• Presented Multiple Listing Service Network (MLSN) Protocol at the University of Central Florida 2011 Research Fair
• Ongoing data research and collection of legacy mls numbers on the World Wide Web (WWW)
• Development integration with Red Hat’s Openshift Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Accepted Exhibition of MLSN Protocol at Nonprofit Technology’s (NTEN) 2012 Confernece and Science Fair in San Francisco
• Accepted MLSN Abstract Paper for presenting at American Real Estate Society (ARES) in April of 2012

As MLSN is presented to different groups such as academics and technologists, I am confident with the two upcoming presentations in 2012, especially in St. Petersburg at ARES, that the MLSN Protocol and WWMLS framework will alter others’ thought processes of not only the dysfunctional aspect of today’s legacy MLS, but also future directions in how real estate consumers interact and expect a specific quality of service (QoS) from real estate professionals. The main intention is integrate WWMLS in every aspect of the future of real estate.

Moving foward, the second phase for WWMLS will be the introduction of the messaging language called Real Estate Metadata Language (Remetal). This XML language will be used to markup properties in a self-describing, yet simple language for sending and receiving between the main OpenMLS Registry and accredited OpenMLS Registrars. I plan to propose Remetal to additional call for papers (CFP) on the academic and technical levels in 2012.

The third yet most important phase will be for the Real Estate Transport Protocol (RETP). This protocol defines the type of messaging, the distribution channels, error correction system, etc. Again, RETP papers will be proposed along with exhibitions at national and if necessary global science fairs.

The future of real estate is bright and changing.

And as the cliche goes, please stay tuned…

The user of the system interfaces with a browser on a desktop computer or an application on a mobile device. The middle tier is comprised of JBoss Application Server and Apache’s ServiceMix. I chose JBoss AS to allow for enterprise javabeans to be used along with all of the lovely enterprise features such as remoting, security, transaction management, presistence, messaging, resource pooling, concurrency control, and directory services.

I included a servicemix implementation component to jboss for deploying a webservice to external webservice clients. In addtion, servicemix allows for xmpp implementations along with messaging services over Java Messaging Service (JMS).

For authorization, an OpenID provider is accessed for warehousing usernames and passwords. Having users’ credentials stored by an OpenID provider removes the potential possibility of a security breach regarding usernames and passwords.

Lastly, I selected PostgreSQL for the application’s database layer. I have used PostgreSQL with many projects previously while the zero licensing cost to implement is most ideal.

To continue this development drill, I will next blog activity diagrams from using the potential use cases.

GR8C Biz Card created with Inkscape

For my upcoming trip to Icann Seoul, I needed a new set of business cards for networking purposes. One of the tools I’ve been using to create business brochureware for many years now is Inkscape. It’s an open source vector application which practically mirrors the functionality and features of Adobe’s Illustrator, but not the $599 cost to purchase.

Here’s how I created the card:

1. Create a new document.
2. Under File > Document Properties > Set Units to ‘in’ or inches
3. Change Page Orientation to ‘Landscape’.
4. Choose ‘Custom Size’.
5. The width of a business card is 3.5 inches.
6. The height is 2 inches.
7. I’ll leave the design part up to you, but I used ‘Bank Gothic’ font at 48pt size for the logo and 10pt for rest of text. I added a Medium style to my name and title while using Light for the rest.
8. I recommend using the grid feature for spacing in addition to the ‘always snap’ choice under File > Document Properties > Snap.
9. The most important step is saving your file in .eps format. An encapsulated format packages the font styles, font sizes, font faces, and colors so your printer will have all of the needed information to print your job.

The obvious element which needs a bit of attending to is the <location> element. So here’s my thought for this.

For <location>, Remetal will reuse the <Location> compound element offered by Google’s Keyhole Markup Language (KML). <Location> is the parent element to following elements as such:

   <Location>
     <longitude>39.55375305703105</longitude>         
     <latitude>-118.9813220168456</latitude> 
     <altitude>1223</altitude>
   </Location>

With this and a bit of xsl transformation, could this element inclusion lead to mapping apps reusing remetal listings? Hopefully is my first thought. I’ll let the developers decide what to do and resist tainting.

One of the main principles of the Internet is to “reuse” protocols which already exist, but in this case Remetal will simply reuse an element which already exists thanks to KML.

Feel free to leave comments.
