[MOBY-dev] Can't deregister services originally registered through methods, then converted to RDF

[Frank Gibbons]

Hi Eddie.

Yeah, I know that I'm not supposed to be able to remove a service through 
the API if I have a signature URL. But that sort of assumes that there's an 
agent looking for RDF at the signature URL, and continuously updating the 
service registry. It's not meant to be that you can *never* remove a 
service that has a signature URL, right? I guess you meant that if it has a 
signature URL in the database, then it's not supposed to be deletable - 
well, it's still the same situation for me, since I don't think I can 
change the signature URL in the database, once the service is registered.

Anyway, as per Mark's recent message, I'd really appreciate it if you could 
remove the signature URL for the following services:

ASimpleService
YAService
DBI_CSV

The authority is llama.med.harvard.edu They're all in the default registry. 
If I understand correctly, once you delete the signature URL from the 
database, then I should be able to delete them using the Perl API function 
call - correct? That would be awsome.

Thanks a lot,

-Frank
