[OTDev] Location of permanently stored data

Hello All,

there is another point that arose during our internal discussions on the
API. Where does a service that wants to store data, e.g. calculated
data, know where (or on which server) to store (POST) it? Can we
introduce something like server_uri as additional parameter for the
services?

A possible scenario is that the user calculates features
using  /algorithm/descriptorcalculator and wants to ensure that the
generated features (and feature_definitions) are POSTed to a specific
server, say 
POST feature123 http://userserver:8080/feature 
POST feature_definition345 http://userserver:8080/feature_definition

This issue will/might also arise if a developer does not want to
implement the whole (or most of) the API, but just a new model
development or descriptor calculation service as a contribution to
OpenTox.

Regards,
Tobias, Fabian, Jörg
