[DAS] [Fwd: Re: Writeback implementation]

[Gustavo Salazar]

Hello,

I'm glad to find people interested in my plans.
I started reviewing the RNC schemas for the writeback and in an overall 
view of this document i have found several differences with the Asia's 
implementation. I have read the discussion about it in her theses and i 
started to implement the parser as that implementation. However I start 
to think that maybe i should follow those schemas that are part of the 
DAS/2 specification, but then it implies an extra effort about 
compatibility with DAS/1.53 and DAS/2 now reading Gregg's last email 
sounds more feasible that approach, ans then I will start to upgrade my 
parsing to use the syntax of the schema. Perhaps I will use the same 
approach of Asia about atomic writeback document(just one task for 
document) just to keep it simple.
As I said in my first email my actual goal is the writeback client 
implementation, which obviously is impossible without a server 
implementation and that's why now I am focus in the server side. 
Therefore any kind of help to reach this purpose is more than welcome.  
Honestly, i don't want to invest more than a month in the server side, 
given that i suspect all the issues that i will have in the GUI of such 
a system, specially that the client that I choose to extent with the 
writeback capabilities is Dasty and given that is a web client the 
visualization challenges will be very interesting.
Dasty is a DAS/1.53 client, then for my purposes the transformation 
MyDAS->DAS2 doesn't sounds necessary to me (so far, amybe i need to 
rethink about it), however the other direction DAS2->MyDAS is mandatory. 
I will start to work on it soon, but first I will have a look in the 
Trellis/Ivy code to see what can i use from there ;-)
Anyway, thanks for the ideas Gregg and I will be happy to collaborate 
with you if you decide to work on the MyDAS<-->Trellis integration.

Cheers,

Gustavo.
