• Deep-dive similarities and differences between OCFL and Moab
  1. Advantage Moab:
  • File size
  • File date-times
  • “fileInstance”s for renaming files
  • versionAdditions.xml
  • fileInventoryDifferences.xml
  • One never changes files in a Moab, addition of a version is simply addition of new files (in OCFL one has to update versions.jsonld)
  2. Advantage OCFL:
  • Single file in root for understanding package structure
  • “Packaging” (tar / zip) built into spec
  • Self-describing version numbers (e.g. “This object is OCFL v.1.0”)
  • Provision for object provenance logging in the object (but not of the object).
