[CWB] CWB4 and Ziggurat

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to draw your attention to a recent addition to the website, namely:

http://cwb.sourceforge.net/cwb4.php

We’ve added this page as a point of public information for the work toward CWB v 4.

As of now we would like to invite comments, questions and suggestions on the plans we have outlined for the future.

The first proposal is for the new Ziggurat database engine.  At the link above is posted an outline for how we intend this to work, including an explanation of the data model and summary of the file format that implements it.

If you’d to chip in on any aspect of the plan, please do so to this list (or, if you’d rather not speak publicly, to mine & Stefan’s email off-list). Plus any other questions about where all this is going are welcome too.

There is going to be a period of (probably) some months before serious work begins, due to the need to get all components to a stable point that we can branch before we break things in the main line of development, so there is ample time for discussion!

best

Andrew.
