A summer student will work on statistics. You can see the proposal on the wiki: <a href="http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_Statistics">here </a><br><br>Currently the statistics AddOn package by MiniHo University has more advanced stats than the standard that comes with dspace. Their package is based on pljava which we were unable to get up and running on our production server. We had no problems on Ubuntu though. Infos is on the wiki
<a href="http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php//StatisticsAddOn">there</a><br><br>There are two customizations I did for our repository at Georgia Tech.<br>Neither has anything to do with analyzing browsing behavior of users.
<br><br>One customization was to add google analytics triggers to the site. The patch for the JSP interface is available as <a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1712972&group_id=19984&atid=319984">
patch 1712972.</a> This is rather easy to do and gives nice info about where users come from, how long they stay, .... Not very useful in terms of finding out which collections, searches, ... are more or less popular. <br>
<br>The other customization to the default statistics involved counting activity from a list of predefined IP address towards NON-USER. In our case I added google, elsevier, and our own IP addresses to the NON-USER list. You can see this at
<br> <a href="http://smartech.gatech.edu/statistics">count USER and NON USER activity on SMARTECH at Georgia Tech</a><br>This was an ad hoc solution for our purposes. There is a<a href="https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1686963&group_id=19984&atid=319984">
patch 1686963</a> but I recommend to wait what the summer student comes up with.<br><br>Monika<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Leonie Hayes</b> <<a href="mailto:l.hayes@auckland.ac.nz">
