    1111 * There may be several alternative ways to open some type a resource. For example, the java.net JDIC project contains functionality for opening files and webpages, we at Aduna have written our own classes to do that, there may be customer-specific implementations, etc.

     13 * DataOpener may be a possible interface (already in the gnowsis architecture) that opens DataObjects. They could be related to the DataSource, as all they need to find the DataObject in question would be configured in the DataSource. A tricky DataOpener is (for example) the Mozilla Thunderbird email client: opening emails there is tricky to do but may be related to a conventional IMAP DataSource. Hence, If thunderbird is there, a special DataOpener could work, while when thudnerbird is away, a default text window would show the email.
