Discussion of the VOSpace 1.1 specification

This is a discussion page for the VOSpace 1.1 service specification.

VOSpace data model

• Should capabilities only exist on the ContainerNode?

Inheritable properties

• If a property is also declared on a child, which value takes priority?
• How are properties registered as inheritable?

Container views

• What are the names of the children nodes (for a container format that is imported to a container node)?
• Are the children nodes Structured_/_UnstructuredDataNodes?
• What is the default and is this settable?
• How does the service identify what it considers to be archive formats?

Capabilities

• What members other than uri and endpoint should a Capability have, e.g. param to specify additional arguments that might be required for access?

Web service operations

getCapabilities

• Do we want this operation?

createNode

• Do we need both a LinkFound and a ContainerNotFound exception or does the latter work for both cases?

findNodes

• Are wildcards allowed in the property URIs - find me all nodes where any property matches this regular expression?

pushToVoSpace

• If a Node already exists at the target URI and it is a ContainerNode, should it be overwritten by the target Node or should the target Node become a chld of the ContainerNode? This also applies to pullToVoSpace.
