Alex,
Theres a philosophical reason
1.) During submission, the licensing being agreed passes rights to the
repository for dissemination and management of the attached content.
2.) After the review phase, the Collection Managers have reviewed the item
and determined it worthy of being in the archive.
So if the submitter were to be able to change it after that point, it would
be without the Reviewers observing those changes. I do not necessarily
think this means that "Items" shouldn't be able to be updated by the
original submitter. But from the standpoint of repository content
management policies, its best if it were to be properly documented and
reviewed when it happens. NESCent and @mire have been recently working on
an Item versioning add-on for DSpace that enables new versions of items to
be generated and inserted back into the submission workflow, where they can
be altered and passed onto the curators again for review, then the version
history of the item can be tracked and possibly multiple versions of an item
be retained and all be citable. We hope to see it be a feature added to a
future version of DSpace.
Best,
Mark Diggory
