Hi, I asked this on Google Plus earlier today, but I figured I'd better take this question here: my brain is trying to tell me that there's a service or app that makes fake metadata, kind of like Lorem Ipsum but you feed it your fields and it gives you nonsense metadata back. But, it looks right

Hi, you'll notice from the language you use to describe your use case, that you use the word convert to describe what you're doing to the original TIFF images. Once you're done producing a derivative from those TIFFs, the only way back to the original TIFFs is to go back to the actual originals.

If you don't have any confidence in the URL, then why would you bother giving it out at all? Links are links. Make them active. Hi, David, I agree. And thanks! My feeling is, making the URL an active hyperlink implies confidence in the PURL/Handle, and provides the user with functionality
