	IIS.NET - Article - An End-to-End Extensibility Example for IIS7 Developers
		Extensibility certainly didn't make the Top Ten IIS 6 feature list.
		The IIS team had to deal with more urgent issues, for example improving security, reliability and performance and IIS 6.0 is a huge step forward in this regard.
		Never before was it so easy to plug code deep into the IIS core pipeline and extend IIS in ways impossible before.

	Diagnosing Java Code: Designing extensible applications, Part 1
		White box extensibility, in contrast, refers to the ways in which a program can be extended by modifying or adding to the source code.
		The study of open box extensibility is concerned primarily with how to facilitate various kinds of extensions, given the ability to change the program when necessary.
		Glass box extensibility refers to the ways in which a software system can be extended when the source code is available for viewing, but not modifying.

	Extensibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In software engineering, extensibility (sometimes confused with forward compatibility) is a system design principle where the implementation takes into consideration future growth.
		In systems architecture, extensibility means that the system has been so architected that the design includes all of the hooks and mechanisms for expanding/enhancing the system with new capabilities without having to make major changes to the system infrastructure.
		Extensibility can also mean that a software system's behavior is modifiable at runtime, without recompiling or changing the original source code.

	mnot’s Web log: Extensibility and Interoperability
		Extensibility is a pill that the XML world is still digesting; there’s still a lot of work going on with regard to it and its much-misunderstood cousin, versioning.
		This is what’s happening in WS-I for Web services, a technology that is pretty extreme in its extensibility (so much so, in fact, that it’s being profiled in stages, where the foundation profiles themselves have extensibility, for other profiles to slot into).
		The choice of those extensibility points needs to be a carefully made; there may be good reasons for locking down options in a standard when there is no need for variability in a particular dimension.

	Intersouth Partners \| Success Stories \| Extensibilityâ¢
		Founded in 1999 and sold in 2000, Extensibility took maximum advantage of a limited window of opportunity and became an early-stage success story for the Research Triangle.
		They recognized that the language would certainly be used, but that very few companies were using it at the time â“ the company was creating tools that enabled businesses to use the cutting-edge technology just as the power of the language was becoming apparent.
		As Extensibility began talking to customers about its technology, company executives realized the scope of the market they had tapped.

	10. Extensibility (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The term "schema evolution" is used for operations that modifyexisting class definitions or the inheritance graph; the term "instanceevolution" is used for the process of making existing instances consistentwith modified class definitions.
		The CORBA Specification itself is extensible and there is a workinggroup within OMG that is active in working on extensions to the specification.
		The underlying concepts and structure of the Smalltalk languages areminimalistic and the real capability of the language is delivered by thesignificant number of system and standard classes defined in all Smalltalkimplementations.

	Diagnosing Java code: Designing extensible applications, Part 3
		In contrast to glass box extensibility, which we discussed in the last Diagnosing Java Code, fl box extensibility refers to the ways in which a software system may be extended when the source code is available neither for viewing nor modifying.
		Black box design is the kind of extensibility that involves user configuration to customize the application to perform in ways most useful to a particular context.
		After all, the whole point of adding extensibility is to reduce the cost of implementing new functionality in a system.

	Exploring Extensibility: Your First Visual Studio Add-in
		This walkthrough starts by explaining the extensibility options available to you as a developer and then shows you how to create your first add-in in a few short steps, as well as how to build one from a recorded macro.
		This is shown in the "Extensibility Pyramid" that the Visual Studio Extensibility team uses in its Developer Labs and at conferences like PDC 2005.
		MSDN provides a view of the extensibility space and the partner catalog in its Extensibility Center.

	transactional schema - RE: Schema Extensibility
		Extensibility can also play a significant role in SOA-based scenarios (service-oriented systems).
		This can be handled via "contracts" between parties that specify a particular data model associated with a service, that may be different than that used by other parties that base their exchanges off the same "base" schema.
		The debate broadened and a variety of helpful and > interesting views were voiced about versioning in general and > as a related subject extensibility.

	RDF and OWL for extensibility and versioning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The rationale for extensibility and versioning are explained in the TAG finding that Norm and I have been working on for some time.
		Distributed touchless extensibility and versioning is fairly well defined in the finding, but a rough summary is that it promotes loose coupling of systems by allowing one side or the other of a message exchange to evolve or change without requiring the opposite side to change, or be "touched", in any way.
		This is extremely difficult in XML schema to forbid certain elements in an extensibility point at the end of a structure.

	Urban Potato - Cider's Extensibility Architecture
		Then, I need to give you a little background on how Windows Forms implements their extensibility, and finally I can start to describe how we do it in Cider and why we chose to do things differently.
		That meant that our designer had to be built from the ground up using the same extensibility model that we exposed to 3rd parties.
		Extension is the base class for all extensibility in Cider.

	Simplicity and extensibility
		Tim O'Reilly writes in Dan Gillmor's comments: "Simplicity and extensibility should not be orthogonal.
		There seems to be the same issues of simplicity vs extensibility in this space too, although nowhere near as much mud-flinging.
		ENT necessarily doesn't have the same extensibility, or breadth of functionality, that XTM has.

	XML.com: Extensibility, XML Vocabularies, and XML Schema
		Both languages provide explicit extensibility points and rules for understanding extensions that enabled the decentralized extension and versioning of the languages.
		This guides the language design as some features, particularly extensibility, must be planned for in V1 and various features may be incompatible across different languages.
		For example, writing a V2 compatible Schema in XML Schema requires special design (shown later), which is not required in a schema language such as RelaxNG.

