One of the identified requirements include the ability of users to retain data souvereignity. Technically, this translates into a lot of caching, disconnected operations and synchronisation. In 2008 I've started to design the LokaRest library [1] to provide such facilities in a generic way to web service consumption code, although admittedly haven't been actively working on it since some time after its creation. One year later, the librest part of Silk [2] has been created which seems to be loosely related but seems to have a similar track record of activity. For the upcoming OCS sprint, we sort of had the idea to tamp something like LokaRest beneath specific service consumption libraries such as Attica for OCS access. It would additionally be benefitial to migration scenarios where users want to take their data from one provider to another one. What are the opinions, plans, stakes of the Silk people?
