Title (Goal) | Support for configurable OAI deletion policies |
---|---|
Primary Actor | Repository Manager, Harvester |
Scope | Data access |
Level | High |
Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens) | OAI specification describes three tracking levels for record deletion: no, persistent and transient. While NO and TRANSIENT do not provide any useful information about deleted records, PERSISTENT explicitly states the deletion of a previously existing record and thus helps to keep a harvesters database update to date. The repository should allow to configure the deletion behavior according to OAI specification. |
