Thanks Julian. Your responses were very helpful. I would be curious to know what other issues you forsee with multiple scopes. I had one final question on this issue. From what I have heard so far, it seems like URIs of different schemes (basically ftp, http, etc) are issues. In which case I am wondering if there is any issue if all the URIs are of a particular scheme lets say http? i.e would there be issues if the SEARCH arbiter was asked to search in the scope of http://www.cnn.com and http://news.bbc.co.uk ? In one of your mails you mentioned that I should make a proposal for section 5.4. I was hoping you could provide me some pointers on how I go about doing this. thanks, prakash >From: "Julian Reschke" <julian.reschke@gmx.de> >To: "yamuna prakash" <yamunap@hotmail.com>, ><julian.reschke@gmx.de>,<www-webdav-dasl@w3.org> >Subject: RE: draft-reschke-webdav-search-05 - a few questions on the draft >Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 11:00:52 +0200 > > > > From: www-webdav-dasl-request@w3.org > > [mailto:www-webdav-dasl-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of yamuna prakash > > Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 10:48 AM > > To: julian.reschke@gmx.de; www-webdav-dasl@w3.org > > Subject: RE: draft-reschke-webdav-search-05 - a few questions on the > > draft > > > > > > > > Indeed I was mixing issues because my pitch was basically, if basic >search > > required that the server be able to handle different property schemas in >a > > single scope then the issues that crop up with multiple scopes would be >the > > same. > >Well, I'd say there'll be more issues. > > > From your mail I gather that this may not be the case. > > > > One of the issues you mention with multiple scopes is the fact that the > > persistence layers maybe different.
