I haven't been involved with the hardware specification for the data centres that will be operating, but I could probably get some information (the estimate is that they will eventually hold ~200TiB of content each). As for multiple instances, load balancing, etc, myself and Graham Triggs are looking into clustering mechanisms for DSpace, both for the database and for the servlet container.

This is not an easy question to answer, which is presumably why someone is paying you to answer it ;) Without knowing more detail about the typical document type, size, etc, it would be difficult to give any advice on this.

For our case, we will surely use Oracle for our database because our client (Library and National Archives of Quebec) has an important contract with them. We already possess a San server with a lot of disk spaces and we intend to build an architecture with at least 4 or 5 servers : http://recherche.banq.qc.ca/aoportail/DSpace_Network_Diag_Proto.jpg The objective here is to isolate the web applications and the import/export and indexation jobs. We also propose in this architecture to install the handle on another different server. Mind that this solution doesn't include any kind of clustering and/or load-balancing since we think that this is something we should do after reaching a certain amount of items because at the beginning, we will probably not have more than 50000 items, essentially images, but some of them are very big, like geographical charts (1 gif could be in the range of 500 MB). Our digital collections are essentially collections of jpeg or gif images, fully indexable PDFs (5000 to 10000), some collections of audio files (not that much), some collections of video files (not much for now) and periodicals consisting of many PDFs which are not indexable since those are "images" of text and for now, none of them was treated with an OCR tool (that will come up eventually). Periodicals are the collections that could raise up our number to a million items. Note that in the periodicals case, we intend to try to find a solution that will prevent us to repeat the metadatas about a periodical through all the items that will contains the PDF files, obviously for performance reasons (see email in dspace-general about Preserving structured collections : http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/dspace-general/2007-February/001369.html ) Our team will certainly be very interested about DSpace clustering. ________________________________ From: James Rutherford [mailto:james.rutherford at hp.com] Sent: Thu 01/03/2007 6:49 AM To: Tellier, Stephane Cc: Dspace-general at mit.edu Subject: Large-scale DSpace repositories (was Re: [Dspace-general] Another committer) Hi Stephane, On Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 08:19:52AM -0500, Tellier, Stephane wrote: > Since you seem to have worked on the China Digital Museum project, I > was wondering if it could be possible for you to give some > informations about the hardware specs and the hardware architecture > (SAN server, load balancing, multiple dspace instances, etc.) about > that project.

We are about to install DSpace for this purpose and also we have expanded the ETD to an Institutional Repository. There is a suggestion from a member of the Project team that we divide the communities by subject, instead of faculties/departments. Has anybody in the discussion group have set up the communities by subject and what are the implications in doing so? Any comments/guidance on this matter will be most appreciated.

I've not used it, but assuming you've installed and configured your repository correctly, UKETD_DC should appear when you ListMetadataFormats, and you should be able to ListIdentifiers or ListRecords with the metadataPrefix UKETD_DC: ?verb=ListMetadataFormats and ?verb=ListIdentifiers&metadataPrefix=UKETD_DC or ?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=UKETD_DC cheers, Jim From james.rutherford at hp.com Tue Mar 6 06:59:03 2007 From: james.rutherford at hp.com (James Rutherford) Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 11:59:03 +0000 Subject: [Dspace-general] UKETD Plug-In In-Reply-To: References: <20070306111936.GG21764@pomona.hpl.hp.com> Message-ID: <20070306115903.GJ21764@pomona.hpl.hp.com> Hi Scott, Check your dspace.log file to see what error is being thrown when you ListIdentifiers.

I can't see anything referring to UKETD_DC in the output. It maytbe possible that the //bin/install-configs script did not work correctly (which was the last bit of the plugin procedure before restarting Tomcat. I'll check this, but do you have any other ideas? ___________________________________________________________ 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 -----Original Message----- From: James Rutherford [mailto:james.rutherford at hp.com] Sent: 06 March 2007 11:59 To: Scott, Rudolph Cc: DSpace General Subject: Re: [Dspace-general] UKETD Plug-In Hi Scott, Check your dspace.log file to see what error is being thrown when you ListIdentifiers.

