This month, Jay Epstein (https://twitter.com/jeppy64 http://jay-epstein.com/) Relativity model (http://jay-epstein.com/relativity/overview) talked about Recursive relationships w/ breadcrumbs & URL aliases using chained entity tokens (think of it as Relativity squared).

Jay started out the meetup by talking about chained entity tokens and how they can be used to track everything on your site.

He went on to talk about taxonomies (i.e. card type and visitor type). Vocabularies can be used for anything that needs a drop-down filter. Personas on the site are taxonomy terms and can be created by adding a term to the visitor taxonomy type. The home page shows a custom menu as a list of personas and each persona has their own visitor dashboard. Once you select a persona on the home page, the URL path is changed to the persona (i.e. example.com/persona) and all the content displayed will now be for that persona (i.e. example.com/persona///* . . .). The same content can be shared across personas under different URLs.

He also discussed the main content types (i.e. visitor dashboard, card group and card). A card group controls the cards within it, and cards can relate to other related cards. One card group has many cards, and one visitor dashboard has many card groups. A card is the lowest child (think Relativity).

Pretty mind blowing stuff, if you ask me!

We had three remote users and five in person.
