It seems like the majority of institutions make this mirror their academic department structure (i.e. a collection for the school of arts and sciences, with the community for the most department, the history department, etc.). I have heard some repository managers talk about problems they've had with this layout, but I have not heard about any proven alternatives. Additionally, we will be using their DSpace repository for more than just an institutional repository; we will also be using it as a generalized Digital Library product. For example, digitized and born-digital objects from our archives and special collections will be deposited in DSpace, as well as possible cross-disciplinary faculty projects. Moreover, we would also like a location for non-faculty, non-department affiliated staff to deposit traditional institutional repository objects, such as presentations and papers. Does anyone have alternative collections and community models aside from the traditional departmental structure? If so, would you be willing to share what you have learned? What works and what doesn't?

We are especially interested in how the DSpace structure can be used to instantiate archival descriptive practice and are experimenting with where to apply descriptive elements. We are holding materials for our school, but we are also hosting temporarily other collections that are being processed as student projects. You may be interested especially in several collections of literary born-digital materials that we are hosting for the Harry Ransom Center here at UT: though you cannot due to copyright issues and HRC policy actually see the items, you can look at the community-subcommunity-collection structures that my students have made in mirroring the published or in-progress HRC finding aids for paper materials from the same collections (augmented where the born-digital has no paper analog). Look at https://pacer.ischool.utexas.edu/ and look under the Special Projects community. The Michael Joyce collection is especially fleshed out structurally (though the finding aid for paper collections is not yet complete, since in this case the paper is less important), but there are other collections for Arnold Wesker, Leon Uris, John Crowley, and Norman Mailer. To get a feeling for how the DSpace structure reflects the HRC's practice in creating archival finding aids, especially compare the Wesker finding aids here http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/research/fa/ Pat Galloway School of Information University of Texas at Austin From sam.alloing at gmail.com Sat May 5 10:46:26 2007 From: sam.alloing at gmail.com (Sam Alloing) Date: Sat, 5 May 2007 16:46:26 +0200 Subject: [Dspace-general] OAI Harvester plugin Message-ID: Hello, I'm trying to use the OAI Harvester plugin from Old Dominion University .

However, I think there are several essential things which need to be solved at first: 1. How to make the health record, X-ray images, etc ingested into DSpace. For example, it's necessary to know that if DSpace support DICOM and other relevant metadata. 2. How to set up the security level. I think a healthcare database like what you mentioned should have high privacy requirement. Therefore, how to set up the tradeoff between a working system and a really helpful system should be very necessary. But anyway, it'll be very great that DSpace could be used in such a way! I'm really looking forward to it and I'm also curious to ask if there have already been such efforts carrying on somewhere.

The foundation will be newly formed non-profit corporation that will supply organizational, legal and financial support to the DSpace software project. I expect the corporation will become a legal entity in the next two months, the papers are currently being filed and a Board of Directors has been established. Over the next several months I hope to get input from many of you in the community as to how the foundation can assist the community in the short and long term. I plan on putting together a roadmap for the foundation to outline a plan for the next several years, and sharing that with you at upcoming conferences and online. I do have a few projects in the short term I would like to ask for your help. We would like to submit all the current public DSpace sites to Internet Archive for the public two billion page crawl funded by the Mellon Foundation(find out more at http:// wa.archive.org/aroundtheworld/). I n order to do this I need a complete list of sites. If you have not done so, please add you site to the DSpace wiki over the next few days at http://wiki.dspace.org/ index.php/DspaceInstances. Note that you may need to register yourself to edit the page and if you have problems with that please let me know. To announce the formation of the DSpace Foundation and help promote the DSpace projects we would like your help in coming up with some success stories, for example, how items have been used in your DSpace installation to promote further research and collaboration. We would also like to know what is the most popular or unique item in your DSpace installation. Please email me back with the next two weeks with your stories and favorite items. Or you can post on the wiki at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/SuccessStories. Thank-you for your help, and I look forward to a successful launch of the new DSpace Foundation.

