I remember implementing a Handle-based PidGenerator module for the NSDL years ago. I can find the javadocs for at least some it, but I can't find the source online anywhere:
http://nsdl-core.sourceforge.net/doc/javadoc/index.html?org/nsdl/repository/handle/HandleManager.html The only two issues I recall (and really, it's been ~6 years since I've thought about this): 1) if you were willing to live with a simple encoding/escaping of your handles so they were legal Fedora PIDs, you could pretty much just use handles as PIDs, 2) the length limits are different, so you would need to exercise care in minting handles so that they weren't too long. -Eddie On 28 Feb 2012, at 9:13 AM, Conal Tuohy wrote: > > Hi Diwakar > > I've done an integration of the Handle system with Fedora Commons, which may > be of interest. > > The integration uses the FedoraUpdateHandler application to listen for > notifications of newly ingested records in Fedora, and then launches a script > which generates a handle (using a "PIDS" web-service interface to the Handle > server, but you could equally use the hdl-genericbatch tool that comes with > the CNRI Handle server software[2]), and then saves the handle in a > datastream on the newly ingested object. > > Using FedoraUpdateHandler for integration means you just have to write a > script to generate the handle.
