Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Augmenting acs_objects - adding package_id, name, and clarifying other fields

Is there a package that uses multiple package_ids per object_id?

I'm asking because I haven't come across this requirement. As said somewhere above in the thread, the ShareNet code (based on some completely forked OpenACS 4.0 beta) has a table acs_objects_description which contains fields like name, description, intermedia datastore, content_type etc. And package_id and the mapping is strictly 1:1 between acs_objects and acs_objects_description (well, you don't necessarily need an entry in acs_objects_description)

The AIESEC code uses a table called acs_named_objects which was added by Timo and I think they are quite happy with that too.

What would be the attributes of an "object description" for the same object  but with a different package_id?