I believe SCORM is a special case of the IMS Content Package standard (IMSCP, see http://www.imsglobal.org/ ). We had a project here to integrate DSpace with IMSCP-based course packages, see http://cwspace.mit.edu The old wiki there is down now and I don't know if it will ever be restored, but there is still some stuff in the WebDAV area. All the code was on the wiki but if you're interested I might be able to find an old version of it. We developed the DSpace Packager plugin mechanism for that project and had a generic IMSCP package ingester and disseminator, as well as one specialized for the OCW packages, so that could give you a good start on integrating with SCORM. You'll probably still have to write a crosswalk for the metadata but that could be a matter of XSL stylesheets. -- Larry From dorothea.salo at gmail.com Tue Mar 6 20:41:41 2007 From: dorothea.salo at gmail.com (Dorothea Salo) Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 20:41:41 -0500 Subject: [Dspace-general] Introducing: IR Managers Website Message-ID: <356cf3980703061741sb5d4bb4ma848e2b898694160@mail.gmail.com> I would like to announce the unveiling of the IR Managers Website at . From its About page: ---- The IR-Managers website, with its associated forum () and mailing list (), is a resource and communications tool for librarians, programmers, and other professionals running digital repositories, with an especial focus on institutional repositories (IRs) in colleges and universities in the United States. Although IRs are a focus of the various movements toward open access to the research and scholarly literature, this site is not intended for open-access advocacy. Although IRs are the focus of much technical investigation, this site is not purely technical. Instead, it is a gathering-place for people doing the immediate day-to-day tasks involved in planning, setting up, running, and recruiting content for IRs. ---- Please spread this announcement to anyone you know who might be interested, and I look forward to seeing DSpace users on the forum and the mailing list.

I'll check this, but do you have any other ideas? You shouldn't expect to see anything referring to UKETD_DC in that output. Check to make sure you have a UKETD_DC crosswalk defined in your [dspace]/config/oaicat.properties file, and that the class exists. I'm assuming you've followed the relevant steps from the install instructions (ant update etc etc).

I see a major storage virtualization movement. Ideally a repository like DSpace should have full control over the data storage/migration and location process. This currently takes place in the IT environment by SAN/Hierarchical storage managers or more advanced (Grid) storage broker systems like SRB or HP MAS. The archival storage functionality is described well in th OAIS model. A SAN is a good solution to start a repository service. It's however not an archival storage as described in the OAIS model and is too expensive for large multimedia collections. I see a market trend towards deep archvial storage outsourced to datacenters, which have petabyte libraries. Active content is (highly avialable) on local SAN/NAS solution(s). Ideally the institution should have a 3 copy policy using two datacenters with a different legal entity. In the Netherlands we are looking into cooperation with the Dutch Sound & Vision Foundation that maintains the national broadcast archive (1,5 PB). The big issue is the connection on the storage management level. E.g. different vendor solutions, deinign and setting policies, maintaining integrity and getting all operational (IT) info back at a higher management reporting level. To support managing this heterogenous environment at Erasmus Medical Center we are trying to create a sort of standard file based middle layer. (See enclosed pic). It comprises of a content file, a metadata XML file and a policy XML file, which are all linked via the same persistent ID filename. We need a very flexible system that can combine 3 standardisation worlds for institutional repositories. The regulatory/compliance/preservation, the domain knowledge of a community and the IT world All use their own standards and trying to mix them into one big thing, I think will not work.I like the OAIS reference model, but am not sure how to best organize its functions into SW modules. I am focussing on the Archival Storage function now. This should work with a lot of (commercial) Storage Management and IT/Datacenter solutions. For many of these solutions, the data integrity and unique persistent link management are new. I believe we could design a more or less general preservation/admin management function (Preferably in DSpace). The big issue is the management of what? Content files, Items, Collections etc. I feel this is related to access/ownership and is very community dependent. We are now focussing on first getting the content file management part arranged well and later worry about managing the higher level relationships. Interestingly the Dutch Sound & Vision foundation has an own catalogue development that links user access to DRM and its content archive. They said that basically it's a simple rule based matrix, very similar to the rule/policies Reagan Moore is working on with SRB on the storage management part. My question is shouldn't DSpace be developed in a similar way as well? Eg. a very simple/stupid archive content/item system based on storage brokers that are policy driven from a copy/information lifecycle management perspective plus a very flexible access layer that can be tuned to the community needs? I look forward to everybody's comments on these ideas!

