Thanks Amy and Stephen for your answers! We have a couple use cases where I think what you suggest will work - keep the metadata and record the expungement event in it, even though we are actually deleting the content (not inactivating it). The 2 cases are when we legally have to get rid of the content (e.g. if we were to inadvertently collect child porn. during a web crawl), or when we want to clean out large amounts of test data. We also support "basic" deletions where we do something similar to you Amy - we flag the content as deleted so that it can't be accessed by end users but allow it to be restored if necessary.

We have a third odd case where we're actually doing a metadata-only expungement. Odd case I know but we're in the middle of a really big metadata migration between our old and new repository and need to be able to recover from errors. The idea is that if we find a mistake in the metadata migration for any set of content we'll be able to get rid of the metadata for that content in the new repository and rerun the migration on it. In this case there's nowhere to record the event but we may be able to log it.

This has been helpful.

thanks,
Andrea
