[Ref-Links] RFC: IDEAL Objects Demonstrator






I'm putting out an IDEAL Objects Demonstrator for general comment which
demonstrates the "linkage" of "objects" identified on IDEAL.  The actual
"linkage" is managed through the handle system using mutiple resolution on a
local handle service, although the "objects" themselves are described in an
out-of-band XML repository. (Mechanism used is to store XPointers as handle
values to address into the XML for immediate related "objects" and for current
"object" description.) 5 journals are currently registered in this demo. To
navigate the "object" space you might start off from here say (the DOI for an
issue on IDEAL which is mapped onto the local handle service)


http://www2.harcourt-international.com/ideal/object.cgi?10.1006/bbrc.v232.i003

(Note that none of the "object" children are known to the handle system, only
the means to query the XML repoitory which thus enables the service to respond
with dynamical solutions.) The journal here "Biochemical and Biophysical
Research Communications" has some 14,500 articles registered.)

Interested in any feedback.

Tony
