Charge (Adam C)
- Bill, I think I need your help writing this part.
Problem statement
- Digital collection identifiers (Rick)
A long standing issue in the presentation of our digital collections is the lack of a reliable identifier
for the collections themselves. Collections move to new machines, collections change their delivery platform,
and collections change their default behaviors. We need to be able to locate collections reliably over a long period of time and discover aspects of collections for interoperating with other collections.

- A deliverable: A Usage Document that explains how the system can be integrated into CUL collection building (Adam C)
- Monitoring how the handles are used will assist CUL to optimize the way in which we make our colleactions available.
- We recommend that, embedded in mapping metadata, there be an explicit statement of the estimated lifespan of the PID and of the object it represents. This practice will add value to the identifier and help enforce a best practice in lifecycle management of our digital objects. (Bill)
