From ehant at uom.gr Thu Jun 1 03:07:18 2006 From: ehant at uom.gr (Elisavet Chantavaridou) Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 10:07:18 +0300 Subject: [Dspace-general] Document creation date References: Message-ID: <007101c6854a$0885d320$9ad6fbc3@library.uom.gr> Hi Branko, this happens because that specific checkbox controls 3 DC fields (as far as I know). These are: a.. date.issued b.. publisher c.. identifier.citation This means that if you don't check it, you won't get either of these 3 fields to fill in. What you can do is finish the submission and then go back to the editing of the record and create manually the field(s) that you are interested in. For more info you can check this page: http://dspace.org/technology/system-docs/submission.html However, I would suggest that you add a publisher field as well, besides date.issued, to indicate who has created the digitized resource. For more info on that, you can check the DC Library Application Profile. But this is just how I perceive the definition of that field.

Yes, there's a plan afoot to hold a DSpace user group meeting as part of the Open Repository 2007 meeting in San Antonio, Texas next January. See http://openrepositories.org/ The Open Repository conference concept was pioneered by the University of Sydney and the Australian National University last winter, and it went very well... the idea is to have user group meetings for major open source repository platforms (currently DSpace, Fedora, and EPrints) followed by a general meeting on platform-independent topics. The focus is mainly on the technology however, as opposed to policy/marketing kinds of presentations. Open Repository 2008 (OR2008) is already scheduled to be held at the University of Southampton, UK -- the idea is to alternate between North America and Europe every other year. If you look at the draft program you'll see that we have one and a half days set aside for a DSpace user group meeting at the beginning of the conference, followed by 2 days for the general conference. We see if that's enough time for everything! I've also heard from the folks at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, that they might be interested in hosting a user group meeting in 2008, or possibly OR2009, so it is my sincere hope that we can have at least one DSpace user group meeting in North America each year starting in 2007. There will undoubtedly be user group meetings in other parts of the world as well, but I realize that there hasn't been one in North American since 2003 so we're next on the list.

I would be interested in receiving e-mail feedback from list members' regarding your interest in coming to Atlanta, Georgia for one of the two conferences I mentioned above.

My personal bias when considering tools is to first look at free software and then to consider proprietary tools if I must. I'm assuming, though, that you want to encode the files in a playable format. If you want the video to be available and viewable by users through standard media software you'll want to rip the video into a lossless (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) or lossy (Sorenson, Ogg Theora, MPEG) format. If, however, you want to archive the DVDs and CDs as-is, you'll probably want to create an ISO disk image. For that I'd use the linux dd command or the utilities from cdrtools. You didn't specify on what platform you're planning to rip so if you're planning on not using linux this probably won't have been much help. transcode: http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode dvd::rip: http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ cdrtools: http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdrecord/ dd: http://public.research.att.com/~gsf/man/man1/dd.html Jim -- ------------------------- Jim Tuttle Geospatial Data Librarian North Carolina State University Libraries PGP key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x69B69B08 From susan.parham at gmail.com Wed Jun 7 17:14:43 2006 From: susan.parham at gmail.com (Susan Parham) Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 17:14:43 -0400 Subject: [Dspace-general] JCDL Message-ID: <5f4ba2340606071414i1a16e808kbe9719d839e2110e@mail.gmail.com> Any DSpace friends interested in getting together at JCDL?

Message-ID: Dear David, This is the function called mapping in Dspace (available since Dspace 1.2). You need to be an administrator in order to be able to do it. When you are on your collection homepage (the collection where the item will be available in second place), in the upper right corner you have two buttons: Edit and Item Mapper. If you choose Item mapper, you'll have the possibility to search for an author name (be aware that you have to submit the full Last Name, apparently there is no possible truncation). Check the box with the right item, Add and it's done. I hope you understand my English; sometimes I don't ;-) Good luck with your mapping!

For example you could make a book the collection with each item comprising a chapter. Of course, that then limits the metadata you can add for the book, since it's limited to what's available at the collection level... Scott.

