Workflow improvements #287

Open gothub opened 2 years ago

Update the rdataone and dependent packages to enhance ease-of-use and to reduce the amount of user effort and to reduce the amount of effort required to achieve a desired outcome.

Getting the data for a given Solr result is a great example of a workflow we might target with this work. See this Discussion, specifically the answer, how much explanation it takes, and how the answer is still incomplete despite its length.

Agreed. That said, in the case of the "download all objects for a package" case, that is what getPackage was designed for, which should significantly shorten the steps needed (e.g., add the resourceMap field to the SOLR query, and then use it to call /packages/bagit-1.0.0/{resource_map_pid} on the MN. Two majro barriers with this: 1) can't be called on the CN (I think), and 2) as an optional API, only a few repositories implement this API (namely Metacat and GMN nodes).
