RE: [cmis] CMIS stored query?

[Derek W Carr <dwcarr@us.ibm.com>]

I am interested in expanding this support.  In our implementation of CMIS
in Lotus Connections, we use this feature to advertise system queries like
files shared with me, files shared by me, trash, etc.  which were
equivalent to virtual folders in our system.  We chose to make the results
of the GET operation be a list of virtual folders that clients could
navigate like any other folder using the 'down' link relation to get the
results.  We do not yet have a need to persist new queries, but we would
like to see the domain model introduce better support for getting system
managed queries.

Thanks,

I am certainly interested in the virtual folder model, also search
templates / parameterized queries.

I'm interested.  It'd be a useful feature and would provide better support
for taxonomy-driven systems.
I think supporting search templates / parameterized queries would be pretty
important.

Any interest in allowing POST to a stored query?  Say, for example, if the
atom entry returned for a given stored query has the
<cmis:allowsPost>true</cmis:allowsPost>
property, then the client can post an object to the query's entry URL.  The
server will create an object with metadata that matches the query.
The use case I have in mind is virtual folders:  I want the virtual folder
backed by my stored query to act like a real folder and let me
drag-and-drop content into it.

Here is a paragraph in the REST binding documentation that hints at a
nascent stored query capability in CMIS:

This is a collection for processing queries. If the implementation supports
GET on this collection, then the implementation SHOULD at least return a
feed consisting of zero or more atom entries. These atom entries should
represent persisted objects related to query such as persisted queries,
long running queries or search templates.

Does anyone else have an interest in incorporating this (as an optional
capability) into the domain model, e.g.:
·         getQuery,
·         createQuery,
·         deleteQuery
·         updateQuery
·         query object supported in query

My interest in this is mostly about having shared navigational shortcuts,
for example a stored query of my favorite documents which I can access both
from my Desktop client and my mobile device client.
