[Esip-discovery] Notification of next ESIP Discovery Telecon 1:00pm PST / 4:00pm EST tomorrow

[Ruth Duerr]

Hi Doug,

I’ve got a list of potential improvements to the OpenSearch spec/best practices that we ought to discuss though some are also recommendations for web service documentation in general.  See below…

Ruth

Currently, there is no way to tell whether an open search end point is describing a data set search or a granule search or what.  There needs to be a way to state that (naming practices just don’t work).  A parameter could do this or some other extension would be needed.  It would need to handle generic well-defined parameters so it could be validated with standard XML tooling (namespacing a substring within an attribute is not a safe long-term solution). At that point, we ought to define an exemplar for the nested search. 

OSDD rel link references should be included in any child OSDD throughout any OSDD hierarchy, so that traveling both up and down the hierarchy is possible and easy.

Put the parent OSDD rel link in the ATOM result set (rss is an issue). Basic provenance. Just part of the feed metadata before the item list. 

Recommend ATOM. 

Make some recommendations for semantic markup in the result set content. Commonplace practice is to encode that as HTML so let's take advantage of that and include rel tags for dataset, landing page, etc, and schema.org <http://schema.org/> tags if that's still of use. We have, I think, been neglecting the utility of the search response to everyone (crawler, broker, person at a keyboard) and that is, frankly, the place where we actually get an understanding of data/no data. So let's make it useful.

We need some structure to support enumerations/controlled vocabs per parameter and an understanding of how these work with the optional/required parameters. 

Also, shouldn’t each web service like this have a unique identifier? What is a unique identifier for an OpenSearch? For a dataset OpenSearch?

Lastly, shouldn't the best practice include having these service links on a data set’s landing page?
