The suggested URI pattern is based on the distinction between non-information resources (abstract or concrete real-world objects), generic resources, and their representations. Generic resources are Web documents describing the abstract object they are associated with (e.g., a Dewey class). The pattern for generic documents defined in the current pool of Dewey URIs is as follows:
Creating Offline Web Applications With Dojo Offline by Brad Neuberg (SitePen), September 23rd, 2007 This tutorial steps you through creating offline web applications using Dojo Offline. What is Dojo Offline? Dojo Offline is an open-source toolkit that makes it easy to create sophisticated, offline web applications. It sits on top of Google Gears, a plugin from Google that helps extend web browsers with new functionality. Dojo Offline makes working with Google Gears easier; extends it with important functionality; creates a higher-level API than Google Gears provides; and exposes developer productivity features. In particular, Dojo Offline provides the following functionality: An offline widget that you can easily embed in your web page with just a few lines of code, automatically providing the user with network feedback, sync messages, offline instructions, and more A sync framework to help you store actions done while offline and sync them with a server once back on the network Automatic network and application-availability detection to determine when your application is on- or off-line so that you can take appropriate action A slurp() method that automatically scans the page and figures out all the resources that you need offline, including images, stylesheets, scripts, etc.; this is much easier than having to manually maintain which resources should be available offline, especially during development. Dojo Storage, an easy to use hashtable abstraction for storing offline data for when you don't need the heaviness of Google Gear's SQL abstraction; under the covers Dojo Storage saves its data into Google Gears Dojo SQL, an easy to use SQL layer that executes SQL statements and returns them as ordinary JavaScript objects New ENCRYPT() and DECRYPT() SQL keywords that you can mix in when using Dojo SQL, to get transparent cryptography for columns of data. Cryptography is done on a Google Worker Pool thread, so that the browser UI is responsive. Integration with the rest of Dojo, such as the Dojo Event system
A web-based Flickr viewer called Fluidr: www.fluidr.com it's in alpha at the moment but is quite stable. Fluidr is unique in a few ways. It offers a continuous pagination (infinite scroll) interface like Darckr and Flickriver but seamlessly turns into a slideshow with the press of a key (try hitting SPACEBAR). It also allows for adding faves and comments in the same interface (scroll or slideshow) rather than having to switch to a more cluttered one. Fluidr's interface is very simple, but allows you to view Flickr content in many ways. You can do the usual Explore/User/User Set/User Tag/Global Tag/Group Pool views, but you can also chose to explore a specific date using a calendar picker, view interesting videos from today or a date range (or an arbitrary date) and filter many of the previously mentioned views by photos only and videos only. Despite these options, it uses a common two line header that (I hope at least) isn't too confusing.

“A Beach house designed by Tatiana Bilbao for the artist Gabriel Orozco’s family. The house, which has a round pool on the roof, was organized around the conceit of camping. Like a tent, you must exit each room to the exterior in order to get to another room, such as the toilet or kitchen. “For Gabriel, it was not architecture; it’s more of a living sculpture,” Bilbao says, noting that she collaborated with Orozco on realizing the artist’s initial design.” Architectural Record

Los ojos del mundo (the world's eyes) illustrates the photos people visiting Spain leave behind them as evidences of contemporary tourism in the country. What do they see? What do they enjoy? Where do they travel to? Where do they come from? In order to answer some of these questions, and make tourism a more quantifiable phenomenon, the authors used flickr's large pool of photos (and its inherent metadata) to produce a set of 3 alluring visualizations mapping different behavioral patterns across Spain: (un)photographed Spain - density and flows of photographers in the Iberian Peninsula; Spaces of Diversity - Britons weaving their path in Barcelona; and finally, Spaces of Activity - photos from Barcelona with tags related to 'partying'.
