When new users input their e-mail address and get the web link sent to them to complete registration (i.e. http://194.83.137.111:8080/register?token=1bb3ff747321ab1f5003cb25c9646d dc) get the following error in the web page; "http 404 error - /register not available." I have found out that if I put the word 'dspace/' just before the word register (i.e so the link becomes http://194.83.137.111:8080/dspace/register?token=1bb3ff747321ab1f5003cb2 5c9646ddc) it works and the user then get's and input form where they can enter their passwords. The question is why is Dspace not generating the correct path in the link. I have looked on my UNIX box and the file called 'register' is in directory /dspace/config. Can anyone tell me how I can correct this? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ Rudolph Scott Desktop Support Analyst Dept of Biostatistics and Computing Institute Of Psychiatry Kings College London De Crespigny Park, London SE5 8AF Tel: 020-7848-0135 E-mail: r.scott at iop.kcl.ac.uk From sdl at aber.ac.uk Wed Nov 1 09:26:32 2006 From: sdl at aber.ac.uk (Stuart David Lewis [sdl]) Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 14:26:32 -0000 Subject: [Dspace-general] Correct path not genarated when registering newusers In-Reply-To: <7AC047D44A8CD243B7FE9305102D5FD103A139F6@MAIL.bc.iop.kcl.ac.uk> Message-ID: <2E32E4049258DA42B884AB8EA753F64C6492D7@issvexch1.staff.aber.ac.uk> Hi Scott, In your [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg file, find the line beginning with: dspace.url (near the top) Make sure that this ends in '/dspace' E.g. : dspace.url = http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace or dspace.url = http://194.83.137.111:8080/dspace Save this file, then restart tomcat and hopefully it might solve your problem.

To remove an item mapping, in the collection which an item has been mapped 'to', click on 'Item Mapper', and then at the bottom of the page there will be a list of collections from which items have been mapped 'from'. You can then click on that an remove the mapping.

Effective immediately, there are several important changes to the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB), Scholarly Electronic Publishing Resources (SEPR), and the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog (SEPW) that users should be aware of: 1. These publications have been moved to my domain: http://www.digital-scholarship.com/ SEPB http://www.digital-scholarship.com/sepb/sepb.html SEPR http://www.digital-scholarship.com/sepb/sepr.htm SEPW http://www.digital-scholarship.com/sepb/sepw.htm 2. While the UH Libraries will archive SEPB versions up to version 64, no new versions will be published on their Website. If you maintain a catalog record for SEPB, I would ask that you update it with the new address. Next Monday's SEPW will be published at the new site. 3. A transition version of SEPB (65) has been published at the new site. There are no content changes. This version simply makes a number of HTML coding adjustments needed for the new location. A Google Custom Search Engine replaces the prior search capability. Once Google starts indexing the new site, search results will be from that site. 4. The SEPW mailing list will be discontinued at the end work today. You can continue to get an e-mail version from FeedBurner. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of your having to sign up again; all that is required is your e-mail address. http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=51756 5. The SEPW RSS feed remains the same: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ScholarlyElectronicPublishingWeblogrss 6. You can continue to follow my digital publishing activities at my domain and at DigitalKoans: http://www.escholarlypub.com/digitalkoans/ Thanks for your patience during this transition. -- Best Regards, Charles Charles W.

Member Libraries include: Auraria Library, Colorado College, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University, Denver Public Library, Regis University, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, University of Denver, University of Northern Colorado and the University of Wyoming. http://www.coalliance.org About Fedora Fedora open source software gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects. Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies. http://fedora.info Please send cover letter, resume, and list of three references to: Alan Charnes, Executive Director Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries 3801 E.

With apologies for cross-posting Carrie Calder BioMed Central ================================== PRESSS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 27 October 2006 MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY LAUNCHES OPEN ACCESS REPOSITORY USING OPEN REPOSITORY SERVICE FROM BIOMED CENTRAL BioMed Central's Open Repository service has built e-space, Manchester Metropolitan University's institutional open access repository, it was announced today. The repository is freely available at www.e-space.mmu.ac.uk. BioMed Central's Open Repository service builds on the open-source DSpace technology platform, enhancing it with value-added features unique to Open Repository. Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) is the fourth most popular university in the UK, according to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. MMU's institutional repository will allow its 39,000 staff and students working at ten research institutes on seven campuses, to deposit research findings and to share them effectively between themselves, and with their international colleagues. MMU will maintain complete administrative control over the repository whilst BioMed Central will provide hosting services, customization, backups and technical support. Jayne Burgess, e-space Project Manager, explains why MMU chose BioMed Central's Open Repository service, "We had been watching developments in UK Institutional repositories and decided the time was right for us to set up a repository for MMU. We saw this as a natural extension of the library role both in managing information and supporting and acknowledging the importance of research at MMU. We knew that a good deal of staff time would be required for advocacy and content acquisition and wanted a solution that would leave core staff time for these tasks and, with limited technical resource available to the library at this time, we considered Open Repository to be the most suitable option. BioMed Central provides a complete service with Open Repository, which means that whilst e-space is hosted, maintained and developed by BioMed Central, we retain administrative control over it. We have worked closely with BioMed Central to customise the website and to map the communities and collections to the structure of the University. The technical support from BioMed Central has been excellent and we would like to continue to work closely with them to make suggestions for additional and added-value service developments based on researchers' requirements." Natasha Robshaw, Director of Marketing and Sales, BioMed Central commented, "We are delighted to welcome MMU as a customer for our Open Repository service. Our expert in-house team provides a complete service, making Open Repository a very convenient way for the customer to establish and run an institutional archive. The service has been designed to be both flexible and cost-effective. Open Repository also includes tools that make it very easy for researchers to deposit their articles and other documents. We believe this is an invaluable service, and look forward to many other organisations coming on board in the next few months." Value-added features of the Open Repository in addition to the standard DSpace functionality can include saved searches, a submission form using PubMed ID and external linking to Entrez databases. BioMed Central can also offer Open Repositories in different (Roman alphabet) languages, customisable submission forms. The service is now W3 web accessibility compliant AA. Open Repository offers a Pilot Repository set up scheme, allowing customers to have working demo sites personalised to their needs for a 3-month, no obligation, free trial.

