[Sigia-l] Web browser based diagramming

[Donna M. Fritzsche]

Hi Stewart.
What you are describing is completely doable.  We did it for an Elearning project (pre-web) over 10 years ago.
Elearning content authors were able to create "state-based/content-rich" simulations by drawing the different simulation scenarios/process flows out in a tree diagram and attributing data to each state and each state transition. We saved the data/content links to a parsable file. (In a format that looked alot like XML). 

The interface was designed in a manner so that it was easy for authors to follow the flow of information and see where activity branched-off. One could also move, copy, delete or redirect nodes and transition links in an interactive manner.

I have been waiting for the online world to catch up! I would think that this type of work is already being done in-house somewhere.

Glad to see it starting to happen.

Donna
