The governance board was convened to draft a recommendation for governance and funding mechanisms to advance the DSpace community and ensure that the technology platform remains sound, protecting the investment that institutions have made. At the meeting, the board: * Drafted a statement of mission * Made a decision to form an independent foundation and initiated a planning process to accomplish that end * Formed an interim steering committee chaired by Chris Rusbridge (Director, Digital Curation Centre, UK) * Addressed the need for a technical working group and initiated a road map and white paper process to support that effort More on each of these items and other details of the meeting will be distributed shortly on DSpace-General and posted to the DSpace wiki at http://wiki.dspace.org/DspaceGovernance. Stay tuned! ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can give you a real quick overview but not sure how much that will help. The application log that you find in $DSPACE/log/dspace.log logs all the application activity. A normal entry would look like: 2006-04-10 10:19:35,146 INFO org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet @ anonymous:session_id=4F10DBD78B55D1F008AD829EBEE26F44:view_item:handle=1030.58/2762 where: 2006-04-10 10:19:35,146 is the date/time of the event INFO is the log level (which can be changed in $DSPACE/config/log4j.properties) org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.DSpaceServlet is the Java class which generated the event anonymous is the current user id session_id=4F10DBD78B55D1F008AD829EBEE26F44 is the browser session id view_item is the event (so in this case an anonymous user was viewing an item with a handle of 1030.58/2762 Most entries are of this form so the log is fairly structured except when error conditions occur, then you'll usually see a Java stack traced logged. While the dspace.log file is probably the only one you'll use often, there are a couple of others to be aware of: $DSPACE/log/handle-server.log - logs handle server connections $DSPACE/log/handle-plugin.log - log generated by the handle plugin. You'll probably never look at either of these unless you're having problems with the handle server $DSPACE/handle contains a couple of handle logs as well, error.log and access.log $TOMCAT/log/catalina.out - contains any Tomcat messages, again you probably won't look at this unless you're having trouble with the web server. Hope that helps. Scott.

I wanted to announce a DSpace tutorial that Dorothea Salo and I are presenting at the upcoming JCDL 2006 at the University of North Carolina (June 11-15). The tutorial is titled "Making DSpace Your Own" and will take place from 9:00am-12:30pm on Sunday, June 11. We will be concentrating on helping those of you newer to DSpace get a better grasp on configuring and customizing DSpace for your own institutions. Registration for JCDL is now open on the JCDL 2006 Website (http://www.jcdl2006.org). There's also a brief online description of this tutorial available at: http://jcdl2006.org/program/making-dspace-your-own/ A more detailed description of the tutorial follows this email. If anyone has any questions, feel free to forward them our way! We will be attempting to make any slides for this tutorial available after JCDL, but we'd encourage you to join us in person if you can! Tim Donohue (tdonohue at uiuc.edu) and Dorothea Salo (dsalo at gmu.edu) ========================================= Tutorial: Making DSpace Your Own Abstract: Starting an institutional repository on top of DSpace? Using BioMedCentral's new OpenRepository service? Get control over its look and feel! Learn to modify DSpace to reflect your institution's branding, and improve usability for both submitters and users. Learn some of the basics to making your DSpace installation unique with customized code or functionality. While you?re at it, learn about the DSpace developer community and how you can give back. This introductory tutorial assumes little to no knowledge of DSpace or Java. Familiarity with basic Unix commands, FTP, and HTML recommended. General Outline: - Why customize DSpace? - Before you start: precautions - Where DSpace code lives - Making easier changes - to page text (Messages.properties) - to look-and-feel (CSS) - to the configuration (dspace.cfg) - to submission forms (input-forms.xml) - Introducing the DSpace developer community - Why contribute to DSpace? - DSpace Patch submission guidelines - Applying an existing patch - Editing a JSP in DSpace ? looking at basic Java logic - Questions & Answers Target audience: Librarians and staff planning or running DSpace installations who want more control over the technology. Introductory to intermediate-level. Basic Unix, FTP, and HTML familiarity useful, though not required. No Java, JSP, or CSS knowledge assumed. Learning objectives: - Understand and justify spending effort on DSpace customization - Protect against breaking DSpace during customization - Understand which parts of DSpace are easily changed and which aren't - Know where to go to modify specific aspects of a DSpace installation - Know how to make changes live on the server - Understand why the DSpace community is important, and how to give back - Learn where to go for more information or help when customizing DSpace - Learn the basic structure of JSPs in DSpace - Learn how to apply custom DSpace patches to your local DSpace installation Presenter bios: Dorothea Salo is the Digital Repository Services Librarian at George Mason University; she runs Mason Archival Repository Service (http://mars.gmu.edu/), GMU's DSpace installation.

