Ian, Richard and Stuart,
This is an interesting dialog from the standpoint of the upcoming Item
Versioning contribution plan. One of our current development efforts for
DSpace 3.0 is to introduce Versioning support for DSpace Items. One
workpackage that is in a very early stage of planning is to have SWORDv2
update support on archived items available by having SWORDv2 call the
VersioningService we implemented for Dryad. The VersioningService is a
business tier service capable of minting and tracking new versions of
existing Items within DSpace. This will be especially useful for making
any amendments, this includes deletion and addition of new bitstreams to
items and alteration of metadata.
The overall strategy for Versioning support is that new Item versions
created by SWORD would be placed into the Reviewer Workflow, where the
review process can again occur and the Collection workflow stages can again
be enacted on the new Version of the Item. This allows both human and
automated activities to occur to the new Item revision prior to its
installation in the repository. The new versioning support provides both
a canonical or (Version Thread) Item handle identifier used in citing the
Item and an additional revision handle identifier (semantically or
non-semantically encoded) to point to a specific revision.
At this time the nature of these semantic or
non-semantic encoded identifiers is to maintain the relationship between
individual revisions in the Items revision history, the IdentifierService
of Dryad will be utilized to support two different strategies that may be
configured and overridden by the repository:
(a) opaque non-semantically encoded identifiers using the current handle
generation strategy ([prefix]/[id])
(b) semantically encoded revision identifiers ([prefix]/[id].[revision]).
Our objective is to keep this feature flexible.
The previous items canonical handle will be migrated to the new version
upon archiving, It will be the choice of the Collection Manager if the
previous revisions will be left online and accessible from their uniquely
resolvable revision handle or not.
A question for your community, We would like to support a notion of "major"
and "minor" updates via sword where edited metadata records and added
bitstreams may be considered minor updates while deletion/replacement of
bitstreams would be a major update and subject to review.
Finally, we would like to support "locking" of the Item and minor edits
and/or new versions of it while a revision is still under review in the
workflow.
We welcome any feedback from the SWORD team and community on appropriate
strategies to support this functionality in SWORDv2 for DSpace.
Best Regards,
Mark Diggory
