Agenda and Notes

  1. Clarify support (or lack thereof) for "mutable-head"-style extensions

Notes

  1. MAY have 'extensions' dir
    • Agreed
    • Interest in a shorter version (e.g. 'ext'), but... no
  2. What should we specify related to what goes into the 'extensions' dir within the Object Root?
    • Notion of "namespaces" related to extensions
    • These namespaces would be sub-directory names within the 'extensions' directory
    • Language: Extensions should have their own sub-directory in 'extensions' which MUST correspond to the namespace defined in the extension specification
    • Should we require a namaste file for extensions in Object root?
  3. What should we specify related to what goes into the Storage Root?
    • Plain-text version of extension in Storage Root
    • This would be a copy/paste of the extension .md file in GitHub
    • Need to provide naming convention: extension-mutable-head-1.0.txt
    • Use a JSON document?
      • Configuration/JSON? file may exist in storage root for use by extension-specific validators
  4. Extension specifications should be versioned and tied to given OCFL versions
    • Extensions MUST NOT modify any part of the OCFL Object outside of the 'extensions' dir
  5. Note, not all Objects will be using the extension... even if the extension is defined at the Storage Root
  6. ACTION: A.Woods to create a ticket to update the spec to support the notion of 'extensions'
