OpenHandle Compact Forms

(This is a very rough draft.)

The Handle serializations can be verbose. It is especially noticeable that the admin fields of a handle value are structured elements and are suitable candidates for abbreviation.

A Handle record is composed of values each subdivided into fields - see HandleDataModel.

• user/admin fields
• simple/complex fields

Handle value fields

• Permission
• TTL
• Timestamp
• References - Handle Value Refs

Handle data predefined types

• HS_ADMIN
• handle value ref
• perms

Permission

      "permission" : {
        "adminRead" : "true" ,
        "adminWrite" : "true" ,
        "publicRead" : "true" ,	
        "publicWrite" : "false"
      } ,

      "permission" : "1110" ,

TTL

	"ttl" : {
		"ttlType" : "0" ,
		"ttlValue" : "86400" ,
	}

	"ttl" : "+86400" 

Timestamp

      "timestamp" : "20080310T05:56:00.123Z" , 

      "timestamp" : "20080310T05:56:00.123Z" , 

Reference

    "reference" : {
        "referenceCount" : "2" ,
        "referenceList" : [
            {
                "handle" : "1234/567" ,
                "handleValueIndex" : "200" ,
            } ,
            {
                "handle" : "1234/567" ,
                "handleValueIndex" : "201" ,
            }
        ]
    }

    "reference" : [
        "hdl:1234/567?index=200" ,
        "hdl:1234/567?index=201"
