I agree this can be made more user-friendly. Even calling it something more descriptive like package.zip
, or datapackage.zip
would be an improvement over just using the resource map's PID.
Some notes...
title
field already contains this information and MetacatUI has already requested it by the time the user clicks the download buttonTitles can be very long and contain special characters, e.g.,
Riparian Shrub expansion: soil analysis data, microbial communities and microarray gene data from the North Slope of Alaska, 2016
We'd have to truncate and possibly modify the titles increase the chance the user doesn't make the connection between what they saw on the web and what they see on their filesystem
I like the idea of using a truncated title rather than the resource map ID. This should be 100% possible since we have a reference to the EML document when downloading (and we're already parsing information out of it).
I'll bring this up on the next development call meeting for a wider discussion.
Val Hendrix reported: I f /v2/packages/application%2Fbagit-097/ is accessed the name of the Zip file should be .zip but instead it is urnuuid.zip. While this is not a show stopper it is not very user friendly.
Currently we are using the package id as the zip file. So using the title of the data set (which will be extracted from the metadata object) is making more sense. However, it may be hard to get the data set title since the diversity of the metadata standards.
We may think about this approach.
