A few years back Microsoft had a 'Polyarchy Server' that came with the release of SP1 Beta for Microsoft Identity Integration Services 2003. When the SP was final the Polyarchy Server was taken from it. I never heard of the solution again.
Now I am trying to figure out what technologies to use for creating a webapplication that can show (multiple) intersecting hierarchical trees, and not only display but make ik maintainable as well.
Silverlight is no option. I see things in WPF that uses XAML (HierarchicalDataTemplate) but then this would require ASP.NET MVC to be able to use XAML in ASP.NET (correct?). Or could/would one rather use HTML5/CSS3 and JQuery? Metro's XAML/WinRT but that
is for Windows 8 and not specifically webapps (correct?).
Anyway, what technologies are available from Microsoft to build an ASP.NET webapplication that will present these intersecting hierarchies and make it editable and extendible?
Needless to say I am not a developer myself but I am trying to see what technologies are available for developers.

Hierarchical intersecting trees

Hi,
A few years back Microsoft had a 'Polyarchy Server' that came with the release of SP1 Beta for Microsoft Identity Integration Services 2003. When the SP was final the Polyarchy Server was taken from it. I never heard of the solution again.
See: 'Polyarchy Visualization: Visualizing Multiple Intersecting Hierarchies':

Now I am trying to figure out what technologies to use for creating a webapplication that can show (multiple) intersecting hierarchical trees, and not only display but make ik maintainable as well.

Thank you for your time,
