<DIV><SPAN class=723111410-15042010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Attached is my view
on how we should structure the archive to support multiple versions. It
divides into 2 main sections, the first is a fairly lengthy summary of why this
problem isn't solved yet in terms of the differences between the ESG datanode
software and the DRS document. The second section lays out the proposed
structure and how we would manage symbolic links and moving from one version to
another. I restrict myself to directories below the atomic dataset
level. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=723111410-15042010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots of issues are
left to resolve, in particular how we ESG publisher can make use of this
structure. I'll try and draw attention to these points in the agenda for
Tuesday's telco which will follow later today.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
