Hi,

I'm interested in how to look at code or simple data structures as bases for puzzle-like interconnectivity among peers. On short if I write a piece of code, what would be the common data exchange path I should take in order for my app / code to talk with other's code.
This activity here looks promising.

@kosson I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'data exchange path' -- most software has multiple mechanisms available for data exchange, and each supports a different subset. In this project we are focusing more on how to build an interoperable and machine readable description of the software and its dependencies. We do include a description of inputs and outputs to the software in our crosswalks, but that doesn't really cover how data is exchanged, but rather what data is exchanged. I think what you are looking for is more like a structural provenance description. I'd be curious if our work on ProvONE covers part of what you are looking for?
