Thorny, If you switch to using a managed content datastream, how do you maintain an audit trail? (This is already a problem we are confronting with our non-metadata managed datastreams, but the majority of our modifications are to the metadata.) I see how you can force an audit trail via Fedora: edit the external content datastream, and then run a modify into Fedora doesn't change anything but at least update the audit trail saying "a change happens". But there's no way, then, for Fedora to know what the change was and maintain a log of it. Do you recommend managing all of the external datastreams in some other revision control system, such as RCS or Subversion? -Deborah -- Deborah Kaplan Digital Resources Archivist Digital Collections and Archives Tufts University ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fedora-commons-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users
