Hi,

I'm using the fedora REST API to get the next PID such as:

/fedora/objects/nextPID?format=xml

However each time I call this service it increments the PID by 1.  I would like 
to just see the next PID, without it incrementing, such that if I call it 
multiple times it return the same next PID.  Is there any functionality that 
behaves this way?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi, Luis.

I think that by now lots of people are exposing their fedora collections 
through various mobile technologies. Are you asking about developing a 
purpose-built iOS or Andriod app for interfacing with fedora? Or just whether 
there is any way to expose fedora collections via mobile devices?

I've heard the idea of an iOS fedora app discussed during downtime at 
conferences. I even took a swing at it as a demo project for an iOS course I 
took, but since it was only a two day course I didn't get very far.

In the past when I've discussed the idea with colleagues, I've been unable to 
justify to myself the amount of effort that would be involved in developing and 
bringing to market an iOS or Android app versus the idea of, say, developing a 
proper theming system for Blacklight/Hydra and then developing a mobile theme. 
That would solve more use cases, serve a larger portion of our users, and would 
be more adaptable over time as standards and browser technology evolve. Plus we 
wouldn't have a separate software stack to keep integrated, a concern when we 
start needing compiled applications for various mobile platforms. I know that 
people have experimented with both Blacklight and Hydra as mobile front ends 
for fedora, but to the best of my knowledge all of these are locally-built 
solutions, not something that would be easily re-distributable.

Come to think of it, given Drupal's robust mobile theming system, I bet you 
could put a fedora-backed mobile app together with Islandora pretty quickly too.

Can you tell us more about what you're thinking about, Luis? What's the project 
you had in mind?

Cheers,
Bess
