I am currently working on it. We are planning to have it publicly accessible by the Brussels meeting in June.
Thanks for sharing your ideas on the type registry. Sounds like you have lots of goodies planned.
One question must be: When? Can you give us any idea on the likely timeframe
when we might see some of these pieces being introduced?
I agree with you that what URL type "means" is at best confusing at worst misleading. It shouldFor example, I note that in the 0.TYPE/URL record you have added the XML description fairly recently (see below).
Btw, I must confess to not having understood your last comment about my
question on needing to qualify URL types:
The 0.TYPE/URL?index=2 is there at the moment only because that is one of the types that the proxy knows howAgreed and the handle value type description, in the case of value by
reference, separates the reference from the
value type.
As an illustration the hdl:0.TYPE/URL?index=2 value suffers exactly this
problem. So the value is a URL, so what? What does that "mean"? That is,
what's at the end of the reference?
