Mapping owners -> published afs

[MarkGeeRomano]

For the dapp, there is a 'Published' view in the ui, that displays all of the files published under the AID of the user. Currently, there's no mapping of owners directly to their afs. This would be a really nice feature to have for the dapp, and probably for any other projects built off ara and the probably for the users themselves. We could just make a call to one of the contracts, and return an array of did we could render to the app.

@MarkGeeRomano is this still needed/wanted?

[MarkGeeRomano]

If it doesn't blow up the cost of publishing, I'd say so. If we don't have this feature, we need to keep track of published by writing to a centralized db or locally.

I'd bring Logan in on this too. He was asking about this feature yesterday.

Okay, @mahjiang what are your thoughts?

[mahjiang]

We could add a mapping in the Registry contract to a Struct of some sort which holds a mapping (bytes32 (content DID) => address (content address)) as well as an array of all the published content DIDs.

This wouldn't allow us to display any resellable content (post MVP scope). If the purpose is to allow someone to easily obtain a list of content they can purchase from someone, then we'd want to take that into consideration as well

Tabling this issue for now. I think the approach we are taking is if new features come out after the core contracts have been deployed, we will rely on services which aggregate blockchain events to provide us the information we need.