I have recently started to use the DSpace software. I am neither librarian nor IT specialist, but just a student, and for now I would only like to manage my own collection of mathematics books (collected from various sites on the Internet), the most of which have been scanned from paper and stored in DjVu format. As you know, there is a project on , "djvulibre", which provides an open-source implementation of DjVu. The package includes a utility, "djvutxt", for extracting the text layer from a previously OCR-ed DjVu files. I have just written a MediaFilter class that invokes this utility to get the extracted text. For now, it works well, but I haven't done many tests with it yet. Nevertheless, I would like to share the code with the members of the DSpace community, who will eventually want to improve it. For I have only entry-level Java programming skills, so the code is most likely inefficient and/or buggy. What I actually did, is to put the following lines in [dspace-source]/config/dspace.cfg file: plugin.sequence.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.MediaFilter = \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.DjVuFilter, \ ... filter.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.DjVuFilter.inputFormats = DjVu as well as to add the following element to [dspace-source]/config/registries/bitstream-formats.xml: image/vnd.djvu DjVu DjVu 1 false djvu djv and to put the source code DjVuFilter.java in the [dspace-source]src/org/dspace/app/mediafilter directory before running "ant fresh_install". Here is the source code: -------------------------------------DjVuFilter.java------------------------------------- /* DjVuFilter.java Version: 0.1 DSpace version: 1.4.2 beta Author: Ivan Penev e-mail: inpenev at gmail.com */ package org.dspace.app.mediafilter; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.BufferedInputStream; import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.BufferedOutputStream; import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.File; /** * This class provides a media filter for processing files of type DjVu. *

The current implementation uses a program called djvutxt, which extracts the text layer from a previously OCR-ed DjVu file and saves it into a UTF-8 text document. The program is distributed with the djvulibre package which is freely available under the GPL license from http://djvu.sourceforge.net/ for both Unix and Windows operating systems. Hence, for the media filter to work it is required that djvutxt is a valid command (in the working environment).

*/ public class DjVuFilter extends MediaFilter { /** * Get a filename for a newly created filtered bitstream. * * @param sourceName * name of source bitstream * @return filename generated by the filter - for example, document.djvu * becomes document.djvu.txt */ public String getFilteredName(String sourceName) { return sourceName + ".txt"; } /** * Get name of the bundle this filter will stick its generated bitstreams. * * @return "TEXT" */ public String getBundleName() { return "TEXT"; } /** * Get name of the bitstream format returned by this filter. * * @return "Text" */ public String getFormatString() { return "Text"; } /** * Get a string describing the newly-generated bitstream. * * @return "Extracted text" */ public String getDescription() { return "Extracted text"; } /** * Get a bitstream filled with the extracted text from a DjVu bitstream. *

The bitstream supplied as a parameter is written to a DjVu file on the file system (in the working directory), and the system command djvutxt is called on the latter to produce a UTF-8 text file containg the extracted text. The file is then copied to a bitstream. Finally, the auxiliary files are removed from the file system, and the generated bitsream is returned as a result.

We have since corrected this problem and now need to recreate our community / collection / item. We have read the following caveat in the DSpace documentation: "DSpace does have a function to fully delete an item ('expunge'), used in a similar way to the withdraw tool, but it is strongly recommended you do not use it." http://docs.ndltd.org:8080/dspace/help/collection-admin.html Is it safe for us to Delete/Expunge this one item (and associated collection and community)?

In-Reply-To: <464C7E4C.9050700@mit.edu> References: <464C7E4C.9050700@mit.edu> Message-ID: <4651DD42.8020209@mit.edu> Hi, We're looking at the possibility of adding visual simulations (3D and otherwise) to our DSpace repository and I'm curious to know if anyone else has considered or made progress in this area (or the area of simulations more broadly speaking)? Although not strictly visual, so far I've found a few examples of simulations at Cornell which include software and supporting data files, manuals, readme files, etc. Again, I'm assuming the range of possible objects that would come under the definition of simulation could be quite broad. Are there other examples out there? Issues you may have confronted, metadata requirements, storage needs, intellectual property issues, caveats, etc. I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

I am happy to say, thanks to the hard work of Alex Brennan, the problem has been fixed for now. Over the past several months the wiki needed to be locked down due to spam issues. We have now installed a captcha pass- so for a new user, during registration, they must type in the funny looking letters into a box to verify it is a real person. Once registered the person has full edit capability. For those of you who are already registered- your full editing capability has been restored on the public pages. If you had cadet status- your system capabilities remain the same. If you are still having issues or have questions on being able to edit the site please send email to help at dspace.org.

