Hardpan Technologies and the Ex Libris Model – Bookshelf Concept and Service Architecture Design – Overview

Corresponding to development of the Hardpan Technologies web log ('blog), I would like to begin making some formal, public notes as with regards to a design not for a patent insomuch as it is a design for a bibliographical content management system. Today, I would wish to extend of that same design with a set of features for support of book sales – and that, without offending the sensitivities of libraries as institutions. So, a capital idea and a wave to the socialized state aside, the thing would focus on JCR and CORBA, firstly for data structures and personal content access, secondly for data services as may be provided on a heterogenous network medium of no too simple authenticity.
So, the initial server component would be implemented in Java, and the first service client toolkit may as well be implemented in Java, also. The server, in this design, would use ModeShape – nothing too specific in the data serialization layer, howrver. The server and the client would both use JacORB, and – ideally – the hosting operating system's Kerberos support, X.509 certificate model, and user interface.
It being implemented in Java, the first client application may not be available on iOS platforms. The intermediary IDL interfaces, however, could as well be implemented in C# for iOS platforms, and OS X platforms, and the desktop. Perhaps there's a port of Cocoatron for Android, too. The author is rather more immediately familiar with Java(r) toolchains, however, and the author does not have access to a normal XCode installation. So, initially, it will be implemented in the Java programming language, for Linux and FreeBSD servers and for Android mobile operating systems.
The author may or may not publish the Android app, at the Android app store. Initially, it will be installable for Android platforms, in application of the Android Studio IDE. "All smiles" for the newest innovations in development of the Gradle DSL for Android Studio applications, and the inevitable (?) Gradle-Ant and Gradle-Maven adapters, if one should wish to search around for such adaptive technology.
There's the architecture of it. It needs a name, too, and I have a name for it: Ex Libris, under the Hardpan label. Unique, huh? In that quality, it extends likewise of a design of a small model for access to, and user-unique creation and annotation of automotive notebooks in a user's own digital data model, in a manner ostensibly extensible for whole automotive crews, in applying CORBA, FreeBSD, Android, OBD-II libs, and the BeagleBone Black platform as a "Shop appliance" with a suitably stylish and functionally sturdy enclosure. No patent pending of this design, here licensed CC BY-SA 3.0.
Ex Libris, in its bookshelf features - no too long nod for BibTeX in Java.
Further design TBD.
