You're welcome! Just to clarify, in case there's any confusion:
In the current DSpace code, Handles are *never* reused. As I mentioned, the only small exception (if it is one) is when you restore a deleted item using the AIP Backup & Restore tools, then that newly restored item is reassigned the same handle that it had before deletion. As helix84 mentioned, you could manually change the DSpace database or source code to allow handles to be reused, if you had a reason to do so. But, I wouldn't recommend this. Handles are meant to be persistent identifiers, and as such, they really shouldn't be reused for other objects. - Tim On 8/23/2012 1:03 PM, Berry, Irene (CIV) wrote: > I want to thank the group here at the tech list for the thoughts about > what happens to a handle once it is expunged, especially Susan Thonton, > Tim Donahue and helix84.
