From richard.jones at ub.uib.no Thu Sep 1 07:04:43 2005 From: richard.jones at ub.uib.no (Richard Jones) Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2005 13:04:43 +0200 Subject: [Dspace-general] Possible User Group meeting in Bergen Message-ID: <1125572683.4599.313.camel@ubbtilv067115> Hi All, At the University of Bergen we are investigating the possibility of having a small DSpace User Group meeting in the early parts of next year. This would probably be attached to an IR workshop with a focus on DSpace as the platform for providing such a service. We are aware that there will be part of a more general meeting in Australia dedicated to DSpace in February and the main DSUG sometime in the Autumn in Beijing. Therefore we were suggesting that we place a meeting somewhere in between these two for a few reasons: 1) For people who may not have been able to go to Australia 2) For people who may not be able to go to Beijing 3) For people who just can't get enough of DSpace! Basically we are interested to see if there would be general support for a meeting here, whether people would like to come, and whether this would clash with anyone else's plans. It has also been suggested that we focus the meeting on a smaller number of topics than the main DSUG, so we are interested in what areas of the system people might like to hear more about, or study in greater depth? Your thoughts and comments welcome and encouraged.

We have documents which replace earlier documents, but we do not wish to remove those original items. We are using the relation.replaces and relation.isreplacedby qualifiers. However, our current method of keeping and displaying different versions of an item is rather clumsy, and may lead to confusion. See: http://smartech.gatech.edu:8282/dspace/handle/1853/3199//browse-title We'd like users to first find the latest version, and only get to previous versions via a URI citation or the relation.replaces field (also the URI). I know this topic has been discussed previously -- has anyone implemented it? Thanks!

We had developed a prototype for a pathobiology image repository for veterinary science. Our approach involved a dSpace repository with three images per submission: one thumbnail, one jpeg for presentation quality, and one TIFF for research quality. We opted to supplement that with a custom-designed user interface that would offer our primary users the specific interface they required. In other words, all users would have access to the images through DSpace but a closed community would have the option of retrieving images from DSpace through a distinct interface.

In-Reply-To: <6.2.3.4.0.20050930110455.03b32860@post.queensu.ca> Message-ID: <20050930192220.4954B1341D5@sparta.rice.edu> We ended up starting with some rather "rich" collections that are image intensive when we brought our DSpace up. That wasn't my original intent (was planning to first migrate some existing department level publication databases into the system), but that's where the most urgent need was. One of the image collections was in an existing filemaker pro db. We imported it (3000 images) and now have restricted access to it because of copyright issues. Our public affairs office asked if they could start putting their digital images of Rice into DSpace so they could start to be managed; they haven't been organized/managed at all to date and there are thousands of images. We have a digital library project, Travelers in the Middle East Archive (TIMEA) where we're imaging a lot of interesting things and are using DSpace for archiving those assets, then using them in other applications for teaching/learning. That group is now organizing and submitting the images on their own. There are, of course, metadata issues with these collections that we're continuing to work through. But they're there. You can go to dspace.rice.edu to look at some of these. regards, geneva ^~^ (o o) /'`v`'\ who? |'''''| |\\'//| """ Geneva Henry Executive Director, Digital Library Initiative Rice University Fondren Library -- MS-44 P.O.
