Draft: tagin! offline version

Elyas BHY edited this page Jul 26, 2013 · 3 revisions

In this wiki page we will discuss the possible implementations of an offline version of tagin!.

Proposal 1

  • Whenever the user uses a URN, the app makes a local copy of it on his device (the copy always reflects the latest value accessed).
  • When the app goes offline: the app makes use of the local resources it has previously gathered [1].
  • When the app comes back online: the app simply switches back to the cloud provider [2].

Remarks

[1] It is debatable whether or not the local copies should continue to behave like global URNs (i.e merging with neighbours & pushing away close neighbours), or should just be set into a read-only mode.

[2] At this point, should the app:

  • Drop all of the local copies?
  • Keep the local copies (do nothing)?
  • Update all of the local copies as soon as it gets back online?
