As part of this process we would love to find training for the person hired to customized DSpace for our institutional needs. The training offered last June by the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries in Chapel Hill, N.C. would have been perfect. I am wondering if any of you know of upcoming training focusing on DSpace installation and customization of code.

If so, can I just make up the prefix and edit the dspace.cfg then run the script [dspace]/bin/make-handle-config ? The reason I ask is that the UNIX server running dspace is not open to the internet so I'd rather use a local prefix to resolve a handle to a URL. Looking forward to your reply.

We've looked at JSR-170 from two perspectives. One is where DSpace itself acts as a JSR-170 repository, and other apps can use the JSR-170 interface to store and retrieve things in DSpace. Since JSR-170 is a Java API and not (yet) a network API (or "Web Service") we haven't implemented that; the closest is probably the 'lightweight network interface' (http://web.mit.edu/lcs/www/lni/) which should be appearing in DSpace 1.5. If you want another app to interface to DSpace, this is probably the best way forward right now. The other way we've been looking at JSR-170 is for internal use in DSpace, i.e. DSpace itself would use a storage layer with a JSR-170 to store things. That possibility is still on the table, though there are no immediate plans for that right now; there are some issues to do with the DSpace data model that need resolving first. Hope this helps, Rob On 11/01/07, C?sar Ariza (gmw) wrote: > Hi All, > > Did anyone use the JSR-170 funtionality in the Dspace? Where can I > found information about it? > > How to do it?

Currently I am focusing on the policy guidelines that will apply to our institutional repository. I am curious to know whether the majority of institutions require a memorandum of understanding. Also I would really appreciate looking at a document that is a checklist outlining the process of adding a new community to the IR. I'd like to see what other institutions do so that I don't miss critical steps in information gathering or dissemination to a new community member. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

From the Executive Summary: 1. What we did - In a nutshell we established relationships with a number of content groups across campus: the Kellogg Institute, the Institute for Latino Studies, Art History, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Life Science, the Nanovic Insitute, the Kaneb Center, the School of Architecture, FTT (Film, Television, and Theater), the Gigot Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, the Graduate School, the University Intellectual Property Committee, the Provost's Office, and General Councel. Next, we collected content from many of these groups, "cataloged" it, and saved it into three different computer systems: DigiTool, ETD-db, and DSpace. Finally, we aggregated this content into a centralized cache to provide enhanced browsing, searching, and syndication services against the content. 2. What we learned - We essentially learned four things: 1) metadata matters, 2) preservation now, not later, 3) the IDR requires dedicated people with specific skills, 4) copyright raises the largest number of questions regarding the fulfillment of the goals of the IDR. 3. Where we are leaning in regards to recommendations - The recommendations take the form of a "Chinese menu" of options, and the options are be grouped into "meals". We recommend the IDR continue and include: 1) continuing to do the Electronic Theses & Dissertations, 2) writing and implementing metadata and preservation policies and procedures, 3) taking the Excellent Undergraduate Research to the next level, and 4) continuing to implement DigiTool. There are quite a number of other options, but they may be deemed too expensive to implement.

This would be a contractor position used as needed for a limited-length engagement (probably 1 year or less). The DSpace specialist must be an expert with the DSpace interfaces and the work processes which those interfaces reflect, and be skilled at presenting these interfaces to small groups in both online and face-to-face settings. Some instructional experience leading workshops is required. An understanding of the overall conceptual design of the DSpace software and the use cases supported is also important. The person does not need, however, to be an expert with the DSpace code, DSpace installation, or system configuration, beyond what is possible in the online DSpace interfaces. Familiarity with system configuration and related topics, however, would be welcome and helpful.

There are non-research interests strongly lobbying against these recommendations, so a display of support by the research community is critically important. A consortium of European organisations working in the scholarly communication arena is now sponsoring a petition to the European Commission to demonstrate support for these recommendations on the part of the European and worldwide research community. Signatures may be added by individual researchers or universities and research institutions. I would strongly urge you to register your support.

