User version 1 PURL and citation #3498

Closed amyehodge closed 4 months ago

amyehodge commented 5 months ago

Consider how to handle version 1 for citation purposes.

The use case is that when a user creates the first version, they may use the canonical purl (sans version info) in a publication. But if they create later versions, how does someone coming from a link in the publication know that what was actually referenced was the v1?

We could create the /v1 PURL immediately and include that URL in the preferred citation. Then, when new versions are created, we could automatically update the link in the auto-generated citation so that it matches the new version.

I didn't realize I had opened this ticket. This is now covered by #3521
