| Description |
In most cases, when an aggregator harvests from a repository, there is an implicit trust in the metadata being harvested. In cases where records are transmitted across intermediate hosts, each host in the chain must be trusted to accurately reproduce the record. An aggregator at one end of the chain wants to be able to identify the hosts through which the record has passed. If these intermediate hosts have altered the metadata record, this should be made apparent. |