We have made dozens of changes to our original design as a result of these tests, and have many more to make. While some are -- or at least may be -- idiosyncratic to the way we have implemented DSpace and the way we intend its use here at Michigan, others are probably of interest to the DSpace community as a whole. So, here's a link to my summary of our findings in hopes that some might find it of use. http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~hellpop/DSpace_Deep_Blue_usability_summary.doc Cheers, Jim ____________________________________ Jim Ottaviani +1 734-763-4835 University of Michigan Library Coordinator, Deep Blue Project http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu Quis custodiet ipsos custodes --Juvenal, Satires VI, 347 From John.Murtagh at brunel.ac.uk Mon Jun 26 05:41:38 2006 From: John.Murtagh at brunel.ac.uk (John Murtagh) Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:41:38 +0100 Subject: [Dspace-general] Video files In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <106FFBC2989C2944A87980CD7D8CBE7A50E5E8@UXEXMBU116.academic.windsor> Hello all, I've got 15 hours worth of video footage from our Specialist Research Institutes Open Week - however, despite formatting it into MPEG and cutting the footage into 15 minute snippets the files are just too large to be placed onto DSpace.(We are talking 80MB!

I would recommend not compressing the files (lossy) in case you want to use them in the future with the latest (HD) technology. It will be very difficult for DSpace or any archive system to handle such big files and I think it's better that another system optimized for this task handles it under DSpace governance. With video you have the additional need to handle streaming versions on (proprietary) video servers. I recommend to do the following: 1. Determine a 'master archive' format for the original video material, that meets your current and future needs. 2. Make a simple Unique Identifier generating program that gives this number to the master video file. 3. If possible try to do a bitstream checksum on the original master file 4. Generate a metadata file with the mpeg and other metadata (like the checksum) and give it the same name as the master video file. For preservation/archive purposes I would advice to never delete this (small) file, but if it changes create a new version. 5. Import the metadata file with Unique ID in DSpace and manage it there as part of the collection and content metadata enrichment process. 6. For production/publishing convert from the master file to a streaming or any other format and let DSpace manage the links/location process. 7. To safe storage costs, store the master video files on tape or DVD near-line or off-line. Be sure to regularly check the integrity of the files (hence the checksum). I think we need to develop DSpace the above mentioned way and let storage resource brokers and other IT systems handle the storage distribution and disaster recovery part. I look forward to your and the other DSpace community members comments on this idea and how to best implent it.

Since Ubuntu 6.06 LTS came out, I thought it may be very viable to do a DSPACE install on that OS instead, especially as it has 5 years support (which no other current linux OS will give you.) So I took the plunge, hoping to provide installation instructions for others on completion. I managed to install everything without a glitch, and you even getting official SUN supported JAVA packages. Not much to do, pop in the CD, set up our local university repository, opened synaptic and installed everything needed without a glitch. The only additional setup for the system besides clicking was to point out JAVA_HOME in /etc/environment, reboot and Tomcat works 100% on port 8180. Up to this point the install was still under an hour. I then changed the dspace.cfg, copied the postgresql-8.1-407.jdbc2.jar into the source, created the install directories with permissions, created the db, compiled successfully, copied the .war files, created the admin account, rebooted tomcat. But no, it didn't work. I have tried to compile using sudo, but that doesn't compile. I tried importing the application from the manager console without success. I changed the access permissions and ownership to tomcat5, and then root, on everything I could find, still no pleasure. The logs does point to some permission issue, but I don't know tomcat well enough to solve the issue at hand. If anyone can please help, please I'll REALLY appreciate it and undertake to post my installation steps in detail for newbies on completion.

I don't profess to understand much of it at all, and I despise Java, but there is one thing I got stuck on for a while that might be the issue. I had to set "TOMCAT4_SECURITY=no" in /etc/default/tomcat4. That's in one of the FAQs somewhere on the web site. Completely a guess, but it's an easy thing to check if you haven't already! Debian is fairly similar to Ubuntu, so it might be worth it.

