Nick. I hope I understand your requirement OK - it seems to me a good option is to supplement the Fedora-generated PID with an ARK (rather than to see it as a replacement). You can store the ARK in one or more of the object's datastreams, e.g. as the value of the <dc:identifier> element in the DC datastream:
<dc:identifier>ark:/123456/123456</dc:identifier> Then you can search your repository with the query "identifier~ark:/123456/123456" to resolve the ARK. To ensure that your objects are assigned ARK identifiers, you can listen to the Fedora repository using JMS, and in response to the creation of a record your listener can mint an identifier and assign it to the new object. I am doing something similar which is integrating an external handle server. Conal On 21/06/11 09:24, Nick Ruest wrote: > Hey folks, > > This is a *really* old thread.
