Davy - yes, I think there is a real opportunity here for something. I'm imagining a ping server for FAS data. There is open source java code for a ping server, I bet we could trivially mod it to work for FAS data. If we could put this up and provide a front end (very very simple thing, just a list of all the annotation streams that have updated in the last n minutes)...
What do you think? Do you have any server resources that we could use? If not, I'm pretty sure I can get my hands on something. BTW, note that the annotationURI i the annotationStream tag is meant to point to a specification for the annotations in the <annotation> node, not a pointer to the actual file. In otherwords, you need to have a mood annotation specification somewhere (e.g. stating that negative means bad, positive means good and 0 means neutral). The way URIs work is that they don't have to actually resolve to something, they just have to *mean* something. However, it is far more convenient if the URI points to an actual document that states the spec. I will work on something more formal as a definition.
