All of those provide essentially a native AJAXian way of accessing data through a RESTful json interface.

I was thinking about creating the drag and drop interface. At first I thought Java 3D has the capability to create clickable 3D objects. Then I thought one could use jQuery to manipulate html entities to create an interactive editor, even adding psudo-3d abilities. What you probably want, is a fully interactive 3d interface. That can be done via Javascript via O3D a la Google. It give one the ability to import 3D models and let the user interact with them.

I hope that at least helps.

The explosive complexity rules it out. Controlled vocabulary has too many limitations on the other hand. Worst case it would be like choosing tags from a menu of all used tags. If you really want to, maybe suggestive search would be a successful UI model. Would it take Googltastic infrastructure to pull that off, though? Suggestions based on typing could be helpful in collapsing terms for similar prototype ideas. Suggested synonyms would be helpful there too. Get the users to help prune the name space during creation maybe.

Solutions: #2: I once saw something like this in Smalltalk, ca. 1994. A visual relational OO db. It was really cool, as easy as editing in old-school hypertext systems such as Storyspace. Object-node-containers and named links.
