Suggestion about Sorting
add asceding '+' and desceding '-' syntax to give more choice for user to control search results.
sorted[=<attr1>[,<attr2>,…]] --> sorted[=<attr1[+|-]>[,<attr2[+|-]>,…]]
- if attributes without + or -, it is as-is defined by current spec.
- if attributes with + or -, the sorting results will be ascedant or descedant.
Suggestion about location based search capability
Use case:
Mobile Client send object search request with a specific location coodinates (X, Y) to retrieve pictures which are near to (e.g. distance less than D km) that location.
e.g. distance(attrX, attrY) < delta
OR: distance(attrXY) < delta