The default for this is "en_US". Because it has become confusing for us, I am considering putting everything to blank "--". Or, is there some use for this language value on each element of the Dublin Core? I consider that, 1) there is already a DC element in the record for language; ex., - language = chi - language.iso = zh_HK So, why must there be a specific & repeated language indication for every DC element in the record? 2) What to put into the language value on an individual DC element when it uses a Romanization scheme of Chinese, such as Hanyu Pinyin (LC standard)? Should I put "zh"? If so, will there be confusion when one record holds both Chinese vernacular script, and Romanized Hanyu Pinyin? Both of these will show "zh", yes? 3) This language value on each DC element, in the case of "en_US, en_UK, & en_HK", or in, "fr_FR & fr_CA", only indicates orthographical differences, but not encoding of script type nor publication place? But in the case of zh_TW, zh_HK, & zh_ZH (or zh_CN?), this is not relevant? The zh codes do not indicate A) encoding schemes (BIG5, GB, EACC, CCCII, etc) on vernacular script, nor B) "simplifed character" or "traditional character" on vernacular script, nor C) type of Romanization used on romanization. 4) to go to an extreme, what codes would I show for a Japanese title shown in these 7 various representations? - Kanji - Hiragana - Katagana - Romanized - Arabicized (using Arabic script to show Japanese pronounciation) - Cyrillcized (using Cyrillic script to show Japanese pronunciation) - translated into Eng Or, should we make the zh codes meaningful by creating a value such as zh_HK.utf8, Or, zh_HK.pinyin?

(but others may call ?Request Eprint? or ?Email Eprint?, etc.). This first version of the Add-on (see description below) is available at: http://wiki.dspace.org/RequestCopy. As we plan to release a new version (including a third option/reply ? Change Access to Open Access) in the coming weeks, we will welcome comments and suggestions from early adopters or testers. Please send your comments and suggestions to: repositorium at sdum.uminho.pt What is the DSpace Request Copy Add-on? It was recently suggested by Stevan Harnad that we develop a "request eprint by email" feature for DSpace, similar to one that has recently been implemented in GNU Eprints for deposits whose full-text access privileges are set to Restricted Access (RA) rather than Open Access (OA), in order to tide over any RA period with facilitated email access. The Request Copy Add-on is this feature developed for DSpace 1.3.2. The purpose of this feature is to increase both the content deposited in Institutional Repositories (IRs) and its immediate usability by providing a way to accommodate the (frequently unfounded) worries of authors and their institutions about copyright infringement during any publisher embargo periods on public self-archiving, by creating a semi-automated mechanism whereby would-be users can request and authors can email an individual copy of a full-text deposited with access set as RA. This feature will be very important for advancing OA if universities and other research institutions adopt the Generic Model for an Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandate ( http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/71-guid.html). In this model, depositing immediately (upon acceptance for publication) is mandatory whereas setting deposit immediately to OA is merely encourages, leaving the decision up to the author. This is how the ?Request Copy? feature works: 1- In all non-OA items (we consider non-OA all DSpace items/files that have access different from Anonymous) there is a link to a ?Request a Copy to the author? Form, activated in the View/Open link and also on the ?Restricted Access/Request-a-copy? logo that we added at the side. 2- The requester must enter his/her email address and name, and may add a comment, and press a ?Request-a-copy? button. 3 ? An email is sent to the depositor (either one of the authors, or their designee). The text of the mail is configurable (in our case we made an express statement to forward the mail to the author(s) if the depositor is not author). The email message contains a token. 4 ? Using that token, the author may reply, by just clicking in one of the two buttons available: ?Send Copy?, ?Don?t send copy?. 5 ? After choosing the Send/Don?t send reply, the author is presented with one of the two message models (also configurable and editable) for the reply. Finally, the author must hit the Send button, and the message (including the file(s) if the author chose the Send option) is sent to the requester.

