If I can use Dspace to run a senarionof sharing data sets.

[Alireza Mosavi Jarrahi]

I am wondering if Dspace might be the right tool for my purposes. Can someone tell me if the following scenario is supported by Dsapce:

Person A has authored a data set, which he/she cannot easily disclose. Person A uploads the data set to Dspace, but as a private data set that others can only see the meta-data about.
Now Person B is interested in working with the data. He/she contacts Person A via a web-form in Dspace, requesting data access. Person A can now decide whether or not Person B should get access to the data set. If approved, Person B can access the full data on Dspace for a defined period. Dspace logs the entire interaction between the two Persons.
Occasionally, Person A might only want to put an entry into Dspace describing the data set, but without actually uploading the data to Dsapce (a pure meta-data entry). Would the process described above still work for a pure meta-data entry. (In that case, the two would, of course, have to find some other means for actually transferring the data.)

Appreciate if anybody has experienced or has run such a scenario to let me know the how-to

I think this can be done by setting public access on the "Item"
(metadata and a group of files) and no access on the attached files
("Bitstream"s).

This works by emailing a copy to the requester (if approved).

I do not know what is logged by the copy request code.
