Harry,
Any thoughts about supporting SPARQL?

I know, it's not fully done yet (and it may be best to wait until it
is).
But it looks like something the registry should support in the medium
term?

Subject: Registry Lite
Dear Registry WG Group,
I've been giving some thought to producing a lightweight version of the
DCMI Metadata Registry. Given the availability of inexpensive memory
and the number of browsers now capable of client-side XML
transformations it seems reasonable to reevaluate the architecture with
a focus on making the application simpler and easier to deploy.
Specifically:
- In-memory processing with no persistence. Data would be loaded at
startup and remain resident.
- REST-only application interface
- Client-side transformation of all output
I think it makes sense to leave the current registry as it is and make
this a spin-off application (registry-lite?). I am interested in
hearing what others think about this idea and if there are any
additional functional requirements that should also be considered.
Best Regards,
Harry Wagner
