    Not sure where the best place is to mention this: I want to utilize the built-in versioning of datastreams in FEDORA to make an interface with Memento (http://www.mementoweb.org/). This involves browsing FEDORA objects along RELS-EXT relationships. If we use Memento to browse through time, we will need past versions of RELS-EXT. So far so good. But there does not seem to be any way to query the Resource Index in a time-sensitive way.

    Is there any perspective on dealing with the time dimension in the resource index? Heavy duty for the quad?

      Hi Dirk,

      The usual place for such discussion is the fcrepo-dev list. Info on the user and dev lists can be found here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FCKB/Fedora+Commons+Mailing+Lists I'd encourage you to sign up and post your development/integration-related questions there.

      To answer your question, using the Resource Index wouldn't be the best fit for memento integration currently since it only reflects the latest version of the objects and their components.

      You may be interested to know that Chris Beer at WGBH did a memento integration a while back (which unfortunately never got rolled into the main line). The approach he took was to modify Fedora's REST API so that it respected the memento HTTP headers.

      The related issue in JIRA is here: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/FCREPO-604

      The branch Chris worked on is here: https://github.com/fcrepo/fcrepo/tree/fcrepo-604
