Relation to other packaging efforts? #10

Closed mbjones closed 9 years ago

mbjones commented 9 years ago

We are currently exploring the use of the DataONE DataPackage format using using OAI-ORE for the manifest and BagIt for serialization and transport. Related packaging efforts need to be considered. Maybe we can/should support multiple serializations. None of the following really deal with all of the facets of packaging (metadata, container structure, identifier mapping, serialization formats), but each deals with some aspects. Related packaging specifications to consider:

Question for discussion: which serialization(s) shall we support, in addition to ORE/BagIt?

Decision was to continue prototyping with the OAI-ORE / BagIt package format as this has been deployed widely in DataONE. Other serializations can be considered future feature enhancements and should be filed under separate tickets.
