DEMOsfera: a Laboratory for eCitizenship in Sicilyjexxon
Ìý
DEMOsfera is a laboratory for e-citizenship in Sicily that aims to promote participatory development and social innovation through stakeholder collaboration. It brings together technical and political communities in an open online space to collectively experiment with new information and communication technologies (ICTs) to solve practical problems and define robust ICT solutions. Initial experiments on the DEMOsfera platform included a weekly news relay service, a networked fundraising system, and tools to enhance participation in political events. Lessons learned highlighted the importance of trust, addressing distinct community needs, and ensuring technology development does not depoliticize or commoditize citizens.
Comet allows for bidirectional communication between server and client by allowing long-lived HTTP connections. This overcomes limitations of traditional Ajax which uses polling. Comet enables new types of highly interactive web applications such as collaborative editing and streaming financial data. It works by having the client leave an HTTP request open to the server instead of closing after each response. The server can then push updates to the client without needing the client to poll repeatedly. There are different Comet architectures and techniques for implementing it on both the client-side, such as long polling and forever frames, and server-side. While not fully standardized, Comet provides a way to build real-time web applications today despite some browser limitations.
