Subject: Re: content negotiating for package formats
To: techadvisorypa...@swordapp.org


More specifically..... the Open Access Repository Junction "Discovery"
APIs use the "Accept" header to determine the content type of the
returned data, and it would be sensible to remain consistent:

"Accept" defines the "mime-type" (application/xml, text/plain, etc...)
"Pragma:X-Packaging" then defines the package format for the content
(METSDSpaceSIP, METSOARJ, ORE, RDFa, etc)

.... I suggest Pragma:X-Packaging, as one currently uses an
'X-Packaging' element in the http request header object when *posting*
a SWORD deposit to define the packaging type of the content.
