SUMMARYWeb APIs are offered in many Web sites for Ajax and mashup, but they have been developed independently since no reusable database component has been specifically created for Web applications. In this paper, we propose WapDB, a distributed database management system for the rapid development of Web applications. WapDB is designed on Atom, a set of Web API standards, and provides several of the key features required for Web applications, including efficient access control, an easy extension mechanism, and search and statistics capabilities. By introducing WapDB, developers are freed from the need to implement these features as well as Web API processing. In addition, its design totally follows the REST architectural style, which gives uniformity and scalability to applications. We develop a proof-of-concept application with WapDB, and find that it offers great cost effectiveness with no significant impact on performance; in our experiments, the development cost is reduced to less than half with the overhead (in use) of response times of just a few msec. key words: Web API, database management system, REST

“…Apple also used religious language to describe the faith and zeal of their most devoted customers, customer evangelists. These devotees used their own resources to create Macintosh User Groups, or MUGS, to support each other, enjoy the product and bring more Apple users into the fold (Kawasaki, 1991;Shelly & Shelly, 2008). Although they were not the first customer evangelists (Rao, 2002), they were the first to be acknowledged using religious monikers.…”

“…Members of the Apple consumer collective remain a volunteer missionary sales force, using their leisure time and social contacts promoting Apple products to others, warning them away from competitors, providing technical support and amplifying the Apple brand image at no cost to Apple Computer itself (Belk & Tumbat, 2005;Kawasaki, 1991;Muñiz & O'Guinn, 2001). These "Macheads" kept Apple alive through difficult periods (Kawasaki, 2004;Shelly & Shelly, 2008).…”

Communitas and civitas: an idiographic model of consumer collectives

Variously called consumer collectives, subcultures of consumption, brand communities, consumer tribes and brand cults, consumer collectivism is a rising area of interest in scholarly and industry circles. This paper develops an idiographic conceptual model for consumer religiosity, specifically those who worship/consume in groups.Producers enjoy the positive market leverage consumer collectives can provide. Collectives develop, maintain and promulgate rituals, traditions, myths and consumption behaviours. These collectives recruit new users, provide peer support, reinforce the choice to consume the brand and promote the brand to outsiders. Some collectives produce and engage in product/brand-related events, festivals and promotions. Generally self-generating and self-sustaining, the collectives do so with little support from the producers ().The model's foundation derives from the work of the American philosopher James Carse. Carse explicates the relationship between churches and their congregations, with the intent of parsing religions from belief systems. The communitas/civitas model presented in this paper uses principles derived from his work. A postmodern worldview underpins the civitas/communitas model, accounting for the role of consumption as a means of identity formation and self-actualisation. The marketing-specific servicedominant logic paradigm strengthens the model by pinpointing value creation. The model describes marketing in a Carsean fashion, as an infinite game, and then expands on the interaction of the communitas (the collective) with the civitas (the producer), using principles derived from philosophy and religion. The model delineates the relationships between producers and consumer collectives, and draws parallels between consumer religiosity and spiritual religiosity. These parallels reveal a rich and deep understanding of how to manage and leverage these relationships.
