[Docs] Add generic republish notebook
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Part of OpenAssetIO/OpenAssetIO#31. This notebook came as an appendix
to illustrating usage of `entityTraits` in the original design notebook
for that API method (see previous commit).

However, during review it became apparent that a generic resolve and
republish workflow is a distinct use-case, and not specific to
`entityTraits`. So it was moved to its own notebook.

"# Hosts: Generic republishing\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"This notebook presents the rare case where a manager needs to republish entity data without any knowledge of the provenance of the entity. This may be useful for a generic asset introspection and modification tool. Primarily, this notebook is an exploration of advanced interplay between the entity introspection and publishing APIs."

"## Generic resolve and re-publish\n",
"\n",
"A rare use-case is for a tool that blindly resolves, updates, and re-publishes an entity, regardless what type of entity it is. \n",
"\n",
"Such generic re-publishing is discouraged and dangerous. For example, if \"approval\" status is blindly resolved and re-published, the manager may not know how it should handle this properly. A better approach to such a generic tool is to present the traits and their properties to the user to select before re-publishing.\n",
"\n",
"However, such workflows are possible and have their place in a pipeline. This can be accomplished by making use of `entityTraits`, alongside other introspection and publishing methods. The following subsections explore two possible workflows, illustrating how generic re-publishing might be achieved. "
