Hi
For Fedora3.3, it seems we just want to duplicate the methods in the
SOAP interface, but there are room for improvement, perhaps in a later
version.
Here are some ideas I have been thinking on.
OBJECTS
* GET /objects/{pid} - gets some presentation of the object like
objectprofile today
* PUT /objects/{pid} - Create a new object, with no content, and
default values
* DELETE /objects/{pid} - purge the object
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/label - read/write the object label
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/state - read/write the object state
* GET /objects/{pid}/datastreams - get a list of the datastreams IDs
* GET /objects/{pid}/contentmodels - Get the content models of the
object
* POST /objects/{pid}/contentmodels/{cmid} - Add a content model to the
object
RELATIONS
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/relations - read/write the content of the
RELS-EXT datastream
* PUT/DELETE /objects/{pid}/relations/{relationname}/to/{objID} -
add/delete relation
DATASTREAMS
* PUT/DELETE /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID} read/write the contents of
a datastream
* GET /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties - get the properties
in some format
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/label -
read/write the label of the datastream
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/versionable
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/state
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/checksum
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/mimetype
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/formatURI
* GET/POST /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/relations -
read/write the content of the RELS-INT datastream specific to this
datastream
*
PUT/DELETE
/objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/relations/{relationname}/to/{objID}
- add/delete relation
* GET /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/versions - list of
versions
* GET /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/versions/{datetime}
- get the contents of the datastream at the datetime
*
GET /objects/{pid}/datastreams/{dsID}/properties/versions/{datetime}/properties
- get the properties in some format
and so on like above
This would provide a, in my view, intuitive interface to Fedora. Every
property is reachable with a simple URL, nothing should require parsing
of output. Objects can be created without ingest, and populated.
Contentmodels become easily reachable through the interface, and
relations
