Notification and linkage service can be based on object registration mechanism and allows important collaborative capabilities
|
one associates with each group activity a "magic ID" (barcode)
|
every digital object associated with this activity registers itself when it comes on line with some registry (registry can be distributed). A given object may have multiple barcodes attached to it
-
This is Jini model for registration but can be implement for pure Web (using JavaScript) or CORBA
|
Either users or Portals (PSE's) register interest in certain barcodes
|
The (Portal) event service notifies registered observers when a digital object of interest becomes available
