Hi, Okay - so a 'flat' product has a single datastore reference.
So, how do you handle redundant copies of products? At the moment I have an independent catalogue at each site. I was thinking of a site metadata key, so multiple products can be filtered, but I thought I would see what other people are doing and if there is any interest in perhaps getting a product (flat or heirachical) with multiple references, i.e. beyond originalReference and datastoreReference. Or does that totally break the OODT model? It probably does... Also - does anyone store data on tape library and index it with OODT. I'm talking basic tar on a tape. This obviously breaks the file retrieval, if used, but I'm thinking of how this could be included in the OODT framework and maybe develop some methods. But before I go to deep I thought I would ask. Cheers, Tom
