Option(s) for creating Digital Objects pre-populated with specified and/or inherited metadata values

What is needed?

Option(s) for creating Digital Objects pre-populated with specified and/or inherited metadata values

A) Digital Object Template

• Users create a Template for a particular type of Digital Object, pre-populated with specified metadata values
• Example use case:
  • When creating a Collection for a particular Newspaper, users could select to use a Digital Object template for ADOs with a type of ‘NewspaperIssue’ containing metadata (such as Publisher, Subjects) common to all issues in this Newspaper Collection

And/or:

B) Option to inherit metadata values from Parent Objects/Collections

• Users could choose to pre-populate new Digital Objects added to a Collection (or other type of Parent-Child relationship setup) with metadata values from the Parent
• Example use case:
  • When creating a Collection for a particular Newspaper, all new/added (child) ADOs with a type of ‘NewspaperIssue’ would inherit certain common metadata (such as Publisher, Subjects) from the Parent Newspaper Collection

@DiegoPino and @pcambra, placing these both together for now, to keep the discussion about different approaches to this topic rolling. What are your thoughts?

OK! This sounds like fun

So for this I need:

1. A generic metadata injector for any new Object (into the Widget probably)
2. A configurable Source
3. A Cleaner to remove non sense
4. Correct inheritance (that is easy)
5. A config form to set this up. Actually all this can be also Metadata of the Collection itself (means the Collection stores what it can share with others)
6. An "Ingest" into this collection button with some triggers (and a button/Task link) on each Object that we allow so (Newspapers, collections, etc)

Cool!

Let's talk about this one next week. It will improve a lot of things. RE: larger discussion -> Collection managment: maybe time to reply to this one?
