Looking for collaborators for an open source hierarchy library to enable new types of smart applications : java

Summary:

"Hello, I'm developing an open source hierarchy database library for use in smart applications. It organizes information in logical groups, for instance animals, biological molecules, or food recipes. You can then use it to analyze, research, compare and efficiently edit the information held within, and exploit the logic held within to enable very cool algorithms. I've developed the theory behind it for a while, and now I'm developing the code. You can find a description of it at www.openpatterns.net/#ents. I'm looking for serious collaborators to work on the Java version first, though I believe it will be ported to many languages and for many systems eventually. I don't think it's a very complex project as things go, but I believe it is very important, so I want it to be developed openly. If you think you understand the usefulness of the database, please contact me, I'm looking for people of any capacity to contribute to this open project in any way they can, even if they can't program at all. As a short example, say you had a database of animals organized by their properties. If you wanted to add a new animal to the database, the application could ask you questions about it in order to quickly and efficiently classify it within the hierarchy. It would not ask questions that were logically excluded by previous answers, saving you time and ensuring accuracy. By grouping categories logically, the user need only answer a minimal number of questions in order to gain the maximal amount of information about it. Then, using the database, one could compare and contrast two animals and the application could automatically find where they are similar and where they differ, generating an entry for study. There are many other benefits to using such a system ..."
