Implementation of POEM object
by Arife Vural 04 May '05

04 May '05

Dear Colleagues, [Apologies for duplicates] Following discussions in the Database Working Group, we have made changes to the whois server software. These are the proposed changes: - Add a new object POETIC-FORM that will contain the supported poem types. - Add a new object POEM that will hold the poem itself. - Add a new attribute "form:" that shows the type of poem. There is more information about this below. You can find more details about the discussion at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2004/msg00246.html We expect to put a new whois server on line with new object support on 2 May 2005 at 16:00 CET. - Add a new POETIC-FORM object: The POETIC-FORM object contains information about the poem type. This is an example of a LIMERICK object: poetic-form: FORM-LIMERICK descr: Poem type for Limerick admin-c: AMR68-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 20050429 source: RIPE These objects will be maintained by RIPE DBM. You can send new POETIC-FORM objects to <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net>. - Add a new POEM object: A POEM object is similar to the LIMERICK object. Unlike the LIMERICK object, it will have a "form:" attribute that contains information about the poem type. This is an example of a simple POEM object: poem: POEM-NT13-1 descr: RIPE24 dinner text: At a RIPE Meeting, held in Berlin, text: The meal was unusual, the din text: Of the two serenades text: Whose repertoire made us text: All smile and want to join in form: FORM-LIMERICK admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE Add a new "form:' attribute: The "form:" attribute indicates the type of poem. - Changes to the default whois query interface: There will be no changes to the whois query interface. - Data transition All existing LIMERICK objects will will be converted to POEM objects. LIMERICK objects will appear in the database for a while, but we will eventually delete them. Here is an example of a LIMERICK object: limerick: LIM-NT13-3 text: The document RIPE-104 text: Goes on longer than ever before text: If you want an address text: And your network's a mess text: Then Daniel will get very sore admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 remarks: Great limerick, but the draft document RIPE-104++ remarks: is now called RIPE-136... mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE Here is how it will appear with new object types: poem: POEM-NT13-3 text: The document RIPE-104 text: Goes on longer than ever before text: If you want an address text: And your network's a mess text: Then Daniel will get very sore form: FORM-LIMERICK admin-c: LIM1-RIPE author: NT13 remarks: Great limerick, but the draft document RIPE-104++ remarks: is now called RIPE-136... mnt-by: LIM-MNT changed: limerick-wg(a)ripe.net 19960529 source: RIPE - Object templates Here is the template for the POEM object: poem: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [optional] [multiple] form: [mandatory] [single] [inverse key] text: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] author: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] POETIC-FORM object template is: poetic-form: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [optional] [multiple] [ ] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] Regards, Arife Vural RIPE NCC, SED
