Overview

The Universal Link Discovery Client (ULDis) allows - based on an abstract resource discovery vocabulary (aardv) and automated descriptor converter (arc) - to perform discovery independent of the underlying descriptor (that is XRD, POWDER, or voiD).

Offers Two Component:

  1. The LRDD-Processor finds descriptor sources (XRD, POWDER, voiD) based on the Linkd-based Resource Descriptor Discovery Protocol.
  2. Mapping to Abstract Resource Descriptor Vocabulary [Aardv]. ULDis maps the different descriptor formats the terms of Aardv using the Automated descRiptor Converter.

Provides Three Services:

  • ULDIS - Service: Combines the ARC and LRDD service  [not yet implemented].
  • ARC - Service: The mapping service [not yet implemented].
  • LRDD - Service 0.1: Resource description discovery service using LRDD.
