.
