Leslie, I'd like to know how you see URAs fitting into object brokers. While not claiming to have a full understanding of object brokers, they are meant to be independent entities on ANOTHER system (possibly) that goes out and finds the object in question. I believe the URN/URC resolution service that we have been batting around lo these many months would be an object broker here, and no doubt there could be others. It would seem, based on the discussions I see elsewhere, that object brokers should be part of your model. I would also like to know how you see URAs working with emerging object-oriented compound document specs such as OpenDoc. Again, my understanding is imcomplete on OpenDoc and its kin, but I believe that these too will have object brokers as part of their model. -- Dirk Herr-Hoyman <hoymand@gate.net> | I tried to contain myself CyberBeach Publishing | but * Internet publishing services | I got out Lake Worth, Florida, USA | Web: http://www.gate.net/cyberbeach/ Phone: +1.407.540.8309
