| Summary | 0002185: (optionally) add namespace advertisements to published directories when publishing a directory in a namespace | ||||
| Description | The idea is that users that find the directory can learn which namespace it belongs to. | ||||
| Additional Information | (10:50:33 PM) LRN: OK, here's the use-case: (10:50:50 PM) grothoff: The GUI currently doesn't give you a way other than manually adding the file to the namespace, but internally all you need is the URI. (10:51:43 PM) grothoff: With the URI, you can link into the middle of a namespace from a gnunet-directory (which can be in a different namespace or no namespace at all), and you can (not with the gui, but theoretically) add any (CHK/LOC) URI to a namespace that you control. (10:51:51 PM) LRN: I've searched for "foo", and found foo. I've downloaded foo, and i've found foo to be great. I check the metadata (or GNUnet client checks it for me) and i see that foo was also published within a namespace Bar. I search for the Bar namespace and add it to my namespace list. (10:52:20 PM) grothoff: So you want to make the link to the SBlock, not the CHK URI. (10:52:27 PM) LRN: Yes, i am aware of the fact that you can "collect" things into namespace without publishing them yourself (10:52:30 PM) grothoff: (which would be a new KBlock). (10:53:55 PM) LRN: If SBlock is what namespace advertisement is - then yes. (10:53:58 PM) grothoff: I think everything you want is _theoretically_ possible with libgnunetfs, but not with the GUI, and I'm not sure that there is an intuitive way to allow all of these things with the GUI -- or that this is needed, as the uses are rather "special". If you have a specific application in mind that needs this, a custom GUI for that purpose might be a better solution... (10:54:20 PM) grothoff: LRN: that's an "NBlock". You can also put NBlocks in to directories, but again not with the current GUI. (10:54:44 PM) grothoff: Then your directory would contain a reference to someone else's namespace, together with a description for that namespace. (10:54:54 PM) grothoff: Again, supported by the library, not the GUI. (10:55:05 PM) LRN: Actually, i think it's the RIGHT way to use namespaces. Right to get to know about a namespace you have to either find its advertisement, or get a link off-band. (10:55:07 PM) grothoff: Btw, 0002184 added to Mantis. (10:55:30 PM) LRN: The natural way to find namespaces should be by finding good publications, and learning that they come from a namespace. (10:56:12 PM) grothoff: It would be possible to (optionally) add a link to a namespace advertisement into every directory published in the namespace... (10:56:21 PM) LRN: That would be great (10:56:24 PM) grothoff: That way, if you find a directory from a namespace, you'd get the add with it. (10:56:28 PM) grothoff: Ad, not add. (10:56:43 PM) LRN: Is it mantissed? (10:56:53 PM) grothoff: This specific issue, no. (10:57:01 PM) LRN: Mantiss it! :) (10:57:21 PM) LRN: (by the way, is it "mantiss" or "mantis"?) (10:57:30 PM) grothoff: The bigger issue there right now is that we "forget" about our own namespace advertisements after we publish them, so they are no longer around when directories are created later. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| (10:58:19 PM) LRN: OK, but we can find our own namespace advertisements and "learn" about them (10:59:42 PM) grothoff: Yuck. Might be better to store the information in the pseudonym metadata instead ;-). (10:59:50 PM) LRN: So: 1) Don't forget NBlocks after they've been published OR immediately find them (whichever is easier). 2) Give the user a way to specify a namespace when publishing. Not necessarily the namespace user controls, just any namespace with non-negative rating. | |
| (2013-07-18 19:45:13) amatus: another idea would be to publish K-Blocks using the file CHK as the keyword (2013-07-18 19:45:43) LRN: h-m-m-m...that's neat (2013-07-18 19:45:43) amatus: so let's say i find a file and want to specifically search for what namespaces it's in, i could search for the CHK and find a K-Block you published saying that file is in your namespace (2013-07-18 19:46:21) amatus: but again, this is not a convention anyone currently follows (2013-07-18 19:46:34) LRN: well, we're here to establish such conventions | |
| SKS URI for the namespace are now included in meta data and can be used to learn the namespace. | |
