Giannis commented on TAVERNA-1037:
----------------------------------

Hello, I 'm an undergraduate on my 3rd yeah at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece. I 'm studying electrical engineering and computer engineering and I would like to ask you some advice on what to study and search in order for my purposal to be decent on GSoC 2018. I would love to work with your foundation and as Taverna is a brand new topic for me I need a useful starting point. I have basic knowledge on programming from various courses on my university but I need something specific.

> This is a project idea for [Google Summer of Code|https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/] (GSOC). To discuss this or other ideas with your potential mentor from the Apache Taverna project, sign up and post to the [dev@taverna|https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/community/lists.html#devtaverna] list, including "[GSOC]" in the subject. You may also comment on this Jira issue if you have created an account.

> The [ro-bundle|https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-language/tree/master/taverna-robundle] module of Taverna Language currently uses app:// URIs in its Java [FileSystem|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/file/FileSystem.html] URIs and thus also in its RDF loading.
> This was in accordance with [RO bundle spec|https://researchobject.github.io/specifications/bundle/#absolute-uris] – however the app:// URI scheme has been since abandoned.
> The arcp URI scheme has been proposed as an alternative to describe paths within an archive (e.g. ZIP file): [https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-soilandreyes-arcp-03.html] (This Internet-Draft is progressing towards an RFC)
> This proposal suggests to modify RO Bundle to use arcp:// URIs – but not just modify app://bf5a0cab-86d7-40da-b588-1ce4953ae13d/ to arcp://uuid,bf5a0cab-86d7-40da-b588-1ce4953ae13d/ - but to support the other mechanisms suggested by arcp in [https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-soilandreyes-arcp-03.html#rfc.section.4.1]
> That is, it should be possible to open an RO Bundle from a fixed URL as identifier, or using its sha256 checksum in readonly mode.
> It should also be possible to lookup an RO Bundle URI from a .well-known endpoint as defined in [https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-soilandreyes-arcp-03.html#rfc.section.4.4]
> Extensions to this project could be to add a Java URL handler so that URLs from an opened RO Bundle file system also can be used as java.net.URLs. Also it could develop a new arcp-java module similar to the reference Python implementation https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arcp
> Prospective students are expected to participate in the Apache [Taverna community|https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/community/lists.html#devtaverna] - but are also welcome to join the [IETF |https://www.ietf.org]review process  in reviewing or improving the arcp Internet-Draft to progress it towards RFC.
