Howdy all, I've been toying with the idea of embedding DOI's in all our digital assets and possibly inserting/updating other metadata as well. However, doing this would alter checksums created using normal methods. Is there a practical/easy way to checksum only the objects themselves without the metadata? If the metadata in a tiff or other kind of file is modified, it does nothing to the actual object. Since providing more complete metadata within objects makes them more usable/identifiable and might simplify migrations down the road, it seems like this wouldn't be a bad way to go. Thanks, kyle