	Application Extensibility in Python
		As an interpreted language, Python is extensible in a number of important ways.
		The author has taken advantage of this aspect of the language in the implementation of a multi-featured and extensible mail and Web form handling and processing application.
		Another important requirement of the application being discussed is extensibility of the recognized command set.

	Extensibility pattern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer programming, the extensibility pattern is a design pattern that provides a framework for straightforward addition of functionality to a system at a later date.
		Extensibility is often desired when an application must be able to support new features, such as networking protocols or file formats, that do not yet exist.
		This requires the application to supply a framework for the general problem without concern for the specifics of details.

	Extensibility Points - Enterprise Integration Patterns
		One person was recently willing to watch me rub the crystal ball and proclaim what kind of variability and extensibility points their application, which is currently under development, should have.
		Either you need to be able to modify or extend the application core itself or you need to have a user interface that is flexible enough to have the separate applications appear as one.
		Admittedly, this was a superfast sweep across extensibility requirements for an "enterprise class" application.

	ISerializable - Roy Osherove's Blog : Introducing: Extensibility Application Block
		If you were to go today and try to build an extensible application, you'll be faced with a myriad of articles and HOW-TOs, each explaining the story a little bit differently than it's predecessor.
		The solution I present here is based on my experience writing extensible applications in.Net and on all the things I learned while trying to figure out the best way to achieve specific abilities while trying to maintain a generic approach.
		In the extensibility block there are special objects for which the only purpose in life if to find and load plugins.

	Owen Braun: OneNote 12 : New Extensibility in OneNote 12
		We've taken a pretty measured approach to extensibility in OneNote up to this point, as those of you familiar with our SP1 Import API know.
		OneNote 12 is a little less measured, in that we now support a full import/export API (meaning that anything you can create in OneNote manually, you can now import and export as XML), a few automation APIs, and the ability to add buttons to OneNote to call into your external solution code.
		Our main extensibility goals for this release were to make OneNote data accessible programmatically, and to enable simple connectors between OneNote and related business applications (for example, for sales folks can push their OneNote notes directly into a CRM system).

	ITworld.com - Tibco buys Extensibility
		The product lines are also complimentary because Tibco doesn't have some of the products that Extensibility has, such as an XML server.
		Tibco plans to incorporate Extensibility's technology, which is used to design XML schemas that enable e-businesses to create and exchange digital documents and validate electronic commerce transactions into its own products.
		Meyer said that combining Extensiblity's technology with its own XML and schema management capabilities will enable customers to create new types of software applications for conducting business over the Internet.

		The Script MIB Extensibility protocol (SMX) defined in this memo can be used to separate language specific runtime systems from the runtime system independent Script MIB implementations.
		The lightweight SMX protocol can be used to support different runtime systems without any changes to the language neutral part of a Script MIB implementation.

	17.2.8 ``In Large'' Extensibility Model
		In fact, however, both type- and shell-based extensibility models, as well as system and application level extensions, can be mixed within ``in large'' programming paradigms.
		The C/Fortran-based user-level extensions as well as the extensibility via the third party software will be supported in the encapsulated, ``coarse-grain'' modular form similar to the AVS/Explorer model (see Section 17.2.7).
		The type extension model is based on the inheritance forest and it was discussed in Section 17.2.3.

	Extensibility Models (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Extensibility through integration I like to think, that integration is also extensibility, you can make an application do more, by integrating another application into it.
		This is not true extensibility, the application is not doing more, you actually created a new abstract program that combine the features of many programs, but if one pogram is an obvious host, then we can easily pretend that this is extensibility
		Extensibility through parametrization Modifying the default behavior of an application, can bew viewed as an extensibility mechanism, this is usually done, by provided parameters to almost every aspect of the program, nothing is hard coded.

	Somasegar's WebLog : Application Extensibility (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In the Developer Division, we offer extensibility in Visual Studio, through the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program and the Visual Studio Automation Object Model.
		Offering a platform solution that enables you to offer.Net extensibility in your applications is a critical feature we have been working on for some time.
		If you plan to offer extensibility in your product, or you want to extend an existing application and you are interested in dynamic components, version resilience, isolation, and unloadability in managed code, then you should look into the System Add-in model.

	Extensibility (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		This set of type must be extensible in the following sense: there is a means to define new types and there is no distinction in usage between system defined and user defined types.
		Of course, there might be a strong difference in the way system and user defined types are supported by the system, but this should be invisible to the application and to the application programmer.
		However, we do not require that the collection of type constructors (tuples, sets, lists, etc.) be extensible.

	BUG: VBA6 Extensibility Library Breaks Code Written for VBA5 Extensibility Library
		On computers that have both the VBA5 Extensibility library (vbeext1.olb) and the VBA6 Extensibility library (vbe6ext.olb), cross-process automation of the VBA5 Extensibility Object Model fails.
		This problem only affects applications writing to the VBA5 Extensibility Model, and not the VBA6 Extensibility Model.
		This problem is caused by changes in the type information of the Extensibility Library between VBA5 and VBA6.

		The object-oriented approach: Write a framework in terms of abstract entities (simulation objects, windows, etc) and let individual applications specialize the framework by subclassing and method overriding.
		OOP is useful for other reasons, but it is essential to provide this sort of ``top-down'' extensibility.
		It is no wonder, then, that the first two OOP lamguages were designed for applications that require top-down extensibility.
