PID Cache Manager Service

Status

Work in Progress (version 0.1.0 in test).

Description

• The PID cache service is a client to the GWDG PID Handle Service.
• The PID cache service is used as an alternative to the PIDManager service offered by eSciDoc core infrastructure (PID Service without pre-cached PIDs).
• The PID cache service holds pre-created PIDs which are assigned to an eSciDoc content resource by calling the Item/Container Handler methods (assignObjectPid(), assignVersionPid() or assignContentPid()).

Operations Overview

Operation	Status	Input	Output	Description
create	implemented	URL:String	String	Scope:Public Assign a PID to an URL.
update	implemented	URL: String PID(handler): String	String	Scope:Public Update a PID with a new URL.
view	implemented	PID(handler):String	String	Scope:Public Retrieve a PID (If GWDG service unavailable, can only retrieve PID that are waiting in cache to be updated at the GWDG).
search	implemented	URL:String	String	Scope:Public Search for a PID (If GWDG service unavailable, can only search for PID that are waiting in cache to be updated at the GWDG). Implements only the search by URL so far. Might be extended.
