- a. “When making a request during a transaction, should the ACL of the HEAD version of the resource be evaluated, or the ACL of the version of the resource that exists in the transaction?”
- Andrew - might make sense to always work against
- Jared - it would require two actions, first updating ACL and then starting transaction and doing work
- BenP - it seems like a special behavior to only work against the HEAD of the ACL versus everything else in the repo
- So treat ACL's as normal, so use the version in the transaction unless this causes significant technical issues
- b. What is the approach we want to take for adding digests to external binaries?
- We talked about this some on Sept 26, Andrew remembers that we wanted fedora to retain fixity for internal binaries. For external, users can add their own. For internal, users can't override the internal digest.
- Fedora has its own internally managed checksum for internal content
- Users can add digests to external content
- Should fedora try to fill in a checksum if none is provided?
- Jared - spec says that ext's must respond to want-digest. So do we need to store it internally? How do we fulfill
Actions
- Aaron Birkland to look explore notion of OCFL client with database as authoritative metadata source + asynchronous writing of the inventory.json file
- David Wilcox will review the NDSA matrix and pull out the concrete technical requirements that could be considered during the Fedora 6 development.
