Hi Andreas,
> One approach I have had in mind would split a date range 2012-03-30 – 2014-05-22 into several segments which can be cached:
> 2012-10-30 (whole day)
> 2012-10-31
> 2012-11 (whole month)
That seems like a very good idea indeed, and it brings us to something broader.
There'e essentially two things that we could do:
1) Define a new Linked Data Fragments type [1],
which allows to select objects of type date by day/month/year.
2) Define something like LDF features or traits.
i.e., define "support for granular date selection" as a feature,
and an LDF server dynamically indicates (with hypermedia controls)
that it supports date-based selection.
Option 2) has a lot of potential in my view,
because then a server can combine different features/traits,
such as full-tex search and date search.
However, it is also the option that involves most work to implement:
- a way to describe features
- a way for clients to discover and use those features
Best,
Ruben