For our case, we will surely use Oracle for our database because our client (Library and National Archives of Quebec) has an important contract with them. We already possess a San server with a lot of disk spaces and we intend to build an architecture with at least 4 or 5 servers (see the picture in attachment). The objective here is to isolate the web applications and the import/export and indexation jobs. We also propose in this architecture to install the handle on another different server. Mind that this solution doesn't include any kind of clustering and/or load-balancing since we think that this is something we should do after reaching a certain amount of items because at the beginning, we will probably not have more than 50000 items, essentially images, but some of them are very big, like geographical charts (1 gif could be in the range of 500 MB). Our digital collections are essentially collections of jpeg or gif images, fully indexable PDFs (5000 to 10000), some collections of audio files (not that much), some collections of video files (not much for now) and periodicals consisting of many PDFs which are not indexable since those are "images" of text and for now, none of them was treated with an OCR tool (that will come up eventually). Periodicals are the collections that could raise up our number to a million items. Note that in the periodicals case, we intend to try to find a solution that will prevent us to repeat the metadatas about a periodical through all the items that will contains the PDF files, obviously for performance reasons (see email in dspace-general about Preserving structured collections : http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/dspace-general/2007-February/001369.html ) Our team will certainly be very interested about DSpace clustering. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: James Rutherford [mailto:james.rutherford at hp.com] Sent: Thu 01/03/2007 6:49 AM To: Tellier, Stephane Cc: Dspace-general at mit.edu Subject: Large-scale DSpace repositories (was Re: [Dspace-general] Another committer) Hi Stephane, On Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 08:19:52AM -0500, Tellier, Stephane wrote: > Since you seem to have worked on the China Digital Museum project, I > was wondering if it could be possible for you to give some > informations about the hardware specs and the hardware architecture > (SAN server, load balancing, multiple dspace instances, etc.) about > that project.

I haven't been involved with the hardware specification for the data centres that will be operating, but I could probably get some information (the estimate is that they will eventually hold ~200TiB of content each). As for multiple instances, load balancing, etc, myself and Graham Triggs are looking into clustering mechanisms for DSpace, both for the database and for the servlet container. If you would like to contribute to this effort, or read up on what we have found so far, I suggest you review this page: http://wiki.dspace.org/HOWTO_Clustering This page is very much a work in progress; none of the proposed mechanisms of clustering on that page have been successful yet (though we are still working on it). For your project, it may be worth purchasing clustering services from someone like Oracle (I've not listed that as an option because I wanted to provide information on what can be done for free). > Actually in our team, we're trying to implement a DSpace solution for > a library and we could expect to have needs for a very large number of > digital documents (over a million could be a possibility), and we are > asking ourselves what kind of servers and architecture should we used > for that range. This is not an easy question to answer, which is presumably why someone is paying you to answer it ;) Without knowing more detail about the typical document type, size, etc, it would be difficult to give any advice on this. That said, no-one is running a DSpace repository with more than ~200,000 items, so predicting performance and coming up with an architecture for repositories with >1,000,000 documents is naturally rather difficult. cheers, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dspace-general mailing list Dspace-general at mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/dspace-general -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I put the entry handle provided by a colleague or that is returned in a search into a browser (Firefox usually) and I get a message window stating that "The certificate could not be verified for unknown reasons." Or "Unable to verify the identity this.particular.domain as a trusted site." If I use Internet Explorer 7, I get a more ominous message strongly suggesting that I do not connect to the site. I understand that these messages arise because the SSL certificate that is being presented by the repository is not in my browser's list of trusted sites. And I know enough to examine the certificate more closely, and I'm usually OK with accepting the certificate for a one-time access. But I think that other scholars, researchers, and interested citizens will be confused and uncertain about how to proceed. I did a little browsing at several DSpace repositories around the world and many of them do not require a secure connection. So I'm wondering why some handles resolve to https and others to http. I'm also wondering if presenting so-called untrusted site messages to patrons will make the repositories seem less trustworthy. I'm concerned here with the interaction experience of the users and patrons. I'm not a specialist, so any clarifications and corrections are welcome.

