Hi all, I've recently started looking into the way DSpace deals (or doesn't) with persistent identifiers (prompted in part by patch #1690912 and a conversation I had with Mark Diggory). I've put some thoughts on the wiki:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/PersistentIdentifiers and I'd like to gather some input. I've already implemented everything discussed on the wiki in a prototype, and it seems to be working well. Note that the implementation is being done in parallel with the DAO prototype: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DaoPrototype The most controversial aspects that I've come up against are: * deciding which persistent identifier method is used (if more than one is supported); and * what the URLs should look like (http://dspace.me.ac.uk/uri/hdl:12/34 rather than http://dspace.me.ac.uk/handle/12/34, for instance) I'm particularly interested in hearing from folks who already need to support other identifiers (PURLs, DOIs, etc), but any input would be appreciated. cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.
