Task #3918
Story #3892: Need a content viewing / rendering service
Design initial version of rendering service
100%
Description
Goal of this task is to develop an initial design of a rendering service, including:
- Identify the key metadadata elements to presented
- Define the service interface URL end point
- Indicate the processing to be done to display content for different situations, such as:
- PID points to data component of a data package defined by a resource map, including science metadata
- PID points to data with no associated metadata
- PID refers to one of several data objects in a data package described by a single science metadata document
- PID refers to one of several data objects in a data package with a science metadata document per data object

Ben has worked on the view service such that the REST endpoint would support different themes for rendering. The basic design is:
GET /views
[MNRead|CNRead].listViews() -> Types.ViewList
Displays a list of usable formats (themes) for rendering science metadata content, and marks the default format. [Note: While this may be eventually a useful API call, it is so far not prototyped, see https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/6029. The returned ViewList type is undefined at the moment.]
GET /views/{format}/{pid}
[MNRead|CNRead].getView(pid, format) -> Types.OctetStream
Renders the science metadata document using the given named format string. If the format string is not recognized, renders the science metadata using the default format. Note that the return type of Types.OctetStream requires that the consuming client has a priori knowledge of the format being returned (like HTML).
The MNRead.getView() service has been prototyped in Metacat, see https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5939.
