PID Cache Manager Service

Status[edit]

Work in Progress (version 0.1.0 in test).

Description[edit]

  • The role of the PID cache service is to avoid unavailability of the GWDG PID Handle Service.
  • The PID cache service is used as alternative to the PIDManager service offered by eSciDoc core infrastructure.
  • The PID cache service holds pre-created PIDs which are assigned to an eSciDoc content resource by calling the Object Handler methods (assignObjectPid() and assignVersionPid()).

Opereations Overview[edit]

  • The PID cache service provides a REST interface:
    • GET: /<service>/<prefix>/<suffix> - resolve
    • PUT: /<service>/<prefix>/<suffix> - registration at PID system (Not implemented)
    • POST: /<service>/<prefix>/ - identifier generation and registration at PID system
    • DELETE: /<service>/<prefix>/<suffix> - delete (Not allowed)
  • <service>: the url of the pid cache service (for instance: dev-pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/pidcache/handle)
  • <prefix>/<suffix>: the method called:
    • /read/view : Visualization of a PID.
    • /read/search: Search of a PID.
    • /write/create: Creation of a PID.
    • /write/update: Update of a PID.
