Quaternions -- versus vectors -- have gone out of style a century ago, shortly after Willard Gibbs invented vectors in c 1905.. And yet, they have great elegance. Here, we attempt a revival. In the mid 1950's, this author had employed quaternions to design an antenna, completely mystifying his colleagues.

I asked the person I share an office with `who thought up vectors?' and his reply was `I don't know, but when I find him....' :-) ... You were saying that you didn't know who invented vectors; I do, for some reason, so I thought I'd share :) ... So basically, Gibbs invented Vectors. I hope this helps.

So, we invented the Entity-Relationship model (only to discover that somebody had already invented it much earlier) and we started building an engine which could manage in the most neutral way entities, relationship between entities and tags and make them available to our WYSIWYG page layout tools.