Message-ID: <5.2.1.1.2.20060418094759.024cbee8@hesiod> Dear DSpace community, I am writing with an important update on staffing for the DSpace project at HP and MIT. First, after five years and many great contributions to the DSpace project, Rob Tansley is moving on from HP Labs. He is going to Google Labs in New York, and will be leaving us in late April. Rob says that he hopes to keep a toe in the DSpace water, but his attention will inevitably be diverted to new things so we can expect to hear much less often from him after this month. I think Rob plans to send a personal note about his departure soon. Second, I would like to welcome a new face to the DSpace technical community, Mark Diggory has just joined MIT as the lead developer for DSpace at MIT. Mark brings a lot of experience working on open source projects at Harvard University and the World Bank, and he will be an active contributor to the DSpace open source project. Finally, MIT and HP are continuing to discuss the outcomes of the DSpace Federation Advisory Board meeting a couple of weeks ago, and are making some progress with the new groups that were called for (i.e. the interim steering committee and technical working group). I hope to have an update for you on that quite soon. If you have questions please feel free to contact either of us directly, and best wishes for the user group meeting in Bergen this week, MacKenzie Smith Associate Director for Technology MIT Libraries Nick Wainwright Research Director, Digital Media System Department HP Labs From nick.wainwright at hp.com Wed Apr 19 13:13:43 2006 From: nick.wainwright at hp.com (Wainwright, Nick (HP Labs, Bristol, UK)) Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 18:13:43 +0100 Subject: [Dspace-general] Opening for Research Scientist to work on DSpace at HP Labs, Bristol, UK Message-ID: HP Labs has an opening for a research scientist to work at HP Labs in Bristol, UK, http://www.hpl.hp.com/ on the DSpace project http://www.dspace.org/ The DSpace digital repository system captures, stores, indexes, preserves, and distributes digital research material. DSpace is an open source project that was initiated as a research project by HP Laboratories and MIT Libraries and is now in use at many institutions worldwide. HP Laboratories is HP's corporate research organisation and employs over 600 research staff worldwide. More than 150 research staff are employed in HP's European Research Centre in Bristol, UK, working in long term research on behalf of HP in many different areas including digital media management, security, grid computing, mobility, and digital imaging. Within the Digital Media Systems Research Department at HP Labs we have an opening for a research scientist to continue our work on the DSpace project. Responsibilities will include working with DSpace projects world wide, developing specific modules for DSpace for these projects, working with the DSpace user community, and participating in the DSpace Technical Committee to further develop the DSpace platform. Candidates should have a background in Computer Science or related discipline, have a good grasp of software architecture, be fluent developers in Java and related open source technologies, and have the ability to develop code for and manage open source projects. The successful candidate will probably be familiar with the DSpace platform and/or other open source digital library projects and have an interest in technologies in the field of digital content repositories and digital content preservation. This will be a one year contract position based in HP Labs in Bristol, UK, and would be suitable for an individual who is perhaps completing or has completed a postgraduate degree and is seeking a period of work in an industrial research laboratory.