I'm concerned > here with the interaction experience of the users and patrons. Most users should understand self-signed certs, and if the cert name/address match the URL it shouldn't matter. The sad fact is that SSL certs from well known CAs are nothing more than a protection "monopoly" that the industry (browser and CA industry) has supported through misinformation. Anyone can pay a CA to get a certificate, yet they don't provide any real protection to the end user. A self-signed cert is probably more secure than a cert from the big CAs since you control how secure the cert actually is and its valid lifetime. The sad fact is that there are CAs out there that don't charge money (http://www.cacert.org/ for one).

Actually, since the purpose of a server certificate is to confirm that the server machine is a bona fide representative of the organization it names. It may be more obvious in a commercial application, where you want to be sure that the site you're giving your credit card number to is truly Amazon.com and not some imposter -- your browser does this by checking the signature on amazon.com's server cert against the public key it already has for the CA that created that cert. So, it's true you're implicitly trusting your browser and the organization that runs the CA that created Amazon's server cert, and most users have no idea what that means. Some CA's now offer "premium" certificates where they supposedly check up on the veracity of the requestor more carefully, but you're right, it's mostly a sleazy protection racket. So, a self-signed cert is no use at all to identify the server, but it's just as effective at encrypting the connection. Don't count on users to understand this distinction, unfortunately.. Mark Diggory has a clever configuration setup on our DSpace at MIT IR that allows it to run under unencrypted HTTP and just redirect to HTTPS for the login page where you enter a password, and then go back to HTTP. The only risk of this technique is that your authentication cookie gets sent in cleartext, but as of DSpace 1.4 it is protected against cookie-sniffing attacks. -- Larry From sdl at aber.ac.uk Sat Mar 10 16:22:49 2007 From: sdl at aber.ac.uk (Stuart Lewis [sdl]) Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2007 21:22:49 +0000 Subject: [Dspace-general] UKETD Plug-In In-Reply-To: <20070306111936.GG21764@pomona.hpl.hp.com> Message-ID: Hi all, > ?verb=ListIdentifiers&metadataPrefix=UKETD_DC Can I just check that you have tried using uketd_dc (lowercase) rather than UKETD_DC (uppercase) ?

I'd quite like to be convinced of its merits given it takes effort to remove this from the record or potentially a reconfiguration of some sort to prevent this automatic attribution.

The community/collection structure was meant to be a convenience for adopters, not a constraint on how the repository is set up in your institution...you should do whatever makes the most sense. The one issue you may run into is submission rights...if you intend to have distributed submission by authors (as opposed to the library doing it for them), then you need to create a DSpace e-person for each of them and assign them rights to deposit to specific communities/collections. If you organize you site by subject and you can't be sure which subjects a particular author might need to submit to, then you'll have a lot of work setting up those permissions... but it's doable.

Most DSpace sites (including MIT's) are intended for both. The submitters who submit get the dissemination, and the libraries manage that content for them. Some submitters chose *not* to disseminate... they just want their content managed, and the system handles that fine -- it's strictly a local policy decision which you encode in the access rights for the system. What DSpace currently lacks for true records management is scheduling... there is a little bit of code in there waiting to be finished and turned on to handle retention schedules and the like, but it isn't current functionality.

