Subject: Re: content negotiating for package formats
To: [email protected]


More specifically..... the Open Access Repository Junction "Discovery"
APIs use the "Accept" header to determine the content type of the
returned data, and it would be sensible to remain consistent:

"Accept" defines the "mime-type" (application/xml, text/plain, etc...)
"Pragma:X-Packaging" then defines the package format for the content
(METSDSpaceSIP, METSOARJ, ORE, RDFa, etc)

.... I suggest Pragma:X-Packaging, as one currently uses an
'X-Packaging' element in the http request header object when *posting*
a SWORD deposit to define the packaging type of the content.
