---+++ ODS Application Endpoints (URL Redirection)

ODS has an application URI scheme for easy recollection of application instantiation end points.  A URL in the format shown below will redirect to the appropriate page of the application requested.

The general form of the redirect URL in ODS is as follows:

<verbatim>
http://<host>.<domain>:[port]/dataspace/<ods-member-username>/<ods-app-realm>/<ods-app-instance-id>
</verbatim>

Where <ods-app-realm> is an ODS application realm is one of the following values : 

   * feeds
   * weblog
   * wiki
   * briefcase
   * mail
   * bookmark
   * photos
   * community
   * news

Example:

<verbatim>
which takes you to the Weblog home page of a blog owned by Kingsley Idehen (an ODS member)  named: Kingsley Idehen Blog DataSpace 
</verbatim>


There are also ODS Access Points scoped to the ODS member level for a given realm that enable the listing of all application instances belonging to an ODS member.

The Access Convention is as follows:
http://<host>.<domain>:[port]/dataspace/<ods-member-username>

where <ods-member-username> is an ODS members login name.

example:

<verbatim>
http://host:port/dataspaces/kidehen 
</verbatim>
