    55The 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 /!DataObject, just like Extractor, on the other hand they deliver a stream of new !DataObjects.

    7 I think it's best to let it operate on a !DataObject, as I expect that a gzip stream does not contain a file name for its contents, whereas people probably expect the archived file to have a name equal to its parent minus the .z/.gz extension.

    99A URI scheme also has to be developed for such nested objects, so that you can identify a stream packed inside an archive.