So the patch command will use a patch file to modify the DSpace source code. You will still need to re-compile and deploy the new source code for the changes to actually show up in your DSpace application. In your case below: The patch utility is finding and understanding the patch file that you downloaded. The problem is that the patch command can not find the DSpace source code to apply the patch to.

This was mainly done to prevent the appearance of infinite URL spaces which can occur when bitstreams contain relative links but are not in HTML items (e.g. PDFs). That said, if there is a reason you do not want your repository harvested (by search engines etc), I'd recommend you use the authorization system to restrict access to sensitive material -- if someone has access to your browse pages, they can crawl them to get to item pages and from there to all of the bitstreams anyway.

Assuming you are just trying to upgrade your current installation, having applied a patch, you need to use the 'update' ant target, rather than 'fresh_install'. The typical syntax would be: ant -Dconfig=[dspace]/config/dspace.cfg update You can then delete your old DSpace webapps from tomcat, and copy over the new ones.

I run the Informatics at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, NESCent (http://www.nescent.org), which is an NSF funded center located in Durham, NC. Among many other things, we are tasked with establishing a digital repository for data in evolution (and at first we will focus on published data). A synopsis of what we are planning and some of the driving motivations are at http:// driade.nescent.org. I've just returned from OR2007, which really left me in awe at the work and the expertise of the people involved in DSpace that I met there. The repository we are aiming to establish is primarily going to be for digital data, not documents (more specifically, data associated with publications). In recollection, most or all of the DSpace-based repositories that were presented were concerned with documents, not data (or so it appeared to me). I was wondering to what extent this is a false observation, and whether or not this contains a message. Based on a superficial look at the DSpace data model there seems to be no restriction or bias as to what the digital object may be. I learned from one of you that in the DSpace data model I have no way to represent hierarchical and typed relationships between the individual bitstreams that constitute the parts of a 'dataset', which I found a very helpful comment. I understand that I need to study that data model in more detail, but wanted to ask the community whether there are any examples for DSpace- based data-centric digital repositories, and how they fared with DSpace. Thanks in advance for any comments, links, or other pointers, and BTW if anyone has comments or suggestions on our digital data repository project as outlined above, please don't hesitate to send those my way too, I'll forward them to the project team. -hilmar -- =========================================================== : Hilmar Lapp -:- Durham, NC -:- hlapp at duke dot edu : =========================================================== From hlapp at duke.edu Sat Jan 27 17:31:37 2007 From: hlapp at duke.edu (Hilmar Lapp) Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 17:31:37 -0500 Subject: [Dspace-general] digital data repository architect Message-ID: <4E6EAAD9-3F63-4D22-B51A-7DBB0AB7FAD5@duke.edu> (I apologize in advance if it is considered spam to post job openings to this list, but I have been told at OR2007 that this should not be an offense, so I hope it's not) The National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in Durham, NC (http://www.nescent.org) seeks a highly motivated Digital Data Repository Architect.

DSpace happens to have its own metadata store and a UI that lets you search, browse, navigate and display that metadata, but only as a convenience... you could just as easily replicate all the DSpace item metadata in your OPAC and let users find it and link to the DSpace item from there. MIT is strongly considering doing just that, or else aggregating all the metadata into some other system so that users don't have to search for it in separate silos. It's sounds like the issue you want to resolve is partly "MARC vs qualified DC" which is a very different question, of course. It's easy enough to map from one to the other, so the issues are how much labor to put into the metadata creation, and what functionality you require from the UI. With add-ons like Manakin and DWell, the DSpace UI can look just as pretty as you want it to, and support most (but not all) of an OPAC's functionality. Will DSpace replace OPACs? Very unlikely... Will something else replace local OPACs soon? That's a good bet. Should qDC replace MARC? Interesting question... point your catalogers at the Calhoun report (www.loc.gov/catdir/calhoun-report-final.pdf) to get that conversation going...

