Hi Pete,
I'm not against the idea, but the case for it would have to be pretty
strong. By this I mean:
- will it simplify the application code or reduce any of the barriers to
installation?
- will it provide functionality not currently available that is deemed
important to the community?
We would also need to address who would provide the code. I could not
commit to this between now and year-end, so the source would have to be
contributed.
Best Regards,
harry

Harry,
Any thoughts about supporting SPARQL?
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/proto-wd/
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
