2012-05-31: Version 1.0, Correction to URIs in Resource Maps

  • Corrected URI constructs in the resource map data package documents to use resolve rather than getObject URIs so that clients can take advantage of the ObjectLocationList or HTTP status 302 redirect.

2012-05-02: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • Moved MN systemMetadataChanged from MNStorage API to MNAuthorization API so that the method appears in Tier 2 operations.

2012-05-01: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • The MN method getReplica was incorrectly located in Tier 4, effectively preventing any MN implementation except Tier 4 nodes from acting as replication sources. This has been corrected, with the method moved to the MNRead Tier1 API. The method description was updated accordingly.
  • Existing MNStorage.delete renamed to MNStorage.archive, better reflecting its action.
  • New MNStorage.delete operation added for Tier3. This operation does actually delete the content from the node, removing it from DataONE services (the node may choose to also delete the bytes)
  • New CNCore.archive operation performs the same action as MN.archive, except the operation triggers a change notification to all nodes containing the object.
  • New CNCore.delete operation intended to be used only by administrators when there is a requirement to remove an object from the entire DataONE system. Memory of the identifier persists, preventing its reuse.

2012-03-26: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • Corrected typo in REST description for listObjects which had lowercase formatid, corrected to formatId.
  • Corrected order of parameters for getLogRecords, moving start and count to the end to be consistent with other method signatures.

2012-03-26: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

2012-03-25: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • MNCore.getLogRecords() added an optional parameter pid that specifies the prefix of the pid for matching on log records. Support for this parameter is optional, and a MN implementation may silently ignore if present in the request and the node is unable to support the pid prefix filter.
  • CNCore.getLogRecords() added an optional parameter pid that specifies the prefix of the pid for matching on log records. Support for this parameter is currently optional for CNs, and may be ignored if present in the request.
  • MNStorage.GenerateIdentifier() new method added to the MNStorage API. This signature mirrors the CNCore.GenerateIdentifier method and is made available on Member Nodes as they may choose to have an organizational association with an identifier service.

2012-02-27: Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • CNRead.search() clarified how to specify path and query separators in the value of parameter ‘query.’ Change xmit type of parameter ‘query’ to ‘path’, since it contains both path and query (to simplify client conformity testing)

2012-02-24 : dataoneTypes.xsd

  • Correction to the contrabEntry definition
  • Several documentation only changes

2012-02-17 : Version 1.0, MethodCrossReference.xls

  • CNRead.search() clarified that queryType is specified as a URL path parameter and the remainder of the URL (path and query) is passed to the respective search engine as indicated by the value of queryType.

2011-12-19 : Version 1.0

CN APIs

  • CNCore.hasReservation: Updated description: caller owns reservation = HTTP 200; PID reserved but not owned by caller = NotAuthorized; PID in use as an identifier = IdentifierNotUnique; PID not reserved and not in use = NotFound.
  • CNRead.updateSystemMetadata: DEPRECATED. There is no longer a need for this method to be exposed through an external interface.

2011-11-03 Version 1.0.0 Branch

MN APIs

  • MNCore.getLogRecords: change date restriction to >= from Date, and <= toDate
  • MNCore.getCapabilities: removed NotAuthorized exception. Anyone should be able to call this method.
  • MNRead.listObjects: Indicated that if formatId is not present as a filter parameter, then that filter should be ignored. The previous was to default to true.

2011-11-02 Version 1.0.0 Branch

dataoneTypes.xsd

  • https://redmine.dataone.org/projects/d1/repository/revisions/5754
  • Deprecated MNAuthorization.setAccessPolicy. This is replaced by MNStorage.systemMetadataChanged
  • Added MNStorage.systemMetadataChanged, which is called by Coordinating Nodes when system metadata for an object known to be located on the Member Node changes. The Member Node is expected to retrieve the full system metadata document from the Coordinating Node and update the local system properties of the object using information contained in the authoritative system metadata. This is a Tier 2 method. It is accessed on the /dirtySystemMetadata REST endpoint.

2011-11-01 Version 1.0.0 Branch

Exceptions

  • Added a new exception, VersionMistmatch which is raised when there is a version mistmatch between the target of the request and the supplied parameters. e.g. when serialVersion is provided in a call and does not match that of the target.

CN APIs

  • CNAuthorization.setOwner: added serialVersion parameter to method signature. serialVersion is used to indicate which revision the change to system metadata applies to. If the revision in the request does not match the revision in the response, then a VersionMistmatch exception is raised.
  • CNAuthorization.getAccessPolicy: added serialVersion parameter to method signature.
  • CNReplication.setReplicationStatus: added serialVersion parameter to method signature.

2011-10-26 Version 1.0.0 Branch

dataoneTypes.xsd

The following changes were enacted on the dataoneTypes.xsd schema as a result of discussions during the DataONE all-hands meeting held during the week of October 18, 2011.

No further significant changes to dataonetypes.xsd are expected for version 1.0.0 of the DataONE infrastructure.

  • unsigned long “serialversion” element added to the Types.SystemMetadata complex type. The serialVersion value is incremented upon any updates to a system metadata instance, and is used to indicate which is the current version (highest serialVersion is always the latest) of system metadata for an object.
  • “fmtid” change to “formatId” in Types.SystemMetadata complex type
  • “fmtid” change to “formatId” in Types.ObjectFormat complex type
  • “fmtid” change to “formatId” in Types.ObjectInfo complex type
  • email minOccurs change from 1 to 0 in Types.Person complex type
  • boolean “verified” property added to Types.Person complex type. This value is true if the name and email address of the Person have been verified to ensure that the givenName and familyName represent the real person’s legal name, and that the email address is correct for that person and is in the control of the indicated individual. Verification occurs through a established procedure within DataONE as part of the Identity Management system.
