[MOBY-dev] Fixing local RDF metadata

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi all,

I noticed a little while ago that Moby Central is including the isAlive  
tag in the metadata that it presents to the service provider when they  
register their service.  This is bad!  The service provider is not  
supposed to know if their service is alive or not (from the perspective of  
the Registry) so they shouldn't have that tag in their metadata.

Eddie has just fixed the Moby Central code so that it doesn't do this  
anymore, but in order to fix your metadata you would need to remove the  
isAlive tag from each of your service instances.

I did that using a perl in-place edit as follows:

  perl -pi.bak -e "s/<mygrid:isAlive>\w+<\/mygrid:isAlive>//g" *.rdf

It's probably worth doing, so that your local metadata doesn't over-rule  
what the registry says the alive/dead state of your service is.

Cheers!

M
