* insert comment with header: author, date, subject and reply button.
* comment display by date, thread, author, etc., asending or decendong.

# add [[CatagoryVotableItemclass]], select from set or range.

In [[ObjectWiki]], every reference or link to an object represents a use case. See [[WikiReference]]. We are not following particular programming standards here yet as we have not set them. We are building statement gradually trying to keep it as simple as possible.
====Class: [[WikiObject]]
====
I introduce a class so that I can omit the outer brackets on my statements a make the code readable. The class context might be further refined in links to references on this page.

aWiki: Generate input form to create a new [[WikiWikiObject]] || [[WikiWikiObject]].input

modWiki: Modify the [[WikiWiki]] || aWiki:=aWiki.input

modWiki: Modify some other [[WikiWiki]] || aWiki:<code>WikiWikiObject.name</code>"Xyzwiki".input

myTable: || [[RelationalObjects]].new || address:<code>zzz; database</code>clients; query="select *"
----
This is a can of worms. The intension of [[WikiObjects]] is that they be general purpose. The papers I list their cover the general requirements we have identified which are made Wiki specific to some extent in [[ObjectWiki]]. I'll start with some categories of uses and everyone can add their own use case desires.

See [[ObjectWiki]] description and the [[WikiObjects]] syntax or the [[CollaborativeWebObjects]] project page.
===General capabilities
===
====Element reuse.
====
Rather than copying texts they can be referenced so that there is only one authoritive copy and dependencies are maintained by the system. Updates can be done in only place no matter how often the information is used.
====Automation of repetitive tasks.
====
You can define norms for a group process but you cannot make people follow them and they may make errors and omission in the process. Automating a process make it easy for a person to do the operation correctly while saving time and effort that can be used to more useful purpose than following procedure. Managing categorization is an example.
====InterWiki shared pages and shared authentication
====
====Database and object store.
====
[[WikiWiki]] itself becomes a programmable object store database.

Wiki objects (pages and elements) can be made available to other applications via web services (e.g. SOAP). [[WikiWiki]] becomes a collaborative tool for both effective content management and data management tool usable in a standard way with external applications. A standard object methodology means our separate efforts combine into a greater whole.
====Agents - rule set management that support a role
====
* programming by doing/example (repetitive tasks)
* work flow rules
* information filters
====HTML segment objects
====
* interface object tailoring - widgets
* basic media integration
* can't tell this is a wiki interfaces
====Media object support
====
* for full multi-media management and
* production via SMIL analog.
====Discussions
====
* [[ThreadPageClass]] - basic wiki page commenting facilitation
* attached to any object in a
* discussion hierarchy with
* summary reporting including unseen objects and object updates etc.
===Specific applications
===
====VirtualClassroom
====
* Question/brainstorming activity
* Exam activity
* Grade book
* Instructor, Student, and Admin agents.
====Task coordination
====

====Decision Support
====
* voting alternative/scales
* ranking
* assessments
* work flows
* real time wiki

For example you could add an "I agree" and "I disagree" button on a page that maintains pro and con lists and show the tallies in the item if you wish.

Buttons like "Add Problem" and "Add Alternative", "Add Pro" and "Add Con" can not only capture the relationship amoung items but allow summary reporting and add appropriate functionality buttons to the pages being added.

====Information Overload Management
====

====Knowledge Management
====
* [[CategoryClass]] - facilitation of wiki category management

====Project Management
====

====Mobile and Redundant Objects
====

====Secure Objects and Proven System Security
====
