[Dspace-general] DSpace Statistics Add-on

[Eloy Rodrigues]

Apologies for cross-posting

 

I’m glad to announce that the RepositóriUM team at Minho University has
finished the documentation and packaging off a new Add-on to DSpace, related
with Statistics, that we already use in our Repository for 2 months.

 

This Add-on (see description below) is available at:
<http://wiki.dspace.org/StatisticsAddOn>
http://wiki.dspace.org/StatisticsAddOn

 

The purpose of the Statistics Add-on was to promote RepositóriUM and author
self(or mediated)-archiving, by demonstrating the worldwide accessibility
and usage (access/downloads) of archived documents. We also wanted to
provide usage, content and administrative statistics to IR and
community/collection administrators or coordinators.

The Statistics Add-on to the DSpace platform, is responsible for the
gathering, processing and presentation of access, content and administrative
statistics generated by DSpace usage. It was developed based on the
principles and some of the components of the statistics application created
and released by ANU. 

Despite the fact that the development was made to respond to the specific
needs of RepositóriUM, the system is completely adjustable to other
environments, because their components can easily be configured, changed or
extended, to respond to different information needs. 

Important features of the Statistics system:

*         Real time processing of event logs 

*         Database based stored mechanism of statistics 

*         Real time detection and processing of access country origin 

*         Semi-real time detection and exclusion of crawlers 

*         Definition of user Access policies at individual statistic and
data level 

*         Customizable statistics queries 

*         Customizable web interface look and feel of each statistic 

You can see the implementation of the Add-on in RepositóriUM
(https://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt <https://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/>
) where the general (IR level) access/download statistics
(https://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/sdum/stats?level=general
<https://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/sdum/stats?level=general&type=access&gr
oup=1&no-form=true&no-menu=true>
&type=access&group=1&no-form=true&no-menu=true) and individual
access/download statistics (eg, http://hdl.handle.net/1822/4803) are
publicly available.
