NDR API Implementation Details - getResourceMetadata

Get all metadata and annotations about a resource registered in the NDR.

Discussions

Input Discussions

• handle (resource) OR identifier (metadata) OR URL (resource)
• <optional> XMLFormat - format of returned metadata XML transforming if necessary

Output Discussions

SUCCESS

• all metadata
• all annotations

In the header of getResourceURL, handleURL is getResourceMetadata for the resource. Since this is the getResourceMetadata call, should it have handleURL return the getResourceURL call OR its own url, getResourceMetadata, repeated in the header?
