---++ GUID-1 Homework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
*This page is obsolete - GUID-1 workshop is over!*
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make most out of our first workshop, *we require each participant to read some documents and prepare some material* __before we meet__ in Durham. The *homework* consists of the following tasks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---+++ 1. Review (and update) the GUID Use-Cases
|
||
|
|
Please review the updated inventory of [[GUIDUseCases][GUID Use-Cases]]. Add any use-cases you believe we should discuss during the meeting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---+++ 2. Review GUID technologies
|
||
|
|
Review the basics aspects of each GUID technology under evaluation. Since each participant is likely to be more familiar with one GUID technology, we would like to ask you to *review the basic aspects of other technologies as well*. To facilitate the process, we have prepared a short list of articles (mostly single sections extracted from articles) to get you up to speed (see below). You may also find useful to read the TechnologyComparison page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---++++ 2.1 LSIDs
|
||
|
|
The main source of documentation on LSID is the [[http://www.omg.org/docs/dtc/04-05-01.pdf][LSID Specification]]. Please read the following sections:
|
||
|
|
1. Sections 8 and 8.1 - LSID Syntax and Specification
|
||
|
|
1. Section 9 - LSID Resolution Service
|
||
|
|
1. Section 13.3 - Discovering an LSID Resolution Service using DDDS/DNS
|
||
|
|
You can find LSID related documentation at the [[http://lsid.sourceforge.net/][LSID Homepage]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---++++ 2.2 Handle System
|
||
|
|
The Handle System is documented as a set of [[http://www.ietf.org][IETF]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments][RFCs]]. The *minimal* reading about the Handle System is a set of sections extracted from [[http://www.handle.net/rfc/rfc3651.html][Handle System Namespace and Service Definition - RFC 3651]] below:
|
||
|
|
1. Section 1: Introduction
|
||
|
|
1. Section 2: Handle System Namespace
|
||
|
|
1. Section 3: Handle System Data Model - Read section 3.1 - Handle Value Set only. Skip section 3.2.
|
||
|
|
1. Section 4: Handle System Service Model - Read section 4.1 (you might want to skip the details here). Skip 4.2.
|
||
|
|
1. Section 5: Handle System Operational Model - Read first paragraph only.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That sounds like a lot, but *it is only about 10 pages* (with some nice ASCII art).
|
||
|
|
If you need more context, here is the [[http://www.handle.net/documentation.html][Homepage for the Handle System documentation]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---++++ 2.3 DOI
|
||
|
|
The main source of DOI information is the [[http://www.doi.org/hb.html][DOI Handbook]] or [[http://hdl.handle.net/10.1000/182][doi:10.1000/182]].
|
||
|
|
Here is the required reading:
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/intro.html#1.4][Section 1.4 - What is a Digital Object Identifier?]]
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/intro.html#1.5][Section 1.5 Components of the DOI System]]
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/enumeration.html#2.2][Section 2.2 - The structure of a DOI]]
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/resolution.html#3.2][Section 3.2 - Simple resolution]]
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/resolution.html#3.3][Section 3.3 - Multiple resolution]]
|
||
|
|
1. [[http://www.doi.org/handbook_2000/resolution.html#3.5.1][Section 3.5.1 - Relationship between the DOI System and the Handle System]]
|
||
|
|
Again, it sounds like a lot, but if you read only what is required, *it is only a few paragraphs*.
|
||
|
|
Note that the list of sections above is note a comprehensive description of the DOI System. It just gives the reader an overview about DOI and its differences from the Handle System.
|
||
|
|
For the time challenged I have put these sections into a [[http://biodiv.hyam.net/homework_sections_of_doi_handbook.pdf][single PDF]] (RogerHyam).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---++++ 2.4 General Questions
|
||
|
|
If you plan on arguing in favor of one or another GUID technology, be prepared to answer the following questions:
|
||
|
|
1. How extensible is the technology?
|
||
|
|
1. How does it handle metadata? How extensible the metadata framework is, i.e, how easy it is to implement a new framework on top of the basic infrastructure?
|
||
|
|
1. What are its strangths?
|
||
|
|
1. What are its weakenesses and how can we work around them (i.e., what if DNS or Handle System Global Registry cease to exist? What are our options?)
|
||
|
|
1. Anything else you might find relevant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
---+++ 3. Additional Reading (Optional)
|
||
|
|
|
||

The following documents are relevant for the planned workshop activities, so please read them if you have time (or you run out of things to read):
