[MOBY-l] Versioning of Moby objects

[Ola Spjuth]

Hi,

We in the Bioclipse project (www.bioclipse.net) are working for as  
much Moby interoperability as possible in our next version. As  
Bioclipse is a workbench where people can download and edit  
resources, we had an interesting discussion today how Moby objects  
(with ID and NAMESPACE) are treated with respect to modifications.  
Let's say I download a sequence from Genbank, and store it on my  
local computer. The question was how a modification to this resource  
should be handled. We considered having some sort of flag for this,  
or maybe a 'revision' or 'version' parameter, but wanted to hear your  
view on this matter.

I'd also like to make a humble request that someone elaborated on the  
use of LSID in Moby, and related this to the REST approach when it  
comes to services, resources, and versioning of these.

Cheers,

    .../Ola
