Hi all,

this version harmonizes the "paging_metadata" element for the two pagination methods.

In my opinion, both methods have strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, since the "paging_metadata" element keeps the same structure and basically clients make use of the paging links as they are provided by the server, this specification envisages that operators may implement a method according to their needs, the user access levels, the submitted queries.

More detailed descriptions of both "sorting_metadata" and "paging_metadata" elements are provided.

With regard to the possibility for clients to indentify which capabilities a server supports, this is still an open issue as it was pointed out by Andy at the last meeting. Currently, the rdapConformance array can only be used to identify the additional elements in the response. On this point, I have submitted a presentation to the ROW committee about a possible solution enabling servers to provide clients with their own specification.

Many thanks, James and Andy, for your interest.

I look forward to further reviews.


Cheers,

mario

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Registration Protocols Extensions WG of the IETF.

Title : Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Query Parameters for Result Sorting and Paging

Abstract:
The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) does not include core
functionality for clients to provide sorting and paging parameters
for control of large result sets. This omission can lead to
unpredictable server processing of queries and client processing of
responses. This unpredictability can be greatly reduced if clients
can provide servers with their preferences for managing response
values. This document describes RDAP query extensions that allow
clients to specify their preferences for sorting and paging result
sets.
