[MOBY-dev] [moby] gbrowse_moby at mobycentral

[Mark Wilkinson]

The current gbrowse_moby filters services based on the "isAlive" tag
that is added to the MOBY Central copy of the RDF Signature.  Eddie will
confirm, since I haven't tested this, but I believe that you can get
this RDF metadata as one of the two ports that is provided to you by the
LSID Authority server when you attempt to resolve a service instance
LSID (one port is the address of the RDF document owned by the service
provider,and the other is the RDF document as generated by MOBY Central
containing various other metadata)

isAlive is generated every hour by a cron that sends a "ping" to the
service (as defined in earlier threads - an empty <mobyContent> tag) -
it it gets the expected response (an empty <mobyContent> block) then it
"isAlive=true", anything else sets "isAlive=false".

So... does your service respond correctly to the ping?

This is getting further and further from my own knowledge, since it is
largely Eddie now that looks after all MOBY code...

"Since the point of a definition is to explain the meaning of a term to
   someone who is unfamiliar with its proper application, the use of
language that doesn't help such a person learn how to apply the term is
 pointless. Thus, "happiness is a warm puppy" may be a lovely thought,
                     but it is a lousy definition."
