[tdwg-tapir] Summary of TAPIR

[Roger Hyam]

Hi Guys,

I am putting together the TAG-1 meeting report and so far I have too 
little on TAPIR. My knowledge largely comes from the original proposal 
that Markus and Renato did back in 2004 and it has come a long way since 
then. I have followed some but not all of the debates and changes.

Would it be possible for you to come up with a one page summary of TAPIR 
as it is now. Just a high level summary of the protocol,  the different 
message types/operations and what they consists. Perhaps a paragraph on 
the filtering and an indication of the current areas you are working on.

A page like this on the protocol wiki would be really useful for a whole 
bunch of people not just me. Please excuse me if this exists and I just 
haven't found it.

Many thanks,

Roger
