Feature request: Download button for research / source data

mweidling opened this issue · 0 comments

Most of the projects want to share their research data (in most cases: XML) with others. This means that they want a button somewhere in TIDO labelled "Download TEI / XML" or the like where users can click on and then they download the respective file.

Currently, we have diverse options for doing this. E.g. in the Ahiqar project, we provide a simple link to a REST API in the Metadata Panel.

Since this is a common requirement, it would be beneficial if TIDO had a out-of-the-box solution for this.

A suggestion could be:

  • require projects to provide their research data in the Content Object sequence with application/xml (most of our projects' research data is XML)
  • if TIDO notices such an Content Object, it creates a download button in the Metadata Panel. The download points to the Content Object's ID which is identical to the URL where the data is hosted

Thoughts, opinions? Of course I'm open to suggestions. :)