Venue: NCRA, Pune Host: National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) Many organizations are now looking forward to set up open access digital repositories. A few open source digital library software are popularly used to develop and manage digital libraries. DSpace (http://www.dspace.org/ ) is one of them that which is developed jointly by MIT Libraries and HP labs. DSpace helps to create, index and retrieve various forms of digital content. The purpose of this workshop is to provide training to LIS and KM professionals by providing adequate practical knowledge which will enable them to handle digital library projects independently, right from conceptual work to maintenance. In the workshop, though, faculty discusses digital library at length, the main focus will be on DSpace open source digital library software which is freely available on internet and customizable according to the individual organizational requirements. It will be a rarest opportunity for any library professional to converse to the concept of open source software, where customization is very easy as the source code is available with the user, which is not the case with proprietary software. DSPACE * DSpace can be used to build institutional or discipline-based repositories. *Submission facility allows scientists and researchers to upload digital documents from anywhere in the world. * Workflow feature allows moderation/review of the submitted documents * Assigns persistent identifiers to each digital object in the repository * Conforms to the standards like Dublin Core and OAI-PMH v.2.0 * Security can be built at various levels to effect restricted access * Asian and other world language based digital libraries can be built as it conforms to the UNICODE standard DSpace is an open source software and is freely downloadable from http://www.dspace.org/ This workshop is exclusively designed to provide hands-on-experience to the LIS Professionals and Knowledge Workers in developing a digital library using DSpace software. The topics to be covered in the Workshop * Digital Libraries: Overview * Overview of DSpace * Installation of DSpace * DSpace Users: Anonymous, Members & Authors * DSpace Administration * Dublin Core * OAI-PMH * Persistent Identifiers * DSpace Customization * Lucene Search Engine * Unicode and Indian Languages The workshop comprises of lectures, demonstration and practice on the topics mentioned above. Computer lab facilities are made available for practice to the participants during extended hours. NCRA has excellent computer facilities. Faculty Dr. ARD Prasad, DRTC, ISI, Bangalore, INDIA Dr. Devika Malladi, DRTC, ISI, Bangalore, INDIA Dr. Aditya Tripati, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, INDIA Ms. Sunita Barve, NCRA, Pune, INDIA Target Participants LIS and Knowledge Professionals, who have familiarity with Information Technology. The selection will be made on the basis of first-cum-first served.

NOTE: the 6.2 Handle server upgrade is not required to make the Handle System work with DSpace 1.4 or any earlier version... it's just a greatly improved version of the Handle server that you should upgrade to for performance reasons. The upgrade is promised to be very simple and you can schedule it when you have the time (CNRI would like it to be as soon as possible). It's very likely that the 1.5 release of DSpace will be packaged with version 6.2 of the Handle server. CNRI is the non-profit organization that created the Handle System and (very importantly) runs the global identifier resolver system. They have received revenue for doing that from the International DOI Foundation and other sources for many years, but the DSpace community has not be asked for funding. The amounts involved are modest, but if you feel that you cannot afford these fees you should contact CNRI about getting a waiver (email hdladmin at cnri.reston.va.us) DSpace made the CNRI Handle System its default persistent identification system from the very beginning in 2002, and so far it has served us well. MIT will continue to use the Handle System and pay the new fee, but every DSpace site will need to decide if it will do likewise or look for another solution for persistent identifiers to archived items. There are a few other network identifier systems around, each with its own pros and cons, and there was some work proposed years ago to generalize the identification system code in DSpace so that sites could choose which system they preferred. That was never implemented, but there are sites that have opted out of the Handle System and if you ask on the list I'm sure they'll explain what they did. Finally, as you know, we're in the process of creating a new non-profit (501c3) DSpace Foundation to govern the open source software and, among other things, deal with the many legal and business issues that come up around the system all the time. This is a really good example of how the foundation can help our community... in theory the DSpace Foundation could act as an agent on our collective behalf and use our membership fees or other sources of revenue to cover these payments so that we won't need to worry about them. But in the meantime... The folks at CNRI are happy to answer any questions or help you if you need it, so don't hesitate to contact them at hdladmin at cnri.reston.va.us Thanks, MacKenzie MacKenzie Smith Associate Director for Technology MIT Libraries
