Re: [vwrap] What abstract type systems already exist?

Thanks for finding the P1828 wiki, Robert.

I looked through it to try to answer my question about whether they talk
about anything like our shared asset services, but the wiki seems to be
mostly full of placeholder terms and external references, which is in line
with what Joshua said about technological surveys.

Notice that even our VWRAP group is part of their scope.  Under *Existing
Working Groups* --> *Groups Developing Standards* --> *VWRAP*, they link the
article that Joshua, David and I wrote for IEEE Internet Computing magazine
in Feb 2010:
http://internetmessagingtechnology.org/pubs/VWRAP-for-Virtual-Worlds-Interoperability-mic2010010073.pdf

It'll be interesting to see what they do in this space once it goes beyond
technology surveys.

Morgaine.
