Deleted Record Policy

Title (Goal)Support for configurable OAI deletion policies

Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens)

OAI specification describes three tracking levels for record deletion: no, persistent and transient. While NO and TRANSIENT do not provide any useful information about deleted records, PERSISTENT explicitly states the deletion of a previously existing record and thus helps to keep a harvesters database update to date. The repository should allow to configure the deletion behavior according to OAI specification.
