Re: [EP-tech] EPrints and OCFL

Hi Yuri,
No solution from me (sorry), but I would also be interested in this.

I think OCFL, with the 'Mutable HEAD' extension (https://ocfl.github.io/extensions/0005-mutable-head.html) could be used as an EPrints Storage plugin, allowing content and revision XML to be stored alongside the content.
It may also be possible to put some usage stats in there too, although with the current volume of hits I'm not sure whether this is a sensible idea or not!

Cheers,
John

Hi!

  I'm managing an archive which uses OCFL as low level storage. I like
it very much, it is a standard, preservation oriented, support
extensions and backward compatibility. I would like to hear if EPrints
are planning to implement it in the future, at least as an import/export
format. I see there's no specific Perl implementation of OCFL.
