Hi all, 

A few changes to announce for the 0.86 API (this is not yet running on the
production server):

1)  *all* parameters going into a service must now be named (currently using the
articleName attribute of the Simple/Collection/Parameter tag, but I want to
migrate this to componentName if possible)

2)  Inheritence from primitive classes is now forbidden and this is enforced by
the MOBY Central code.

3)  Collections may now only contain one type of Simple (I don't think anyone
uses it any other way, so no worries)

4)  a new method "retrieveResourceURLs" has been added to the API that provides
you with a list of the URLs from which you can retrieve the RDF versions of all
of the ontologies.

I will be moving the production server to the new codebase next week sometime.

Cheers!

M