The subject headings are too broad, and free text access is available only for titles and chapter headings, not abstracts and full-text. The catalogs do not provide citation indexing, nor tracking of multiple coauthors, nor many of the functions we associate with the usual repository. OCLC now does include some articles and book chapters in the catalog, and the result as I see it is increased confusion, even for knowledgeable end-users. Doesn't mean it couldn't. But it would have to be deliberately re-designed to have both functions. Given the speed at which catalog practices change, it is probably more realistic to develop starting from D-space. To a librarian some current practices seem inadequate, such as the stable identification of authors, and consistency of subjects, but all this can be developed. There are some potential dual purpose systems. Probably the most likely is the Entrez system at NLM. The potential scope can be best seen at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery/gquery.fcgi?itool=toolbar There is a continuum from the full text of articles--and of books--to journal articles and non-bibliographic databases. The subject heading list is designed so that it can be applied for either articles or books, and essentially all the functions of the most sophisticated D-space systems are available. Even the most widely ranging systems such as RePEc cannot match this-- at least not quite yet.

I think that a major cause of confusion is in looking at repositories through the standpoint of the user interface. I've often heard that DC and qDC are inferior descriptive metadata schemes to MARC and, as far as linking to digital assests, they can do that through the 856 tag in the MARC record. Those are fine arguments but they're only related to a very small aspect of what repositories do. Repositories, at their core, are about *managing* the digital assets. To do this effectively, you need to consider solutions that can support not just descriptive metadata to aid in end-user discovery, but also technical and administrative metadata and that do this in a structured, standardized way (such as in METS). You want to consider solutions that can aid in format recognition (e.g. JHOVE) and verification (e.g. MD5 checksum, SHA-1 hash) to ensure that these assets have not become corrupt and in support of future format migration strategies. While you can store all of this technical data in MARC, even if it's in a 9xx field, you're going to have to build customized solutions in the future to mine this data to use it in any way. All of this is necessary to begin building preservation strategies for these digital assets. While you could put your most valuable physical special collections in the library stacks, you choose wisely to preserve them and house them in secure, temperature and humidity controlled facilities. Likewise with digital assets, you could 'shoe-horn' the metadata that you need into MARC, but you'd be better off in the long run to consider systems that are designed to handle the existing and future needs for the preservation of these materials. There are many other benefits to repositories of course, such as being 'format agnostic' regarding what can be stored - not only relating to rich media, but also to native descriptive metadata formats like EAD, TEI, and others which loose their structure when mapped to MARC. I could go on and on but, hopefully, this will help with your struggle to convince your librarians to start thinking outside of the MARC box.

MIT is currently taking some datasets, usually of the simpler variety (e.g. statistical datasets like https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/18175 ) and we don't promise to always render them on the web... sometimes we just hand the user the file and let them work with it locally (in the example above, the dataset only works in a particular desktop statistical package, so it's not web-native no matter how nice the UI is). > I learned from one of you that in > the DSpace data model I have no way to represent hierarchical and > typed relationships between the individual bitstreams that constitute > the parts of a 'dataset', which I found a very helpful comment. > The DSpace data model is at a higher level than this (i.e. it covers the organization's structure into communities and collections rather than the item's structure per se). If the "item" qua "dataset" has multiple bitstreams, as does, for example, a complex web site, then they way we recommend handling that in DSpace is to have the item contain -- all the content files -- another file with the structural metadata for the data, whether that be METS, IMS CP, MPEG-21 DIDL, or pick-your-favorite-complex-object-model The most common scenario is then to write a custom UI that will get the structural metadata file and work its magic to create the end user interface to the data. The reason this is so vague is that every type of data requires a different UI to help users interact with that data. The notion that one repository could 'do it all' seems like hubris to me... the default (DSpace) UI would just index the metadata for the dataset and list one or more content files, or a link to the custom UI. We do something like that for the archive of OpenCourseWare websites in DSpace at MIT (e.g. https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/34949) although this isn't a dataset of course. > Thanks in advance for any comments, links, or other pointers, and BTW > if anyone has comments or suggestions on our digital data repository > project as outlined above, please don't hesitate to send those my way > too, I'll forward them to the project team. > Hope this helps, MacKenzie -- MacKenzie Smith MIT Libraries From mdiggory at MIT.EDU Wed Jan 31 11:17:30 2007 From: mdiggory at MIT.EDU (Mark Diggory) Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 11:17:30 -0500 Subject: [Dspace-general] Data-centric repository In-Reply-To: <7638AA94-DFCC-4AE5-AFA5-0F01767C0167@duke.edu> References: <7638AA94-DFCC-4AE5-AFA5-0F01767C0167@duke.edu> Message-ID: <595C50C6-ABDD-4606-AECF-85E22FEFE1E1@mit.edu> Hilmar, It was great to meet you in san Antonio.

