I was digging through some older e-mail when I found this. I don't think anybody responded:
> we created a Fedora object via Fedora-Admin tool with a RELS-EXT data > stream which has a control group “Managed Content”. <snip>and everything worked fine, but the documentation says otherwise:</snip> > “The RELS-EXT Datastream should be encoded as an Inline XML > Datastream, meaning that the relationships metadata is expressed > directly as XML within the digital object XML file (as opposed the > relationship metadata existing in a separate XML file that the digital > object points to by reference).” I don't know of any specialized code in Fedora itself that assumes RELS-EXT is an inline datastream, so I am not surprised that everything works. However, there's has been precedent for some external utilities (such as migration tools) to assume that RELS-EXT is inline. The 2.2 -> 3.0 migration tool was one. It simply applied an XSL transform to every foxml file, and assumed that RELS-EXT was either inline, or did not exist in the object. A managed RELS-EXT datastream would likely have caused a problem to the utility or to the resulting data. I believe that the specific control group for RELS-EXT (or any datastream) should ideally be irrelevant as far as the repository and utilities are concerned. Unfortunately, I don't know what other tools or services do/will operate under the inline XML assumption, so I would proceed with caution. -Aaron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Fedora-commons-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users
