Re: [Dspace-tech] generation of format.extent and format.mimetype

2007-04-13 Thread Claudia Jürgen
Hello Gabriel,

this was a purposeful change.

This metadata is no longer created on item creation. The reason was, 
that it referred to individual bitstreams and not the item, e. g. having 
an item with
foo1.pdf
foo2.pdf
and thus 2 times format.extent and format.mimetype it was no longer 
clear which metainformation belonged to which bitstream.

With the new data/metadata model as result of the architectural review 
there will be better mechanisms for data-metadata handling in the future.

 This information is now stored somewhere else (still shows up in the
 View/Open box).  Was this a purposeful change from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1, or
 has our installation gone a little awry?

 Hello Gabriel,
 
 this was a purposeful change.
 
 This metadata is no longer created on item creation. The 
 reason was, that it referred to individual bitstreams and not 
 the item, e. g. having an item with foo1.pdf foo2.pdf and

That does make sense.  Thanks for the clarification. 

 With the new data/metadata model as result of the 
 architectural review there will be better mechanisms for 
 data-metadata handling in the future.
 

Great.  Looking forward to it.
