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()).
