Hi Joachim, Unfortunately at this time, it is not very easy to replace the CNRI Handle System with another Identifier system. To replace it would essentially involve replacing all usages of "org.dspace.handle.*" classes (which from a quick search looks to affect ~45 files in DSpace).
However, for the upcoming 3.0 release (in Fall/Winter of this year), one of the proposed new features is to add External Identifier support to DSpace 3.0. This feature is currently being worked on by @mire and more info can be found in this wiki page: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Item+Versioning+Support (Look for the sections talking about the "Identifier Service"). At this time, this External Identifier service work still needs to be reviewed before we can say whether it will be included in DSpace 3.0 or not. However, it's possible that this work, should it be accepted as part of 3.0 would make your efforts to modify DSpace for EPIC much easier. - Tim On 7/24/2012 2:39 AM, Joachim Bingel wrote: > > > Hi, > > we're looking to implement DSpace 1.8.2 at our site with a non-default > PID service, e.g. EPIC.
