[tinyTiM-discuss] Connecting tinyTiM with TMShare

[Lars H. <he...@se...>]

Hi all,

While working on Atomico <http://atomico.googlecode.com/> I wondered
if it would make sense to implement a TopicMapSystem for tinyTiM which
works upon TMShare. The first implementation would be read-only, I
guess.

Something like:

    tmSysFactory.setFeature(
                      "http://tinytim.sf.net/feature/tmShare",
                      "http://iri.which.points.to.a.tmshare.overview");

    TopicMapSystem tmSys = tmSysFactory.newTopicMapSystem();

    for (Locator loc: tmSys.getLocators()) {
        System.out.println(loc);  // Prints out the available topic
                                  // maps at the specified server
    }

    TopicMap tm = tmSys.getTopicMap(loc);

    tmSys.createTopicMap(loc2); ---> Exception, the tmSys is read-only


The topic map and the system could also be writable but there wouldn't
be any synchronisation with the TMShare server (at least not in the
initial version).
    
Thoughts?
    
Best regards,
Lars
