I think for interoperability, at least in the early days, simplicity is a requisite — which means no hierarchical _anything_...! The format itself should be robust enough to handle those uses through extensions, though, and I believe it does.
The initial ActivityStreams verbs and objects are not the only verbs and objects possible — they're just the ones we're focused on to start with. You can obviously invent your own — but it's up to you to proliferate support for those verbs/objects if interop is important for your use cases. 1 year ago Reply
Extending Activity Strea.ms focuses on the vocabulary, namely object types and verbs. As the specs say, it is possible to use hierarchical object types. So if I create an invoice in an enterprise context it would be the object type “invoice” in our enterprise activity streams namespace but it could still have a more general standard-object type like “page”. We expect enterprise usage of activity streams to need much more object types and some new verbs, too.
Currently, we are experimenting with extracting and collecting activity information from legacy systems (which do not publish Activity Strea.ms) and save them in our “middleware”. The middleware will then speak to the frontend (or any other frontend) using Activity Strea.ms format. This means that each plug-in for a legacy system would come with a mini-ontology describing the needed objects and verbs and its connection to standard Activity Strea.ms vocabulary.
Please let me know if you are interested in a discussion on enterprise adoption of Activity Strea.ms (twitter.com/boehr). 1 year ago Reply
