<p>Imported current content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> This page is for Use Cases for [[WikiObjects]].<br /> <br /> These descriptions should follow the [[ExtremeProgramming]] style, i.e. they should be from the point of view of a &#039;customer&#039; - what tangible benefit would a &#039;customer&#039; get.<br /> ----<br /> The simplest use cases consist of [[WikiExtensionUseCases]]<br /> ----<br /> ==Use Cases That collect information off multiple Wikis.<br /> ==<br /> <br /> The main use would be for add on services to wiki - especially experimental add on services providing navigation across multiple wikis. As a starting point a [[WikiWikiObject]] is needed which gives information about Wikis. This could be used as follows:<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Example:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; Many wikis have information about books and films. A [[WikiObject]] could gather the recent changes pages from a dozen wikis, scan for new or modified pages about books and then present a recent-book-pages-changes page.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Example:&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; A [[WikiObject]] is written which implements synonyms. Another [[WikiObject]] merges the page name lists across twenty odd wikis, once per day. Now I can write a service which does a smart find across page name titles using these two [[WikiObjects]].<br /> <br /> ----<br /> </div>
