=Topics=

PubMan@MDNamespace changes

 * what has been changed in the metadata?
 * namespaces
 * some metadata element names (publication.creator.person.organization.organization-name => publication.creator.person.organization.title(dc), publication.creator.organization.organization-name => publication.creator.person.organization.title(dc) )
 * enum values (all except for "invitation-status" metadata) are turned into URIs
 * CONE identifiers (still open if we will turn them into URIs)


 * Search&Export REST interface
 * will be backwards compatible, will also serve the old version of the profile (backward transformation)
 * also lucene indexing stylesheet will include generation of the old index publication.creator.organization.organization-name and the new index publication.creator.organization.title


 * we will not handle both old and new versions in PubMan, only the new version will be handled in future
 * if in future there would be such large activities then we will handle all profiles in use


 * migration procedure
 * will run on all items and container affected by the changed profiles
 * will run on contexts (change PubMan Admin descriptors with allowed genre types to new URI values)
 * will run for 1.1 core-service for certain


 * for more information on actual state of the profile and schemas see
