Subject: Re: [regrep] V3 Proposal: Namespace Manager Function
Message text written by Farrukh Najmi > David, I think, what Joe is looking for is ability to query based on the content and not the metadata. These content based queries would key off things like namespace declarations and qualifiers within qualified names. This cannot *ever* be done with Filter or SQL queries without support for content based queries. Content based queries would handle this quite well actually. <<<< Farrukh, We know everyone wants that ultimate capability. What I'm saying is that if you just add the namespace URI into the Classification metadata right now as a Note - then you can have this ability. While this is not optimal - its less of a pandoras box than trying to write code to scan schemas and things looking for namespaces and then having the software making assumptions. Since the namespace is often closely linked to "ownership" this should work well with the registeredobject header metadata also as a "cue" - as I'd previously noted - to make the dataentry easy for the users. The key here is people being able to do very useful things right now with V1.0 of Registry - without them thinking there's major holes we've not filled or provided for. I think his use case can be address significantly using V1.0 Registry, and then we'll add extra functionality later as the icing on the cake. Thanks, DW.
