How deletion of objects assigned external ids is not something that DSpace should force on to a repository, although it would need to have some kind of sensible default. Although it isn't even the case that a repository can or should have a single way of dealing with removal of an externally identified file - the appropriate course of action would be influenced by the factors that led to the removal / replacement. Possibilities that should be supportable: * reassigning the existing id (handle) to a new file * provide a fallback mapping - for example, to the item * reporting that the id is invalid G This email has been scanned by Postini.
