Multi-response query performatives


stream-about
     :content <expression>
     :language <word>
     :ontology <word>
     :reply-with <expression>
     :sender <word>
     :receiver <word>
This type is like ask-about, except that rather than replying with the collection of matches, the responder should send a series of performatives that when taken together identify the members of that collection.


stream-all
     :content <expression>
     :aspect <expression>
     :language <word>
     :ontology <word>
     :reply-with <expression>
     :sender <word>
     :receiver <word>
This type is like ask-all, except that rather than replying with the collection of instantiated aspects, the responder should send a series of performatives that when taken together identify the members of that collection.


eos   :in-reply-to <expression>
      :sender <word>
      :receiver <word>

The "End Of Stream" performative indicates that the sequence of responses to an earlier multi-response message (e.g., stream-all) :IN-REPLY-TO has terminated successfully. No more responses will be sent.
