Description

The metadata returned by Wookie for GET /widgets and GET /widgets/

{id_or_uri}

is slightly confusing in that it doesn't quite follow the W3C widget spec (e.g. it has <title> instead of <name>) and it contains two different attributes for identifiers:

id == the wookie internal JPA identifier
identifier == the W3C Widget id

I propose making the following changes:

1. Change "title" to "name"
2. Remove "identifier"
3. Change the content of "id" to the W3C Widget URI id (as provided in config.xml
4. Change <icon>

{URL}</icon> to <icon src="{URL}

"/>

This has implications for connectors, which will need to be updated to the same version as the Wookie server.
