Terry Jones: Using FluidDB for storage in location-aware software

Using FluidDB for storage in location-aware software apps Terry Jones [email_address] @terrycojones

What is FluidDB anyway?
A simple hosted “cloud” database
Fully writable
Shared metadata engine for everyone / everything

Why don’t our architectures let us work with information more flexibly?

What would it take to build something that did?

Where to put related info / metadata?
How to get permission?
No need to anticipate
How to organize?
How to personalize?
Continue to own your data
Level playing field
Makes the world writable by default
Consequences

Data that increases in value when co-located
All data is social once we interact with it
Location data is inherently social
Social Data

Numeric: sally/latitude < 51.3645
Textual: nytimes.com/review matches “great”
Presence: has mike/rating
Exclusion: except has goodfood.com/rating < 6
Sets: christopher/opinion contains “cool”
Grouping/logic: (...), and, or.
A simple query language

For each possible action:
There’s a policy: ‘open’ or ‘closed’
And a (possibly empty) list of exceptions
Simple permissions

FluidDB is a simple online “cloud” database
It’s writable by any application, any person
It has a flexible data model
And a novel control / permissions structure
It’s perfect for social data
Location information is inherently social
