Dear Dspace-tech community,
I'm working on a project that needs to have different layers of access to
metadata fields. (ie. Only certain people/groups should have access to
certain metadata fields). I'm wondering if any in the dspace-tech community
have any ideas or experiences with this sort of thing? I'm gonna throw out
some ideas to see if anyone is interested.
I know that there are currently a couple of options related to items access,
+ You can let anonymous users view some info in the search/browse results
+ Then approved users/groups can have full-item read access (minus fields
that are designated for administrators)
+ Administrators can see all fields (including those designated
metadata.hide..... in the dspace.cfg file.)
What I'm thinking about includes the following:
+ Adding the ability to create masks or streams of masks that can be applied
at the community or collection level, and to specific groups.
+ Each mask would simply be a set of (metadata key, boolean value) pairs
+ I think collection administrators should be able to edit the masks though
the web interface
+ And that the OAI indexing should be viewed as another group or person for
this purpose.
I have some questions:
+ Should the mask be on the display end(post SQL request) or the request
end(pre SQL request)?
+ Presumably these masks would be persistent, where should they be stored?

connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
