to everybody:
We are modeling our new, better version of gnowsis integration.
introduction: an adpater is a thing that converts existing metadata to RDF. see adapter javadoc
The questions are
– how to access adapters
– how does a adapter publish its metadata. Metadata of adapters are: What data do I contain?
– how to implement adapters (we have much experience from adapting outlook and mp3 and other stuff like imap)
– what messages should be passed back and forth?
our answers ´would be:
we call them adapters.
adapters are accessed through xml/rpc, soap, or pure http.
adapters publish their metadata as RDF model, rdf/xml
adapters can be implemented in any language, as long as they speak some http-speak.
messages would be RDQL and ChattyBoundedDescriptions
please send feedback to me:
