Issue 3100: fragment part in file: or http: IOR (naming_ftf)
Source:  (, )
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary:  I am just reflecting over the optional IOR syntaxes using file:// and
http:// URI's and have one suggestion. URI's sport a `fragment identi-
fier', i.e. an identifier following a hash sign.
 Now this fragment identifier could be useful to disambiguate between
many IORs in the referenced file. I can think of several possibilities:

 1.) The fragment-id is numerical. The file contains many IORs, separated
     by newlines, and the fragment-id is an index into the file.

 2.) The file contains many lines of the format `identifier WS IOR', i.e.
     a simple tab-separated table. The fragment-id denotes the first IOR
     where the identifier matches.

 3.) The ORB checks each IOR in the file and looks for one whose Reposi-
     tory Id matches the fragment-id.

 This is a new issue for the Interoperable Naming TF.

 I am just reflecting over the optional IOR syntaxes using file:// and
http:// URI's and have one suggestion. URI's sport a `fragment identi-
fier', i.e. an identifier following a hash sign.
 Now this fragment identifier could be useful to disambiguate between
many IORs in the referenced file. I can think of several
possibilities:

 1.) The fragment-id is numerical. The file contains many IORs,
separated
     by newlines, and the fragment-id is an index into the file.

 2.) The file contains many lines of the format `identifier WS IOR',
i.e.
     a simple tab-separated table. The fragment-id denotes the first
IOR
     where the identifier matches.

 3.) The ORB checks each IOR in the file and looks for one whose
Reposi-
     tory Id matches the fragment-id.

 Just an inspiration.
