Ok, we are misunderstanding each other. Here is some code to be clear.
This is what i want the interfaces to look like:
DataStoreInfo {
String getURI();
}
DublinCoreInfo extends DataStoreInfo {
String getTitle();
String getPublsiher();
String getSchema();
}

I dont understand what his means.

I disagree. I think supplementing the classes we have with generics will
be more clear than introducing 5 new classes, and 5 new inhieretence
relationships.

Sorry, but a deadline is no excuse to crap all over the api. I would
rather if people have these sorts of deadlines they hack outside of
public api. And for deadlines I assume you mean gabriel and the wfs
datastore for the fgdc project. One of the main reasons topp applied for
funding was to get complex features on trunk the *right* way. We want to
deliver something soon but not if it means screwing up our data access
api more then it already is.
