Tobias, Any chance you can devote an extra half hour to the end of the next tuesday meeting to walk those of us interested through the episode service? Thought in particular it might be nice to address:
- diagram data flow in adobe connect whiteboards - should a workflow operation handler use its local copy of metadata from the media package, or a stub that points to the remote episode service instead? The latter would let it update/change/add/remove values nice and transparently - should i add arbitrary metadata to the episode and save it there? e.g. if I want someone to be able to see the video that has been published on itunes, should I add some metadata about that to the episode service so we could link it from uis? Thoughts welcome on list, I just figure that this service might be fairly pivotal, as it essentially wraps something we've been using as a data structure (media package) into an active process. We are working on some archival features right now for our local install, and I'd like to make sure they work well with the episode service (In particular, the episode service should continue to work without access to the raw media streams, since I want to move them off to tape after the first set of processing. But the metadata needs to persist for future workflows, which might include emailing instructors a URL, changing permissions at the end of term, etc.).