DATES: May 30-June 1, 2007 LOCATION: Emory University, Atlanta, GA MORE INFORMATION: http://metascholar.org/events/2007/ddp/index.php AUDIENCE: Administrators and System Administrators from institutions seeking to build or join distributed digital preservation networks. DESCRIPTION: Geared toward teams of administrators and system administrators, this workshop will provide information and specialized training for institutions seeking to build or join distributed digital preservation networks based on the LOCKSS software. On the first day of the workshop, we will present key strategies for establishing a secure LOCKSS-based digital archive to teams of administrators and system administrators. The second and third days will train system administrators to implement a network and/or an individual node. REGISTRATION: Participants may register for the entire three day workshop, or only the first day. Registration is limited to the first 60 people to register. The Workshop registration fee is $150 for one day and $350 for three days. The fee includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon break for each day of the workshop. Transportation and accommodation costs are not covered by this registration fee. OVERVIEW: Day One (for teams of administrators and system administrators) The first day of the workshop will help attendees to develop and strengthen their plans for distributed digital preservation. Presentations and discussions will address the organizational, legal, technical, and financial elements of digital preservation. Workshop instructors will share with attendees the policies and procedures utilized in MetaArchive, including its metadata conspectus tool, its Cooperative Charter document, and its Deposit Agreement template. During the day, workshop attendees will work with instructors to develop digital preservation plans that suit their specific implementation contexts. Topics to be covered include: * Network context * Digital content selection processes * Metadata capture * Intellectual property issues * Content migration * Organizing a network (models) * Partnership management tools Days Two and Three (for system administrators) The second and third days of the workshop are designed for system administrators. Workshop instructors will address the technical implementation of a distributed digital preservation network. Attendees will learn how to produce and manage private LOCKSS networks. Topics to be covered include: * LOCKSS installation * Plug-in creation * Content preparation * Metadata management * Monitoring the cache * Recovering a node HOSTS: The MetaArchive Cooperative is an independent, multi-state membership association whose purpose is to support, promote, and extend the MetaArchive approach to distributed digital preservation practices. (http://www.metaarchive.org). This approach relies upon a distributed preservation network infrastructure that is based on the LOCKSS software (http://www.lockss.org). The MetaArchive Cooperative began as a collaborative venture of Emory University, Auburn University, Florida State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Louisville, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and the Library of Congress. The initiative began in 2004 as part of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) supported by the Library of Congress. The MetaArchive Cooperative is responsible for maintaining and extending its methodology and approach to distributed digital preservation, as well as the specific MetaArchive networks that it hosts (e.g., the MetaArchive of Southern Digital Culture).

But you can restrict the access to an item (either complete item by DEFAULT_ITEM_READ or just the bitstreams by DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ) to a group and then authenticate the users as members of the group by domain using this patch http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1566820&group_id=19984&atid=319984 or creating your own stackable authentication method. Claudia P. S. be aware that apart from any restrictions part of the items metadata information is allways visible in browse indices and other item listings.

See http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/. There are examples of SRU and SRW clients in the SRW package that I distribute. While I realize that it isn't wonderful documentation, a number of sites have implemented it with little or no problems. As an SRU implementor, I'd be glad to answer any questions you have, either on the dspace-tech list, the SRU list or offline.

As we move things to a new server I just want to get a sense of whether or not it's worth all the effort to move from our current version to the newer one. Thanks in advance. ================================== Mr. Glenn Bunton Head of Systems Development Old Dominion University Libraries Norfolk, Virginia 23529 gbunton at odu.edu (757) 683-5952 =================================== From sleonard at kshs.org Tue Mar 27 16:15:52 2007 From: sleonard at kshs.org (Scott Leonard) Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:15:52 -0500 Subject: [Dspace-general] Ordering of Multi-Part Submissions Message-ID: <46097B78.5070006@kshs.org> I have a question about how DSpace orders multi-part submissions, and I apologize if the question has already been asked. We have a number of multi-part items in our repository, items where the "document" consists of multiple parts, e.g. a report broken into chapters where each chapter is a separate bitstream. It appears when looking at these items that the repository, even if the submitter is careful in ordering the parts sequentially (chapter 1 before chapter 2), the repository presents the "randomly" to someone viewing the item (see http://hdl.handle.net/1984/202 as an example). Does it matter the order in which we submit multi-part items or will DSpace always randomize the parts on an item view? Thanks. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scott A.

Best practice. Message-ID: <256a40030703291034t3fa3d1ecub90137f89df1edc@mail.gmail.com> Here is what we have, followed by a best practice question. A data set, with a Code, a Discipline, and a Description. Specifically these are ADA dental procedure codes. What we want to do is assign one or more of these codes to items placed into a collection. Then when searching, we need it to search in the description field. Now the question part. I did explore using the MeSH codes, since it seems that most of the ADA codes are a subset of the MeSH. However, the codes are different, and there does not seem to be a 1 to 1 mapping. For other reasons we really need to use the actual ADA codes from this data set. This is where I am stumped. It could all just be done with keywords, but this is not efficient, especially with regards to the descriptions. The other option I explored was to register a new metadata namespace and name. Then, add Elements, Qualifiers, and Scope Notes for the Discipline, Code, and Description respectively. But this methodology also does not seem right. In the DSpace structure, is there a clear best practice for facilitating this need?
