URI Schema¶

URI types¶

Generic:

rsb:///hierarchical/service/definition/further/to/participant

This may resolve to:

• Service and/or Participant
  • If there is only one of these entities this is enough for resolving it
  • If multiple entities reside on this scope, a single instance can be selected using their UUID.
    rsb:///hierarchical/service/definition/further/to/participant#UniqueIDOfParticipant [UUID]
• Nothing ;)

These generic URIs require a global naming service.

Specific:

transport://<location.transport.specific[:PORT]>/hierarchical/service/definition/further/to/participant

Location uniquely identifies a single participant or service, hence an ID part is not required any more.

Specific IDs can be resolved by the respective connectors and do not require a global naming.

Rationale¶

• generic: usually location transparency should be available
• specific: specific access without naming
• UUIDs should ideally not be required to keep URIs simple
