| This Service Genre describes the insertions of objects into collections of like objects. This MAY also include the metadata associated with an object. An ICT architecture that offers a service of the Add genre will be able to support remote updates of items within their collections. Add implementations will typically also offer the users the functionality to update and delete existing objects within collections. Typical implementations assign a unique identifier to objects within their collections, and also persist data in some form until it is explicitly removed. However, it is not inconceivable that other processes could consume added data very rapidly; or that a collection would be deleted at the end of a session. As defined the Add Service Genre is not access controlled. Any client may attempt to contact an Add service end point. There are no authentication controls. The service end point is responsible for determining which clients can Add content. |
