<font size=3>I agree that this capability is a significant need.
Not only for learning objects but for other types of documents.<br>

Hi,<br><br>
=20<br><br>
I was just reading through Beatrix's post and MacKenzie's reply
about<br>
replacing an already submitted item (and thus maintaining its
handle).<br>
Am I to conclude that the only way to do this, then, is through the<br>
import process? =20<br><br>
=20<br><br>
This is a significant need, I believe, if DSpace is to become a<br>
functioning repository for reusable learning objects RLO's).
We're<br>
getting ready to engage a few communities here about this, but it
seems<br>
that these RLO's are too dynamic (i.e. they're constantly being
updated<br>
by their creators) to expect communities to go through the full<br>
submission process each time they make an update. =20<br><br>
=20<br><br>
Also, where is there documentation about the import process? =20<br><br>
=20<br><br>
Thanks,=20<br><br>
