[MOBY-dev] RDF file generation for test registry

[heese at mpiz-koeln.mpg.de]

Hi Eddi,
thanks for the answers, I just found them in the archives, since I somehow
kicked myself out of the mailing list trying to switch from digest to
normal mode - but now I'm back in ...

I think it would be a nice feature, since I havn't found another way to
get an RDF for several services in one go (so far I used the dashboard to
register my services & get the RDF).

In fact, I havn't been able to get a valid RDF document for the
TestRegistry at all. When I used the dasboard, the RDF I recieved was
empty (just the RDF-tags). Then I tried to take the detour over the
MobyCentral registry (i.e. I registered the same service there (via
dashboard), got an RDF with content, and tried to use this RDF for the
TestRestigry as well. But since the RDFs for MobyCentralRegistry and
TestRegistry aren't alike (I wasn't aware of that), it obviously didn't
work either. So, what would be the correct way to generate a valid
RDF-document for the Test registry at the moment?

Please remove all services with the authority mpiz-koeln.mpg.de starting
with MH_ from the TestRegistry and if there is another one with the
authority mpiz-koeln.mpg.de that has your RDF signature URL, please remove
that one as well (I'm not at work right now, so I cannot look up the name,
sorry).

Thanks, maren
