Interface MCRNISSBuilder

All Known Implementing Classes:

MCRNISSBuilderDateCounter, MCRNISSBuilderFL

public interface MCRNISSBuilder

Implementations of this interface provide different strategies to generate a NISS (namespace specific string) for a new URN. Each subnamespace configuration can have its own instance. A NISS must be a unique ID within the subnamespace. MCR.URN.SubNamespace.[ConfigID].NISSBuilder=[Class], for example MCR.URN.SubNamespace.Essen.NISSBuilder=org.mycore.services.urn.MCRNISSBuilderDateCounter
