Re: Creation of Containers

hi, 

for intro : my name is jürgen jakobitsch, i'm a software developer
mainly concerned with linked data applications. i'm the developer of
things like webIDRealm [1], tuqs [2] and one of the developers of skos
server poolparty [3]. a while ago i switched to linked data only
(besides some applications) with my own domain, an example resource can
be seen here [4]. a sample webpage based on that server can be seen here
[5], it is basically only javascript and sparql. back then i was
starting to implement the graph-store-protocol [6], but switched to
changesets only for manipulating data.


now just a short comment on LDPC :

this discussion looks a lot like => application development <= to me.
i'm pretty sure there's reason these containers came to be and i don't
want to confuse anybody or start discussions again, that long have been
dealt with, but wouldn't it be better when dealing with a spec to define
a way a ld-server can be extended? with my server i have the possibility
of what i call http-plugins that intercept http-requests and do
something. there are many ways this can be used, think of the following
http-plugins : 
- indexer-plugin (a http-plugin, that indexes data to a lucene index)
- monitoring-plugin (a http-plugin for, you guessed, does monitoring of
the most important resources)
- ping-back-plugin (sends ping-backs to interested parties about
resource-updates, you could for example subscribe to certain resources
and be notified if these change)

if there was a generic way of extending an ldp's behaviour in certain
situations, ldp-containers would just be one implementation of such an
extension.

just a thought...
