Use Case 22 - Link/Citation Report for Owner

Revisions

View document revision history.

Goal

User can get report of links and citations to objects they own (also can view this as a referrer log).

Summary

A data owner would benefit from having a report that indicated the connections to objects they own. Within DataONE, this could be handled by examining the object associations contained in the system metadata. For external references to content, DataONE could provide summaries generated from log reports, though with much greater uncertainty.
