WG/Source Discovery and Ingestion

Charter

This working group is in charge of the issues related to adding and updating external sources of content to the archive. It is expected to work both on technical and non technical aspects

Technical aspects

• an API for the archive to interact with an external source (forge, repository, web page, etc.) in order to perform at least the following tasks
  • list the full content of a source
  • get the list of updates in a source since a given moment in time
• mechanisms for discovering new sources

Non technical aspects

The working group members will contribute to raise awareness, and foster broad adoption of the APIs and mechanisms defined. The main objective is to make sure that there will be numerous external contributors willing to write software components adapted to the different kinds of existing sources of content.
