[wdmmg-discuss] Datastore URL changes - any views?

[Anna Powell-Smith]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of making some minor changes to the WDMMG datastore model and
URLs.

Just wanted to run these past the list first in case anyone can see any
problems:

   - Rename 'transaction' to 'entry', and 'slice' to 'dataset' - less
   jargony names.
   - Replace UUIDs with ordinary autoincrement IDs - I think the URLs are
   unwieldy at the moment.
   - Include dataset names in transaction URLs, so they are more
   descriptive.

So instead of having a URL like
/transaction/8457f249-78da-4e7c-8956-b1325f755250 for a transaction, we'd
have something like /entry/cra/2912.

I could put redirects in place from the existing URLs, if the datastore has
enough traffic for it to be worthwhile.

Any views?

best wishes
Anna
