Audit Trail

Each user that will use the GUI will need to login. They will authenticate with some external server, probably the SB LDAP server. The access control is not really a concern for the DOMS system. As such, all GUI users will have equal and full access to the DOMS repository.

Audit trails, however, are a concern. Each change to a datastream in a data object will, per default Fedora behaivour, create a new version of this datastream, marked with the creation time and the username. For this reason the Fedora operations PurgeObject and PurgeDatastream are blocked, as they destroy the audit trail. Real deletion of information is not possible, but both objects and datastreams can be marked as "deleted", again per standard Fedora behaviour. Any tools working with or on DOMS should respect this flag. The GUI should only concern itself with the most recent version of a datastream.
