[QUOTE="BeerSkunk, post: 349500, member: 6915"] Agreed. Data without rules is useless. This is where my Object Analyzer concept comes in. Some thing, separate from the data that applies rules. What the OA is, or how its implemented is anyone's guess. There are numerous ways of doing it, but the point is to keep data from knowing about how they interact with other data in our set. I assert that should be the job of some other entity. I think we're in sync here. Keeping the Data and the Rules separated. You're right that the Rules could very well be independent data entities. They could be something else entirely. I don't know how the Rules will be implemented, but essentially we're in agreement. It should be the Rules, as separate entities, that give the Data meaning, not the Data itself. Please correct me if I'm misinterpreting you, or throw blunt objects at me if I'm not making sense and need to clarify myself. :) [/QUOTE]
