[Dspace-general] dc.format.extent,...

[Claudia Jürgen]

Hi Lucie,

the creation of dc.format.extent and dc.format.mimetype as item metadata 
was abandoned with Version 1.4.1 as this is bitstream and no item metadata.
It leeds to trouble (misinformation) if you got multiple bitstreams 
and/or delete/change existing bitstreams. E. g. you got the files:
foo1
foo2

and the 4 generated metadata:
dc.format.mimetype = ...
dc.format.mimetype = ...
dc.format.extent = ...
dc.format.extent = ...

At this point one can not tell which metadata (as it belongs to the 
item) refers to which bitstream. So recreating the old behaviour might 
not be a good idea.


Hope that helps

Claudia
