That sounds like something similar to what I'm working on: combining Xindice with JXTA. The idea is to make a peer-to-peer XML database.
For my application, globally unique identifiers for documents are URIs. That allows me to use URNs like urn:oid:1.3.1.6.7566... for an OID-identified document or urn:uuid:7e1f1218ab800128... for a UUID-identified document. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday 12 June 2002 10.52 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: replication > > > I am not sure if anyone has thought about replication for Xindice, but I > can certainly see some applications for it.
