Message Flows for Connector to Metadata Broker Communication

  • of an exemplary Broker self-description document,

  • , Unregistering and Updating a Connector at the Broker,

  • the content of the Broker, i.e., the registered self-description documents.

  • on registered Broker self-descriptions (optional).

Figure 1: Interaction sequences with a Metadata Broker

Publication

The Metadata Broker, as any other IDS Connector, publishes a Self-Description that can be requested by Connectors:

Implementations:

List of Implementations

Registering

Both IDS Connector and IDS Resource Self-Descriptions can be registered at the Metadata Broker. Note that a Metadata Broker must only accept Connector Self-Descriptions if the described Connector is identical with the sender Connector.

Implementations:

List of Implementations

Update

Previously registered Self-Descriptions can be updated at the Metadata Broker. Note that a PUT semantics is used as the default mechanism for updates. This means, that the old Self-Descriptions are completely overwritten by the newly received ones. Similar to registrations, usually Connectors can only update their own Self-Descriptions.

Implementations:

List of Implementations

Unregistering

Previously registered Self-Descriptions can be unregistered at the Metadata Broker.

Implementations:

List of Implementations

Querying

The Metadata Broker provides at least one query endpoint, which is able to handle complex, express queries. The query language of the IDS is SPARQL.

Implementations:

List of Implementations
Comment

The IDS REST Binding does not provide any complex query mechanisms. Instead, it expects that the Client Connector traverse through the offered Web Resources using a series of single requests. See the other Protocol Bindings for query capabilities.

Search

A Metadata Broker allows the search through a frontend UI, providing at least full-text and facet search capabilities for human users.

Implementations:

Comment

Full-text, facet, and other kinds of UI-based search is not intended via IDS protocols and therefore appears only on the frontend. The IDS does not make any specifications how such features must be implemented.
