Introduction
Analysis of the standard core architecture
| Module | Technical points | Application scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging specification | Container-level/object-level dual-mode packaging, ZIP package structure contains mimetype verification file | Cross-system resource packaging and transmission |
| Storage solution | Support file system/relational database/graph database three storage methods | Long-term preservation of massive digital resources |
| Exchange interface | 9 types of standardized APIs, compliant with SRU/SRW protocols | Heterogeneous system data interoperability |
In-depth Analysis of Packaging Technology
The standard innovatively proposes a dual-track packaging mechanism of container-level exchange information package and object-level exchange information package:
- Container-level packaging: Applicable to composite resources such as books, including a complete metadata chain (manifest.xml) and media file directory structure
- Object-level packaging: For a single media object, it is simplified to a flat structure of instance file + data file
Typical packaging example
Container_001.zip/ ├── mimetype ├── META-INF/ │ ├── container.xml │ └── dcoomanifest.xml └── CONTAINER/ ├── dcoo_rdf_instance.xml └── dataFile/ ├── audio/example.mp3 └── image/cover.jpg
Comparison of Storage Solutions
| Storage Type | Advantages | Limitations | Applicable Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| File System | Simple implementation, supports relative paths | Low query efficiency | <100,000 objects |
| Relational Database | Perfect transaction support | Complex table structure | 100,000-1,000,000 objects |
| Graph database | Naturally supports RDF graph model | High operation and maintenance cost | >1 million objects |
Exchange interface implementation guide
The 9 core interfaces defined by the standard constitute a complete service system:
- listIdentifiers: Resource identifier retrieval based on time range
- getEIP: Supports ZIP format exchange package download
- resRetrieve: Metadata retrieval compliant with the SRU protocol
Interface call example
HTTP GET /listContentURL?iri=urn:example:book_001 Response: <url value="http://server/data/image/cover.jpg"/> <url value="http://server/data/pdf/chapter1.pdf"/>
Standard Evolution Analysis
This standard inherits and develops from the OAIS reference model. The key innovations include:
- Defines the physical implementation specification of the DCOO ontology model in the Chinese environment for the first time
- Break through the limitations of traditional METS encapsulation and introduce RDF instance file storage solution
- Establish a metadata interoperability channel between the publishing industry and the library field
