To-Do List – What remains to be done!

Testing Special Cases during Restore/Replace

The below special cases need further testing, especially when performing a "Restore" or "Replace". Mostly, these are just notes for Tim (and other developers), to ensure that all these various "edge" cases can be restored properly (or perhaps not restored properly, if the decision is made that it needs not be restored).

As each special case is implemented, we can check off the item in the below list. Special cases which have been fully tested & implemented are marked with a . Feel free to add more special cases to this listing, if we missed anything.

Item Restoration/Replacement

Special Cases

• Restore existing Deposit License from AIP – i.e. do not add a new license (or change the license) during restore/replace
• Restore existing CC License(s)
• Restore item mappings to multiple collections (for items which are mapped to several collections)
• Restore withdrawal state
• Restore embargo state
• Restore permissions & roles (user/group permissions), if possible
• Options to restore just metadata or just particular bitstreams/bundles?
• Will not restore items which have not made it into the "archived" state. In other words, at this time, there are no plans to restore items which are still in an approval workflow (WorkflowItems) or items which are unfinished submissions (WorkspaceItems). WorkspaceItems and WorkflowItems are never exported as AIPs.

Collection Restoration/Replacement

Special Cases

• Restore permissions & roles (user/group permissions), if possible
  • Restore Workflow approval groups
• Restore Collection-specific license
• Restore Collection's Item Template?
• Restore Collection's content source info? (e.g. OAI-Harvesting Collections versus normal Collections)

Community Restoration/Replacement

Special Cases

• Restore permissions & roles (user/group permissions), if possible

Admin UI work

As part of the CurationTaskProposal (led by Richard Rodgers & MIT), a new Curation Framework is in the works. This Curation Framework will have a Command Line interface initially. However, the goal for 1.7, is to also have Administrative UI tools which are able to kick off various "curation tools". Among these curation tools will be the ability to export/import AIPs via the Admin UI.

Notes on AIP ingest speed & improving it

Some very basic ingestion speed tests were performed on a set of 26 AIPs (which represented a Community containing a Collection containing 24 Items). These tests found that, by default, the parsing/ingest settings are currently not optimized for speed.
