[MOBY-dev] data by reference - a request for comments

[Edward Kawas]

Hi Martin,

Don't worry about Taverna! Whatever we decide will most likely be the same
amount of work. So let's just get it right.

Thank you for all your comments. We need to move on, however. I am, almost
impatiently, waiting for a conclusion because I need to implement the
"data-by-reference" rather soon. Are there other people preparing/building
their comments - so we should wait for them, or can I summarize what was
said so far - and create an official "RFC" from it?

My personal opinion is still on the side to have references only for
primitives. I am not convinced by the Peter's vision of a huge collection
that is too big even when it uses references. I am simply trying to find a
solution that will be good for the most cases - and then deal with the
marginal cases separately (like by designing the service differently).

I would like to hear also Eddie's voice - because he knows how easy or hard
it would be to make the way we decide to do the "data-by-reference" in
Taverna (and I am still talking about the T1 which I expect to be supported
for some time).

Martin
