Subject: Re: [search-ws] RE: content-type for Zeerex/Explain
I agree in principle but maybe not with the specifics. ;) > All Atom data is passed with the media type of application/atom+xml. Doesn't Atom specify a single schema but with two entry points (i.e. Feed and Entry)? But I do think that one media type is more than enough for SRU. Let's face it anyway, any application that knows what application/sru+xml is will know how to distinguish between 1) explain, 2) searchRetrieve, and 3) scan. I note also that we're talking about difference between explain and searchRetrieve. But whatever happened to scan? Is that also supposed to be in the response schema (as used to be). In fact, didn't srw-types.xsd already have multiple entry points for explain/searchRetrieve/scan? And we don't really want a proliferatiopn of SRU media types. Who would ever get around to using them all? ;) Btw, I note that OpenSearch has one media type for description and none for responses because it does not define any native responses. So the fact that the descriotion doc and response types have different media types isn't really an issue.
