Hello Greg,
thank you for the attachement.
What do you think about to use the DAVIS WebDAV component? So we could get
iRODS objects over HTTP. In the "external reference" and "redirected"
datastreams the location is set with a HTTP-URI. This doesn't need any change
on the fcrepo-server. The additional component is clearly a drawback.
Yes, i use an Akubra-iRODS module. With "managed" datastreams it works fine.
Due to that fcrepo only support http scheme, i only use "managed" datastreams,
yet. But my actual approach is neither optimal nor intuitive. Because, i derive
the location of an iRODS file from its Fedora object- or datastream-id. So i
get something like "datastreamStore/object-id/DS1/DS1.0". I don't like the way
to put the current datastream with its version in the same folder. Moreover i
impose to use this structure for direct ingest over iRODS. What is your
approach to this?
Best wishes,
jörg
