---+ 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.
