Day 2 and Day 3: Developer Hackathon

This year we will not have a day of talks as in previous years. Instead, both day 2 and day 3 will be "DAS developers' days". This may include some updates on progress since the last workshop, discussions, and a code hackathon. The exact format is yet to be decided.

Recent developments since the last workshop

  • DAS writeback
  • DAS search
  • Registry CRUD via a web service (get, post, put, delete) (JW)
  • Alternative content negotiation (e.g. the Registry supports JSON for all requests and responses) (AJ/JW)
  • Authentication/encryption in ProServer (AJ)

Suggestions for topics on Developers Days

Please feel free to add suggestions for discussions or code sprints.

  • JSON roll out to other servers and clients? (JW)
  • Firming up of the authentication DAS standard so the registry and writeback are consistent (JW)
  • Add support for conditional get (If-Modified-Since - reply only if modified since the modified since header) or ETags? (JW)
  • High density simple features such as SNPs - vcf format or simple json format without method and stop? (JW)

Possible DAS related Talks

  • DAS Registry - new architecture and capabilities (JW)
  • DAS in personal genomics (MC/JW/BG)
  • Secure DAS trial (David Martin, Jim Procter, Thomas Down)