Open Repository offers professional help to institutions to quickly and easily build, launch, maintain, and populate their own repositories. The service has been designed to be flexible and cost-effective. BioMed Central's economy of scale makes it possible for institutions that could not otherwise afford to, or lack the infrastructure or technical capacity in-house, to set up repositories.

Stuart Lewis is the Web Applications Developer at the University of Wales Aberystwyth where part of his work has involved using DSpace for several years. He has recently finished a funded project using DSpace to export materials to archival repository systems, and is about to start a new project using DSpace to archive large amounts of automatically generated data from automated laboratories. Stuart is also the project leader on a project to provide repository help and support to all universities in England and Wales and is the current chair of the DSpace UK and Ireland user group. He has particular interest in providing support for DSpace through the email lists and is looking forward to working with DSpace more closely over the next few years with the exciting changes following on from the technical architecture review. We are sure that the DSpace community joins us in welcoming Stuart to the team. - The DSpace Committers From scott.yeadon at anu.edu.au Mon Nov 13 00:19:08 2006 From: scott.yeadon at anu.edu.au (Scott Yeadon) Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 16:19:08 +1100 Subject: [Dspace-general] DSpace 1.4.1 beta 1 testing Message-ID: <4558004C.2040803@anu.edu.au> Hi All, The testing period for 1.4.1 beta 1 will be limited to two weeks, meaning that cut-off for patches and testing of the beta 1 release will be 23 November.

I'm afraid you will probably have to take this issue up with the Handle people, although in my experience they have always been quick to reply and very helpful. > * If there is a delay, and I start uploading items > before Handle registration, will there be any difficulties > in setting up Handle IDs for these items later, once the > Handle server is up and running? You'll be glad to hear there should be no problem at all. When you create items before you have registered a handle, they will use the dummy handle '123456789'. Once you are issued with a handle, you need to enter that in the relevant part of [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg (handle.prefix), restart tomcat, and all new items will use the new handle. Assuming you are running DSpace version 1.4, there is a script in [DSpace]/bin/update-handle-prefix which will allow you to update old records to your new handle. Once you have run that, you will need to run [DSpace]/bin/index-all to ensure the search engine rebuilds itself using the new handle values.

I'm currently doing some work on content harvesting across DSpace instances, and the default policy I have adopted is to define a "root" community into which harvested content is deposited, and beneath that are communities corresponding to the remote content repositories, and collections corresponding to the date the harvest was performed. This structure provides a sensible, implementation-agnostic method of ingesting items, though to the user it is utterly meaningless. What I would like to do is to make the "root" community invisible to users, and have the items beneath it mapped into more meaningful points in the hierarchy. It is important to remember that it isn't our place to judge the possible motivation for a particular feature, rather we should decide whether it could be useful and whether the technological barrier is too high. In this case, I can see a clear case for wanting to hide arbitrary containers in the DSpace information hierarchy, and I don't think we should ignore that. It might mean defining a new policy (ACCESS, as opposed to READ), but it shouldn't be complicated to implement.

How can one go about loading html-based content into DSpace? What I'm thinking about is a typical web page, where images or other content may be a separate file from the html (linked of course). Is it just a matter of uploading the files, as one does with a series of related files, and indicate in the metadata the primary file? What about content where part of the "web page" may be in subfolders/directories? Thanks! Scott -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott A.

