No specific platform - my thoughts would be that this is 100% API driven - 
i.e. when the user loads this application, it determines what shapes (for 
example) are available (e.g. our appication informs via JSON that the user 
can use object1, object2 and object3) within the palette for the user to 
use and as each shape is dropped onto a canvas its position, size and 
connections to other objects are sent back to APIs on the server (which we 
would have written to conform to the spec of the tool)and that data is 
stored in our own database.

The (albeit fledgling) idea was to enable us to present those objects 
within our application that a user is able to configure (e.g. a process 
step being linked to an email) in a graphical manner. The number of types 
of object would be very small (maybe 5).

Not sure if this clarifies?

Thanks