I was wondering if you could advise us on this question: Background: We are working with an online journal editor who, in the past, has included the paper's url in the footer of the paper itself. We would like to accommodate this, but is this feasible? I am pretty sure handle ids are not assigned until the document is completely ingested, so I don't think there is a way of knowing what a url will be before the document has been ingested (please correct me if I am wrong). We were looking at, therefore, waiting for the document to be "archived", getting the assigned handle, then editing the pdf to reflect the new url. Then we would "replace" the bitstream/document in the item record with the updated bitstream. Problem with this solution: It is easy to remove the original bitstream and add in the corrected one, but then the checksum information is no longer correct. Questions: Can DSpace re-run checksums on corrected/replaced bitstreams so that the new checksum value is automatically reflected in the item's metadata (dc_provenance)? Or is this something that must be corrected manually in the metadata? ps: If there is no easy way to do this, we will get back with the editor.

This new versions (1.1) of the Add-ons are mainly an upgrade for DSpace 1.4.x, but there are also new features in both Add-ons: Statistics Add-on: - Detection, processing and distinction of access/downloads from the repository institution - New 3:4 country flags (Courtesy from Arthur Sale) Request Copy Add-on: - Change access to Open Access option at the end of the replying process. The new versions of the Add-ons are available on the DSpace Wiki: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/StatisticsAddOn http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/RequestCopy We are planning to work on a 2.0 version of the Statistics during 2007, with improved interface, new statistics, graphic representations of data, etc. If you?re using, or plan to use the statistics add-on, and want to discuss and/or contribute to the development of the DSpace statistics, please contact us using the following email address: repositorium at sdum.uminho.pt. A description of both add-ons is included below. Statistics Add-on The Stats system is an add-on to the DSpace platform. This system 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 Reposit?riUM, 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 * Detection, processing and distinction of own institution access * 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 Request Copy Add-on It was suggested by Stevan Harnad that we develop a "request eprint by email" feature for DSpace, similar to one that has recently been implemented in GNU Eprints for deposits whose full-text access privileges are set to Restricted Access (RA) rather than Open Access (OA), in order to tide over any RA period with facilitated email access. The Request Copy Add-on is this feature developed initially for DSpace 1.3.2 and now also available for DSpace 1.4. The purpose of this feature is to increase both the content deposited in Institutional Repositories (IRs) and its immediate usability by providing a way to accommodate the (frequently unfounded) worries of authors and their institutions about copyright infringement during any publisher embargo periods on public self-archiving, by creating a semi-automated mechanism whereby would-be users can request and authors can email an individual copy of a full-text deposited with access set as RA. This feature will be very important for advancing OA if universities and other research institutions adopt the Generic Model for an Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandate ( http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/71-guid.html). In this model, depositing immediately (upon acceptance for publication) is mandatory whereas setting deposit immediately to OA is merely encourages, leaving the decision up to the author. This is how the ?Request Copy? feature works: 1- In all non-OA items (we consider non-OA all DSpace items/files that have access different from Anonymous) there is a link to a ?Request a Copy to the author? Form, activated in the View/Open link and also on the ?Restricted Access/Request-a-copy? logo that we added at the side. 2- The requester must enter his/her email address and name, and may add a comment, and press a ?Request-a-copy? button. 3 ? An email is sent to the depositor (either one of the authors, or their designee). The text of the mail is configurable (in our case we made an express statement to forward the mail to the author(s) if the depositor is not author). The email message contains a token. 4 ? Using that token, the author may reply, by just clicking in one of the two buttons available: ?Send Copy?, ?Don?t send copy?. 5 ? After choosing the Send/Don?t send reply, the author is presented with one of the two message models (also configurable and editable) for the reply. Finally, the author must hit the Send button, and the message (including the file(s) if the author chose the Send option) is sent to the requester. 6 ? At the end of the process the author is presented with the option to change the access to Open Access. The author must enter his/her name and email address and hitting a button ?Change to Open Access?. If the author chose to change the access to Open Access, a message is sent to the repository administrator(s) that must manually change the access level.

