Identifiers In Kepler

Difference between version 13 and version 10:

Line 5 was replaced by line 5
- The main goals of the file-management subsystem are listed below. We use the term "Kepler item" loosely below to refer to actors, workflows, and data sets, and "annotations" to refer to metadata or semantic descriptions. The subsystem should provide the infrastructure for enabling scientists to:

We use the term "Kepler item" loosely below to refer to actors, workflows, and data sets, and "annotations" to refer to metadata (like EML) and semantic descriptions.

Line 15 was replaced by line 15
- The figure below outlines the architectural components of the subsystem. We treat annotations and Kepler items uniformly below. That is, the management subsystem does not have separate storage components for managing annotations and items. The subsystem assumes the use of [Life-Sciences Identifiers|http://www.i3c.org/wgr/ta/resources/lsid/docs/index.asp] (LSIDs) as logical identifiers items and annotations. (QUESTION: and also for local "libraries" -- do these need to be stored in the EcoGrid, e.g.?). Thus, relevant files are assigned LSIDs and are accessed via LSIDs. We assume that an LSID will store the type of file (e.g., the type of annotation, or the type of Kepler item) associated with the ID.

At line 34 added 3 lines.
+ Another feature that we may consider is support for change management. In particular, when a file within the subsystem is changed, a notification can be cached/stored of the change, for use by components within Kepler. (Isn't there already a change api in Kepler; and can we piggy-back on this?)
