this UC seems to express some of the ideas/requirements of AR-2 in less technical terms - good! even though I find the usage of "Content Management" in the title a bit misleading - I guess most people out there they use the term CMS talking about a system offering either PULL and PUSH functionality (e.g. most DBMS existing today). Where the latter seems out of scope from our DAWG charter - http://www.w3.org/2003/12/swa/dawg-charter#update cheers Alberto On Mar 19, 2004, at 8:52 AM, Patrick Stickler wrote: > > > A knowledge provider maintains descriptions about a large number > of resources, and manages those descriptions in a distributed > manner, such that the sum total knowledge known about a given > resource may be expressed and managed in several distinct > documents, which may be independently retrieved by GET. > > A client submits a query/request for a description of a resource > from the knowledge provider, and in response is provided a > complete description of that resource which in no way reflects > the internal, distributed, fragmented content management > infrastructure employed by the knowledge provider. > > -- > > I.e. clients shouldn't have to know about specific RDF/XML instances, > models, databases, stores, records, or how they are organized, > partitioned, or where located, etc. in order to submit a query of > any kind per the DAWG recommendation. > > Queries should be completely agnostic to all aspects of storage > and management of the knowledge in question. > > If a knowledge provider wishes to provide explicit access to > a specific body of knowledge as expressed in a specific, single > RDF/XML instance, fine, but that is an implementational detail > of which the client should remain totally ignorant insofar as > the machinery specified by the DAWG recommendation is concerned. > > -- > > Patrick Stickler > Nokia, Finland > patrick.stickler@nokia.com
