             Summary: Item level versioning breaks persistence and lacks meta 
information
                 Key: DS-1348
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1348
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XMLUI
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Claudia Jürgen
            Priority: Major


At the moment the item level versioning breaks the concept of persistent 
identifiers as an item gets a new handle assigned during versioning, e.g.

Create an item 
-> it gets baseHandle/n

Version this item
-> the new version gets baseHandle/n
-> the original version gets baseHandle/n.1

Version it again
-> the new version gets baseHandle/n
-> the second version gets baseHandle/n.2
-> the original version gets baseHandle/n.1
and so on

With regards to relationship services and versioning (here is some information 
about persistent identifier and value added services 
http://www.ands.org.au/guides/persistent-identifiers-expert.html#_sec331) 
relationship services can provide identifiers which encompass all versions of 
an item. So it should be something like that

Create an item
-> the encompassing identifier baseHandle/n is created
-> the item gets an identifier baseHandle/n.1
-> the baseHandle/n encompasses baseHandle/n.1 and identifies it as the newest 
and only version 
Create a new version
-> the new version gets identifier baseHandle/n.2
-> the baseHandle/n encompasses baseHandle/n.1 and baseHandle/n.2 and points to 
baseHandle/n.2 as the newest version

One other can of worms is how to handle the base identifier which encompasses 
all the versions. It's like a container for items and not an item itself.

Metadata:
a) items not connected via metadata
The versioned items are not linked via metadata elements like hasVersion, 
isVersionOf, replaces, isReplacedBy. So e.g. harvesting a versioned item via 
OAI-PMH gives no clue, that it is versioned at all.

b) dc.date.issued does not change
Each version of an item got the same dc.date.issued
