Poetry object
by Titley, Nigel 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

In checking through the minutes and actions I note an action [AP48.3] on myself to clarify the issue of tech-c on the proposed poem: object. My proposal is that to be consistent we should have the tech-c attribute on both the Poem: and the Poetic-form: object. I also note Ulrich's suggestion that we should add the mnt-irt attribute to the Poem: object in order to provide a means of reporting abuse of (or by) the poem, and agree that this could be useful. Hopefully its inclusion at this early stage of the proceedings will allow tool-writers to make use of it rather than parsing lists of changed: attributes. I don't think we need the irt-mnt attribute on the Poetic-form object, but I'm willing to be persuaded. Please could I have comments on this, with the hope that we can tie off this action in Manchester, and get the new objects into the database.

domain: object normalization
by Pim van Pelt 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

Hi, I keep on bumping into something with the RIPE database. I'm used to the pedantic trailing dot in hostnames, such as 'www.bit.nl.'; I also always write domains like so: '122.109.193.in-addr.arpa.'. $ whois -h whois.ripe.net 122.109.193.in-addr.arpa. % This is the RIPE Whois server. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % Rights restricted by copyright. % See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/copyright.html %ERROR:101: no entries found % % No entries found in the selected source(s). Without the trailing dot, this works just fine. Is it feasable to have the scanner normalize the hostname/domain into something that your backend can look up ? -- Met vriendelijke groet, BIT BV / Ing P.B. van Pelt PBVP1-RIPE (PGPKEY-4DCA7E5E)
