Hi all, As part of my work on the identification mechanisms employed by DSpace (both internal and externally managed identifiers) I've decided that it's better to assign external identifiers to files than to not (which is the current policy). Whether or not external identifiers are used (and if so, which ones) will be configurable, but what I would like to know is whether anyone has a problem with assigning external identifiers to files at all.
If possible, could we keep this to a +/- 1 system (+1 to assign them to files, -1 to not). I definitely don't want to turn this into a discussion about identification systems more generally otherwise we'll be here until next year. Also, if you vote -1 a short explanation about why would be useful. cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.
