    5 The interface for doing archive extraction will probably be a mixture of Extractor and DataSource/DataCrawler?. On the one hand they will be mimetype- specific and will operate on an InputStream? (perhaps a DataObject?), just like Extractor, on the other hand they deliver a stream of new DataObjects?. 
     5The interface for doing archive extraction will probably be a mixture of Extractor and !DataSource/!DataCrawler. On the one hand they will be mimetype-specific and will operate on an !InputStream (perhaps a !DataObject), just like Extractor, on the other hand they deliver a stream of new !DataObjects.

    77A URI scheme also has to be developed for such nested objects, so that you can identify a stream packed inside an archive.

    9 Support for zip and gzip are probably trivial as these formats are already accessible through java.util.zip. Rar is another format we encounter sometimes. As far as I know there is no java library available for it is an open format, i.e. the specs are available.

     15== Opening Resources ==

     17Opening of these resources also get rather tricky, e.g. how to open a text file in a zip file on a website. Good thinking required!
