Hi Felix, > For some formats like XMP we have no open source > implementation of functionality like setting metadata. FYI, we started discussing setting functionality, but as we came up with a number of complicated issues we restricted the discussion to getting functionality for the first draft of the API. > That > is, we cannot easily incoroporate references to (non-open > source) implementations as a normative part of our API spec. > I see various ways out of the problem: > > 1) Do not describe the functionality in question (e.g. > setting of property X) for these formats > 2) Do not describe low level API access at all, for all formats > 3) Describe low level API access only for formats which are > open, i.e. XML- or RDF-based. In my understanding the API specification defines the functions for accessing all our properties, i.e. the input/output parameters and the expected behaviour. This does not include the specification of how to parse/write a certain format. All we specify should be format independent. Some of formats we have considered will be supported by the reference implementations. Anyone can develop own implementations of the API with open or closed libraries for accessing a certain format.
