Metadatamanagement: As publisher I want to decide if shadow copies of a project shall be visible for users

Created on 27 Jun 2019  路  9Comments  路  Source: dzhw/metadatamanagement

We discussed that there might come the case when we want to update a project but do not want the older versions to be visible due to data protection concerns (e.g. we made a mistake in our anoymization procedere or #2249 or else).

exmaple:
We might want to take down a version immediately and for good because we provided frequencies of variables we must not provide.

We need to discuss the details and the priorisation (e.g. with regard to #2249).

I see the conceptual relevance of this issue but for now the prio is from my point of view an 8. Please come back to this issue (and me) if the urgency (re)emerges.

@anneweber fyi (anybody else?)

@svietgen

@AndyDaniel1 The subject has reemerged.

@svietgen thank you for the feedback! @rreitmann @rbirkelbach @UteH we should discuss this issue in the next refinement. Until then it would be helpful if you roughly estimate the implementation efforts.

@AndyDaniel1 This is difficult to estimate without further details. Actually I would even implement something different: Delete shadow copies of a project if and only if there is a different released version.

I think I got the intention of hiding/deleting shadow copies. However there are a couple of open questions:

  1. What shall we do with the metadata for that version at Da|ra? We should at least update the version and set it to unavailable...
  2. What do we want to show to the user if she comes with a hidden/deleted version via the DOI?
  3. Can we still offer the hidden/deleted version for adding to the shopping cart?

We have decided to offer a GUI for hiding outdated shadow copies. Shopping cart shall not be possible but I have to investigate how to do this...

  • [x] Dataproviders see on mouseover "this version is currently visible for all users. click here to hide this version" while they should not see the second sentence.
  • [x] "Are you sure you want to make version 3.0.1 of the project cmp2014 availabl for all users again? Data users will then be able to see this version again." -> should be "available"
