Domains and Types: New Main Domain

2008-10-08T06:30:11.0012Z

Thanks Cheunger,

I was actually thinking of having the cycles only go as far as components. So they wouldn't be based on purpose - they would however have a genre on the model...

I'll do up a domain. Seems to be the way.

Thanks for the help.

Shoot, here's the link to the mailing lists.

Domains and Types: New Main Domain

2008-10-07T16:25:20.0012Z

Hi James,

You're correct - the best way to start is to model Cycling in a personal domain and post a request for review, or for harder data-modeling questions, you can join the data-modeling list (here).

My question back to you is, can you generically represent most or all bikes in a single cycling domain? It seems that mountain bikes have different specs that people are interested in (hard-tail, full suspension, type of suspension) vs road bikes (possibly materials and weight). You might want to think about domains centered around a specific biking style.

Howdy Guys,

Haven't been a member long, but I was planning on doing a main domain (not a personal one, but under Special Interests). It was like automotive, but for Cycles (bikes, trikes, tandems - etc).

There are a few personal domains around that are similar. Cyclocross (Mikeshwe) and Bicycles (Collord) - I guess this would be a best of both worlds, like the automotive one.

Am I just being silly? Should I start a personal domain first? I guess this is just to find out what I can actual do, thought it would be better to ask.

With Thanks

Domains and Types: Job Titles

2008-10-04T00:17:16.0012Z

Regarding job titles, having worked briefly in a large company where every floor had half a dozen VPs, I can tell you there's a huge difference between say, "VP, LargeInvestmentBankRUs", "VP, LargeInvestmentBankRUs France", and "VP, Fixed Income, LargeInvestmentBankRUs Hong Kong". I know nothing about Exxon Mobil's internal organization, but I'm pretty sure division and region qualifiers in front of job titles like "president" and "manager" are significant.

Publishing: Possible revision for Journal Articles

2008-10-03T21:44:02.0012Z

The more I think about it, the less I'm comfortable with the denormalization. I think we should model for the large majority of cases, and just use the CVT for now. (Stuff can always be added later, if there turns out to be a demand after we start getting journal articles in any kind of quantity.)
