Standard applications help a new developer to come up to speed more quickly because other developers on the project can simply say, 'Oh, yeah. Extend STANDARD APPLICATION, update this configuration file and you'll be all set to run and test your application.'

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Make the components with which the user interacts standard applications which provide standard facilities and interfaces. These applications have a standard interface by which the backplane can manage their lifecycle methods. These applications can be dynamically loaded to help reduce the overall footprint of the system. Avoid having applications communicate directly with one another – use the interface repository for this purpose.claim0.788
  Prescriptive claim for the STANDARD APPLICATIONS pattern.
• Create a framework onto which the application level functions can easily be deployed. This is done by splitting the entire application into two broad categories, the backplane and standard applications. Make sure to provide facilities, such as an interface repository, to reduce coupling between applications.claim0.783
  Prescriptive claim summarizing the GARDEN OF APPLICATIONS pattern.
• Standard Applicationconcept0.778
• Viewing the system as a collection of applications is a valid and useful approach.claim0.755
  Foundational assumption for the pattern language.
• When a problem has a simple solution, a useful system will give programmers access to the simple solution; Parlog forces complex solutions to simple problems.claim0.753
  Critique that Parlog's abstraction level is too high and restrictive.
• We want to build systems which can be enhanced and modified in a piecemeal fashion. This is necessary because the requirements for systems inevitably change, sometimes even before they are deployed for the very first time.quote0.749
  Opening statement of the GARDEN OF APPLICATIONS pattern, articulating the core force.
• It seems likely that the simple cases will be most useful in the initial applications of Elephant 2000 and similar languages.hypothesis0.745
  Prediction about initial usage.
• How can we build systems that are easily changeable when requirements are unclear at project start?question0.741
  Central problem driving the pattern language, arising from user requirement that system design be fluid.
