[seek-dev] update on Kepler actors for TOS access

[Robert Gales]

Hi Matt,

The only actor that TOS will need is the web services actor.  We have 
added quite a number of API methods that work with simple types or 
arrays of simple types specifically so it can be used.  I did some 
preliminary testing just to ensure that the web services actor would 
support everything we needed, but found that there were some issues with 
its handling of arrays.  I made a couple of minor changes awhile back 
that seemed to get it working with the stubs I had created, but there 
have been a few changes to it since the version I was working with.  
Tomorrow A.M., I'll merge my changes with those, retest and send a patch 
to Ilkay.

Other than that, the "get best concept from a name string" method is 
given us a bit of grief at the moment, but the rest of the methods that 
were defined as necessary for the niche modelling use case have been 
implemented.

Cheers,
Rob
