I do agree they are separate, my advice is simply that once have your hands under the hood in the METS Packager it would be a great opportunity to just take into consideration (2) when your making your changes so that we separate the processing of the mets file from the packager itself so it will b

Mark & All, Although I agree with the ideas of Mark D's proposal, I'd like to point out that there are two separate tasks here, which are only loosely related. So, the person or persons volunteering for one, need not be responsible for the other. The two tasks are: (1) Update/Create METS Prof

Tossing in my $0.02, I've worked on the the following proposal for adjusting the Packager Architecture, I think it has a similar vein. Please fee free to grab this proposal and mutate it to your needs. Our goal is to get the File type (zip, ta, gz, pdf, etc) of the package separated from the crossw

All, (I sent a message to this same effect to both Robin Taylor & Bill Hays) I'd encourage someone to make updates or draft a new version of this DSpace METS SIP profile. I'd love to be kept in the loop, but may not have any significant time in the near term to devote towards this work. So, I'

Robin and Richard, I started a dialog with Stuart Lewis a week or so ago about getting the Packager system improved upon. I also had a dialog with Richard about some of the BagIt packaging work he was working on. I've started to outline some requirements for furutre enhancements to the Packager s

Robin, The page that describes the profile you refer to https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile. is somewhat incomplete and has some broken links. I have found a more extensive document called metssipv0p9p1.xml from the original authors. I've been working with Tim Donohue

Hi Robin: No objections, and its long overdue. But a friendly amendment: we have to keep in mind that the Mets profile is not the same as the X-Packaging (package type) in the SWORD protocol. That latter has been a neglected and therefore somewhat problematic area, and the work you propose will

Hi all, There is currently one Mets profile for DSpace that I know of https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceMETSSIPProfile. Unfortunately its been widely abused in the sense that it specifies that the metadata will be in MODS, but DSpace exposes and exports data claiming to adhere to the