When not busy with support, the post holder will be able to contribute coding effort to DSpace. There will be a similar post offering support for GNU Eprints users. Full details can be found at: - http://www.aber.ac.uk/human-resources/en/vacancies.htm Please feel free to email Stuart Lewis (stuart.lewis at aber.ac.uk) with any formal or informal enquiries. Brief details as follows: ----- INFORMATION SERVICES ?20,645 - ?30,902 (All posts) Applications are invited for three fixed term posts associated with the Repository Support Project (RSP) and with the Robot-generated Open Access Data (ROAD) Project, both funded by the JISC Repositories and Preservation Programme. REPOSITORY SUPPORT OFFICER (2 POSTS) As members of the RSP you will assist HEIs in Wales and England to establish and develop digital institutional repositories; you will be graduates with an interest in repository development and have highly developed communication, organisational and information skills. One post holder will provide technical guidance and advice on the installation, configuration, customisation and use of repository software, particularly DSpace, and will have appropriate programming skills and familiarity with repository software platforms. The other will help institutions to populate digital repositories and embed them into the organisational culture and will be able to provide practical advice and support in such areas as advocacy, open access, standards and digital rights management. Both posts are available until 31 March 2009 and will be based in Aberystwyth but will involve travel to other HEIs in Wales on a regular basis. A full driving licence is essential and ability to speak Welsh would be an advantage. REPOSITORY RESEARCH PROGRAMMER As a member of the ROAD project, managed jointly by Information Services and the Department of Computer Science, you will investigate the suitability of different open source repository software packages as platforms for the creation and use of digital data repositories. A graduate with an interest in the development of data repositories, you will have appropriate programming skills (including Java web programming, database programming, Perl web programming as well as good UNIX and Windows programming experience) and be able to gain sufficient technical understanding of the Robot Scientist to be able to create a data repository. The post is based in Aberystwyth and is available until 31 December 2008. Closing date for all positions: 13 December 2006. _________________________________________________________________ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Cymru Aberystwyth University of Wales Aberystwyth E-bost / E-mail: Stuart.Lewis at aber.ac.uk Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ From r.davis at ulcc.ac.uk Fri Nov 24 09:56:34 2006 From: r.davis at ulcc.ac.uk (Richard Davis) Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 14:56:34 +0000 Subject: [Dspace-general] Image libraries Message-ID: <45670822.6070301@ulcc.ac.uk> Hi all Not a new one, I know, but does anyone know of any promising image library projects, with nice thumbnaily, touchy-feely, even Flickr-y frontends, sitting over an IR (Dspace, Eprints, Fedora, etc) backend?

MIT and other institutions rely on it as a forum for general announcements about the platform and its uses. FYI, dspace-general has 946 subscribers while dspace-tech has 818, and they don't overlap that much.

There are many subscribers to dspace-general (myself included) whose interest is in the less technical aspects of DSpace's use and development. I also scan dspace-tech - and dspace-devel - to improve my awareness of what's going on, but the stuff that's really relevant to me is almost invariably in dspace-general. Merging two strands in a single list would, I suspect, annoy more people than it would help. Perhaps an occasional (quarterly?) reminder to each list from the listowner reiterating its role would be helpful in channelling messages to the correct list.

To: "Mark Diggory" , Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi Mark, I entirely support MacKenzie on this. There are many subscribers to dspace-general (myself included) whose interest is in the less technical aspects of DSpace's use and development. I also scan dspace-tech - and dspace-devel - to improve my awareness of what's going on, but the stuff that's really relevant to me is almost invariably in dspace-general. Merging two strands in a single list would, I suspect, annoy more people than it would help. Perhaps an occasional (quarterly?) reminder to each list from the listowner reiterating its role would be helpful in channelling messages to the correct list.

This beta release is primarily a bug fix release incorporating numerous bugs/enhancements. Refer to the CHANGES file within the distribution for the full list of enhancements. The documentation for this release is bundled within the package. DSpace 1.4.1 beta 2 can be downloaded from the files area at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/ or from CVS using the tag dspace-1_4_1beta2. Please use the mailing lists available at http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=19984 to provide feedback on this release. Those wishing to do development work with DSpace are strongly encouraged to obtain the source code using CVS. This is very straightforward and a guide to doing this is available here: http://wiki.dspace.org/ContributionGuidelines We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you all to participate in the DSpace development process. Extra developer hands are always welcome, but there are other ways you can help: - Test the system and report bugs - Provide documentation (for end users and institutions, as well as technical) - Provide or update language packs - Share your deployment experiences - Donate content and metadata for testing and research - Share your technical experience and ideas Please visit the DSpace Wiki to see the various resources and collaboration tools available to the DSpace community: http://wiki.dspace.org/DspaceResources Regards, The DSpace Committer Group From courtois at ksu.edu Thu Nov 30 14:40:06 2006 From: courtois at ksu.edu (courtois@ksu.edu) Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 13:40:06 -0600 Subject: [Dspace-general] "Citation" Input Box Message-ID: <1164915606.456f3396d8f6d@webmail.ksu.edu> Has anyone created (or thinking about creating) a custom submission form that prompts the submitter for individual elements of the citation rather than relying on a single "Citation" input box? For example, instead of seeing the "Citation" input box, the submitter might see several input boxes, such as Article title: Journal title: Volume No.: Issue or Issue No.: Year: Starting Page: Ending Page: Another way to ask the question: Does the single "Citation" input box work ok? My concern is that users could enter all sorts of malformed citations in a single input box. Providing a separate input box for each citation element would likely yield more complete metatdata and is similar to the interface for entering citations into bibliographic database management programs such as EndNote, RefWorks, etc. This approach seems easy to implement for a single format, e.g., articles, but it gets tricky to carry the same approach through multiple formats within a single submission form.
