A notion which can allow information manipulation in a Wiki With More Than Pages and a Wiki With More Than Users Thinking Out Loud.Donald Noyes.20110914
A Wiki Word is Words Smashed Together, while a Compound Wiki Word is Wiki Words Separated By Specfic Nonblank Delimiters.The string above, following the italic phrase, is an example of one using the dot (.) as the delimiter.
The Good Thing about such a notion is that it can be used as a Meaningful Name in a URI. It also can be manipulated to form collections named by any of its constituent Wiki Words, including collections based on any reordering of one or more of its parts:
Donald Noyes.Thinking Out Loud would be used as the filter to construct a collection of pages containing the two Wiki Words together, or if indicated, the Wiki Words separated by spaces and/or other words.
In the immediate form the collection would collect the Donald Noyes pages which include Thinking Out Loud and could be placed in sorted order of the modifiers (using the example, by Date Stamp).
One might also use the Notion to Collect all the Thinking Out Loud pages by a given contributor either ever created, or created in date order, or by month, or by year, decade, or century. (This is particularly useful in construction histories)
The use of Compound Wiki Words can indicate other things and provide for other kinds of things, including such things making possible a Wiki With More Than Users
To make these thing possible, Compound Wiki Words would be processed using a Wiki Query Language (WQL). An unimplemented (as yet) in any Wiki Engine I know.
