Hi folks, 

I have a question regarding the finding the quantity of bitstreams with digital 
objects attached.


We have a case where we have some bitstreams in our DSpace instance which just 
contain matadata. (citation, reference, etc.)

We have other bitstreams which have the metadata (citation, reference, etc.) 
and the described work. (PDF, etc.) 

Over the last few years, we have been manually adding digital objects to 
bitstreams which were missing their digital objects.  We were not diligent in 
thinking through our strategy metrics, now, we would like to know for each year 
of operation how many digital objects have been added to existing bit streams, 
which previously were empty (not containing the PDF and other files which are 
referenced). 

What might be the suggested way to go back and assess which bitstreams received 
digital objects? is there a standard method for this? or perhaps where should I 
look: in the server logs? or on the file server at the data added?

Also is there a modification, or a hack which will automatically add to the 
provenance record of an item who made changes (and what the changes were), 
changes like the adding of a digital object to the bit stream or changed a 
metadata element's value?
