Kia ora koutou, I’m working on an early draft of an author name change policy for our repository. One of the less obvious places author names are included is the dc.description.provenance field generated when they first submit the item (submitter name and email address). If the file name included the author’s name this is also repeated in each dc.description.provenance field as it’s approved and made available. While these fields are admin-only, it would be ideal for authors’ privacy to redact or replace their old name wherever we don’t actively need it.
We’ve never referred back to checksums and are unlikely to have resource in future to do any proper digital curation that would use them. So, other than records management purist reasons, are there any technical implications of editing the dc.description.provenance fields, including submitter’s name and email address and file names? (In case it makes a difference, currently we’re on v5.8 xmlui, and like most people will at some point in the future migrate to v7.x.)