DSpace is not document centric, but it is "file centric" in that 99% of the time, what gets placed into DSpace are files (in the traditional sense of the word), in DSpace these are stored as "Bitstreams". > I was wondering to what extent this is a false observation, and > whether or not this contains a message. Based on a superficial look > at the DSpace data model there seems to be no restriction or bias as > to what the digital object may be. Yes, DSpace is file format agnostic, there is nothing that enforces what the contents of a file must contain in DSpace. So no matter if you have an Excel spreadsheet or a PDF document, DSpace can store and retrieve the content as such. > I learned from one of you that in > the DSpace data model I have no way to represent hierarchical and > typed relationships between the individual bitstreams that constitute > the parts of a 'dataset', which I found a very helpful comment. Well...Yes... and No... An "Item" in the DSpace Content Model currently allows for rich metadata to be attached directly to it. As well, Bitstreams too, allow for a small amount of metadata to be attached (name, description, format). We feel these will get expanded in the future so that arbitrary metadata can be attached at any level in the Data Model (Community, colelction, Item, or Bitstream). But, often IMHO the mistake made is to attempt to map the structure ones data onto the content storage model of the repository (at the Collection / Item / Bundle structure of DSpace). The complexity of relational datasets doesn't map very will into these cases and in fact, I think they are the wrong domains to be trying to map together (one being content centric, the other being management/relationship centric). A relational db conflates the two together, but for good reason because it was designed to manage the two together. DSpace on the other hand, keeps the two separate so that it can be content agnostic. DSpace is Access dependent, DSpace only sees files as "Blobs", and stores/retrieves them as such. So if you want to store a dynamic complex structure like a "Relational Database", the way I see to do it is to express that structure in some "serialized" form of one or more bitstreams (such as an SQL dump or (a set of csv or tab files, something akin to a DDI manifest and associated data files stored in separate bitstreams). The goal being that it can be "reconstituted" in the same state by the client downloading a copy of the file (no matter if that client is a users browser or some 3rd party or value- added service capabile of "remounting" and providing access to a version of the database). What does all this mean technically? At least for me, it involves trying to get the groups we are working with to agree on structural package that can be used for exchanging datasets. In DSpace I'm hoping this will really just be a METS based solution that holds data- sets and a manifest like DDI for transporting. > > I understand that I need to study that data model in more detail, but > wanted to ask the community whether there are any examples for DSpace- > based data-centric digital repositories, and how they fared with > DSpace. > > Thanks in advance for any comments, links, or other pointers, and BTW > if anyone has comments or suggestions on our digital data repository > project as outlined above, please don't hesitate to send those my way > too, I'll forward them to the project team. > > -hilmar > -- > =========================================================== > : Hilmar Lapp -:- Durham, NC -:- hlapp at duke dot edu : > =========================================================== > > > > _______________________________________________ > Dspace-general mailing list > Dspace-general at mit.edu > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/dspace-general Mark R.

My Dspace spirits have been rejuvenated and I would like to propose three features for future development, as requested by my local faculty. 1. Statistics which are open, similar to E-Prints http://eprints.rclis.org/stat/7192.html - stats at all levels ie. Community, Sub-Community, Collection & File. 2. Citation Export to bibliographic software such as EndNote and RefWorks - faculty have requested this so they can populate the "recent research" section in their annual reports. 3. Embargoes for files - we need this for theses and to satisfy granting agency requirements to embargo for 6 months if required by the publisher. - University of Maryland seems to have an elegant solution for embargoes on Dspace. I'm interested in hearing about requests from other faculties.
