Dear Colleagues,

[Apologies for duplicates]

Following discussions in the Database Working Group, we have made changes to the whois server software.

These are the proposed changes:

- Add a new object POETIC-FORM that will contain the supported poem types. - Add a new object POEM that will hold the poem itself. - Add a new attribute "form:" that shows the type of poem.

There is more information about this below.

You can find more details about the discussion at:

http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2004/msg00246.html

We expect to put a new whois server on line with new object support on 2 May 2005 at 16:00 CET.

- Add a new POETIC-FORM object:

The POETIC-FORM object contains information about the poem type.

This is an example of a LIMERICK object:

poetic-form: FORM-LIMERICK descr: Poem type for Limerick admin-c: AMR68-RIPE mnt-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: ripe-dbm@ripe.net 20050429 source: RIPE

Slight problem with this example. I beleive we agreed that the description of the poetic form should be in the form of the poetic form itself. I gave a number of examples: limerick, haiku, prose, and english sonnet in my original presentation. This example does not comply with the requirement. -- Nigel Titley Peering Coordinator, FLAG Telecom +44 20 8564 5812 ********************************************************************** This e-mail message is confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and contains information which is or may be confidential, non-public or legally privileged.
