[MOBY-dev] RDF file generation for test registry

[heese at mpiz-koeln.mpg.de]

Hi,

these are 3 questions for Eddie, but the answers might be interesting for
others, that's why I post it to the whole list.

I'm quite new in the BioMoby business, so I hope my questions havn't been
asked before (at least I didn't find anything).

1. Is there a page available equivalent to
http://mobycentral.icapture.ubc.ca/servlets/forms/getSignatureForm to
create/update an rdf document for services registered in the TestCentral
at (bioinfo.icapture.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/mobycentral/MOBY-Central.pl)?

2. I registered a couple of services at the TestCentral the old way
without giving a RDF signature URL. Now I wanted to deregister them the
old way but it failed since you generated an rdf last week that included
my services. Can you please deregister them, so I can regain control over
them? I will use an RDF file for registration next time, I promise :) ...

3. Is it correct that the "getSignatureForm"-script is only meant to help
people updating their already working Services, i.e. generating an RDF
file for those? And that in future one should generate an RDF file by hand
and then use only the agent to register it? Or will it always be possible
to first register the old way, then use "getSignatureForm" to update the
RDF?

Thanks,