A person using DSpace always has to go through the item record to access the object. Since the item record has much fuller metadata than you could hope to incorporate in the filename, it seems there wouldn't be much benefit in trying to include some limited metadata within the filename. Users won't be browsing or searching by filename. This may be an issue when a user wants to save a copy of the file. Some folks may find it helpful to have a few hints in the filename, but different folks may want different hints, e.g., some may want the author and year, some would like the name of journal, others would like the subject area, etc. Maybe it's best to let the user decide what to name the file as they save it (?) On the other hand, if you're trying to encourage your scientists to submit items to an IR, it might be easier for them if filenames have some elements that help distinguish one article from another. Just a thought...

As long as you have it recorded in the item metadata then you have it cpatured (and in a more meaningful and useful way than an internal filenaming scheme). On previous projects I have worked on the only time any meaning would be put into filenames (besides what made sense to the creator who named it) was where content is being managed at the file level (i.e. no database, no lookup tables, no higher level management services/APIs, etc). Besides which, DSpace renames the file anyway on ingest, the filename is stored as bitstream metadata. So unless you have any internal requirements (or desire) to do so or have any functionality you're building that requires a particular file naming scheme (never a good idea if you can help it IMHO, and we haven't come across a need thus far) I wouldn't stress about it. Scott.

The nature of this email is to introduce myself to the community and give you an opportunity to learn about my background. For the last 6 years I've worked as a senior software developer on the Virtual Data Center project at the Harvard MIT Data Center (Now a part of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science). In this role I worked with directors, software developers and system administrators of HMDC to architect and develop the Virtual Data Center, a turn-key web application not too dissimilar to DSpace in concept and technology, and yet significantly different in design, architecture and subject domain. The VDC is a Social Science digital library solution providing subsetting and statistical analysis capabilities on datasets. It is a technologically heterogeneous web application based on the following tools (Apache Tomcat, Struts, PostGresql, Cheshire, the R statistical engine, Perl, Apache HTTPD, OpenLDAP, CNRI Handle Services and OAI Client/Gateways). While there is significant overlap in base technology, the design of the VDC is quite different to that of DSpace. One of my current interests outside of my work at MIT is a comparison of these digital library implementations to seek out avenues for collaboration and interoperability, specifically in the area of storage and sharing of statistical datasets in DSpace. The core metadata standard used by the VDC is the (Data Documentation Initiative) In this regard I continue be involved as a member of the DDI Alliance and seek to work with this standards group to mature the DDI standard to be a useful addition to other metadata standards such as METS, Dublin Core and RDF. My first priority at MIT will be on the DSpace at MIT experience; working with production staff, researchers and librarians to tailor DSpace to meet their needs. Followed close behind this, I will be contributing to DSpace as an active community member; becoming involved with administrative, technical and development issues around DSpace. I have strong interests in seeing the DSpace Federation become scalable and self sustaining and view myself as an advocate in support of the formation of an institutionally neutral DSpace Federation. I look forward to becoming more familiar with all the developers and contributors within the DSpace community. Please feel free to drop me an email anytime.

Apart from the many technical points we are still working on, we are also considering a temporary solution to content provision to our disabled users. Our pilot phase includes providing access to our Masters' Dissertations which aren't at present 100% accessible. We are ready to offer our disabled users an alternative format if required as a short term solution. How have other institutions addressed the accessibility issue in relation to student submitted works? Our long term plan is to have students using specific Word(R) templates created by staff for their dissertations and theses.

Specifically, I would like any advice on where to include vocabulary terms which describe the educational level, difficulty, assessment, etc. aspects of learning objects. I realize that the DC element set does now include some of these (audience and instructional method), but some are not explicitly defined (e.g., difficulty; learning outcomes). My first idea is to either just include them in Description, or create specific local refinements of Description. That way, the OAI harvesters would simply put the terms there, and they could be keyword searchable. Does anyone else have a better idea? Also, in terms of thesauri for the vocabulary terms, my thinking is to use the ones developed by GEM (the Gateway to Educational Materials). Would a different one be more widely recognized, such as ERIC? This needs to be pretty simplistic, since the metadata will be generated by the submitters and probably not be edited subsequently.