References: <465EA23F020000D4000062CD@cs-emo.csir.co.za> <465EA2A1020000D4000062D0@cs-emo.csir.co.za> <465ED99F020000D400006325@cs-emo.csir.co.za> Message-ID: <465ED99F020000D400006325@cs-emo.csir.co.za> I have recently installed and started looking at DSpace as a "digital" repository. Background: I work in a science research organisation. We are clustered into hierarchical groups doing "similar" work, but this structure changes and evolves all the time. Most of the work we do is in the form of projects. Each project tackles a particular subject, with a start/end date. As a result of this, any number of digital "objects" are generated: PDF's, images, presentations, reports, spreadsheets, data files, model runs outputs, program code, spatial files etc. Usually, such material is archived on CD and kept "somewhere". The organisation does run a formal Document Management System (DMS); this is typically used for project reports and has the facilities of document security control, access, version tracking etc. Its also integrated into other tools we use. Problem Statement: I need to provision a system that can be used a complete "digital" archive; that stores *all* digital information in an accessible and easily retrievable manner, with easy uploading/downloading of material into the archive. Impression of DSpace: My early, high expectations of DSpace have been tempered somewhat as I have started looking at the interface in more detail. My impression so far is that DSpace seems designed as primarily for occasional storage of literature-type of material, within the framework of a stable organisational framework, whereas I am looking for frequent storage of widely varying material within a shifting organisational framework, accompanied by ongoing staff turnover. I really would like some input from the existing community - especially those that may have similar experience in this kind of environment, whether or not DSpace is the tool to use. In particular, some of the worrying limits I have seen so far are: * need for a static hierarchical organisation-based framework for the information (single vs multiple information categories) * uploading one item at a time (need to deal with sets of directories, with automated metadata tagging) * limited to one set of metadata applied across all digital objects * no "tree view" of information (most staff are used to the classical tree/node view of navigation) * no "ad hoc tagging" facility (social network sites are the fastest growing on the web, for a good reason) * no indexing of the content of uploaded files (to enable ad hoc searches) Please bear in mind this is from the perspective of my needs - this is not a criticism of DSpace per se. Any insights or ideas are appreciated as I need to decide to keep going or look for alternatives.

[snip] I have been using DSpace for over a year now -- 1.3.x and 1.4.x -- on Solaris 10 with Sun's Java System Web Server (6.1 and 7.0). I use DSpace for Indica et Buddhica - Repositorium: a digital archive designed to capture, store, index, preserve, and distribute materials pertinent to Indology and South Asian Buddhology. While the aim is to build an archive that enables Indologists and Buddhologists to catalogue and store a variety of materials -- articles, books, images, theses, software, working papers and so on -- the main concern at present is to lay the foundation by filling the archive with relevant bibliographical records. This is underway and almost 25,000 records are available already, the same number again should be loaded within the next few weeks. More details here: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/sections/repositorium-preview You are at the critical stage of selecting and assessing an archival platform so I will try to address your concerns candidly. I am currently using DSpace only as -- for me -- there is presently no suitable alternative. While I was impressed by proven scalability of Fedora, the lack of a decent Java web app. admin. and user interface ruled it out. (I prefer to avoid PHP apps if possible, and last time I tried Fez it consistently crashed Sun's Web Server -- completely unacceptable on a test server, let alone in production.) Another suite capable of scaling was CDS Invenio (a.k.a. CDSWare). Unfortunately it is rather complex to compile, configure and maintain on Solaris so is not currently an option. Unfortunately, all that is really left is DSpace, with its well known performance and scalability issues. Although these shortcomings have been raised many times on the mailing lists I seen no evidence that they are being addressed with anything but lip service. The discouraging findings of this technical evaluation, I believe, still hold: a.) Technical Evaluation of Research Repositories (Richard Wyles - 2006-09-14 16:49) https://eduforge.org/docman/?group_id=131 >From my own perspective, then, I see DSpace as nothing but a temporary solution until a good Java web app. is developed for Fedora. Another alternative, perhaps more likely in the short term, is Nuxeo's soon to be released Java app. Nuxeo 5. I am already using their Zope based CPS 4 for the front end of my site and very happy with it. Nuxeo claims that CPS 4 has been tested and approved with more than 3TB of live data (3 million documents). It is intended that version 5 will effortlessly scale to over 5TB. This will need to be assessed, but early indications are convincing. Below are a few references.
