| [cosmos-dev] FW: Cosmos Picture from yesterday's discussion |
|
Here is
the whiteboard picture from yesterday’s discussion. The “brown”
cylinders are existing data stores. Their collectors have whatever existing
private interfaces they have between the resources they monitor and the data
stores where they record them. The collectors may also expose “new”
APIs both to expose new data and entertain directed queries. The
vertical wsdm-ep is the interface that exposes one or more data stores through
an abstraction metaphor. The “broker” is a wsdm-ep who is basically
the marriage maker for consumers and producers. Consumers contact the broker to
get a list of producers who are willing to provide the data that the consumer
wants. The broker is responsible for returning an array of qualifying
producers. The consumers can choose to have an interaction with producers to
refine their interest and then send a query to the “chosen”
producer. Chris
