Some colleagues and I are considering a large scale document retrieval system
as a pilot
project
for SOA. The documents themselves are images and as the documents become
available,
disparate systems need to become aware of them.
The idea of brokered notification and a common service interface as some of the
underlying
implementation would change in different phases of the project seemed to make
this a good
fit
for an SOA pilot project.
As I think about scalability, and what appears to be the simplicity of
operations, I'm thinking
some of the most common and basic functionality could use REST (for the
images/documents
themselves)
and perhaps RDF to describe the documents, and maybe OWL for higher level
categorization.
I searched for empirical industry/government examples and didn't turn up much,
which led me to wonder if I was on the right track with the RDF idea or if the
technology is
immature
(though clearly RDF has been around a while).
