Adlet Composition Rules

Concatenation

An example of an adlet requiring the concatenation operator is an information-gathering-adlet, which concatenates all the matched adlets it encounters during its itinerary, and carries them back to the parent document or the end user.

Equi-Join

An example of an adlet requiring the equi-join operator is an archive-building-adlet, which finds the common features of related documents so that later on it can create a virtual site with links to these documents.

BW-Join

An example is a user-profile-adlet which broadcasts itself to many sites to collect URLs of related documents and then combine these lists for the parent document or the end user.
