Message-ID: <200807080927.m689RZ3R002047@lmtp1.ucs.ed.ac.uk> Apologies for cross-posting. The organising committee of the Edinburgh Repository Fringe (www.repositoryfringe.org) is pleased to announce two compelling keynote speakers to challenge the community and stimulate discussion and direction for the future. Opening Keynote: Le IR, c'est mort. Vive le IR! (Dorothea Salo) Closing Plenary: How Repositories can avoid Failing like the Grid (Professor David De Roure) Dorothea Salo is an experienced repository administrator who understands that the job is not easy and that repository software has to take its share of the blame. We hope that her call for "serious reconsideration of repository missions, goals and means" will open the fringe agenda as we mean to go on - with a message to get repositories in touch with the needs and realities of academic life on both sides of the ingest interface! Professor David De Roure is a leading e-Science and Semantic Web researcher who has been using technology to enable new research in multiple disciplines. His experience of the technologies and communities delivering Web, Web 2.0, Web 3.0 and the Grid gives him a unique perspective on what developments have been effective, and what have resulted in stagnant and obscure systems. For further information, please see the Repository Fringe web site (www.repositoryfringe.org) and the Repository Fringe Wiki (wiki.repositoryfringe.org). --- Les Carr and Theo Andrew, Repository Fringe Co-chairs On behalf of the Repository Fringe Organising Committee -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

By making the material in the repository not available for public copy or downloading, it's putting a barrier in place that is more-or-less philosophically opposed to the goals of most repositories. If you do wish to keep material private, there are better solutions for a closed/dark archive than DSpace. Your budget and technological skills are the limiting factors, of course.

The DSpace Foundation, and the committers, are interested in how many installations of 1.5 and XMLUI there are to date. This will help us to guide maintenance releases. For those of you waiting on 1.5.1, the committer team is working to get it wrapped up now, and the foundation is working to integrate it's documentation. If you are working with 1.5, or planning to in the near future, would you please answer the following questions? You may reply either directly to me, or to a list if you feel it's of general interest. What is your organisation (if not obvious)? Are you using DSpace 1.5, and as of what date? When do you hope to have DSpace 1.5 in production? Are you using XMLUI? Are you using JSPUI? Have you used any patches to solve problems? Do you have any unsolved problems? Are you waiting on 1.5.1 (or subsequent releases) for any reason? Any other comments? Thank you for your time and interest.

INNOVATION FAIR Registration now open for November event (July 14, 2008) SPARC, in partnership with SPARC Europe and SPARC Japan (an initiative of the National Institute of Informatics), is hosting the SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008, November 17 and 18, at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland. Librarians, researchers, funders, administrators, government officials, publishers, and technologists from around the world will share their experiences and best practices in building and supporting institutional and disciplinary digital repositories. The focus will be on effective engagement with scholars and scientists to expand the sharing of research outputs via open repositories. The meeting program, being developed by a diverse and expert program committee, will delve into four key areas: The Policy Environment, New Horizons, Building Bridges: Campus Publishing Strategies, and Value- Added Services. These tracks will be supplemented with an Innovation Fair and a Practicum on marketing and advocacy. The organizers now invite proposals to the Innovation Fair. The Innovation Fair is an event inspired by Open Repositories? Minute Madness that invites participants to present, in no more than two or three minutes, innovative or creative approaches to: Use of repository content (such as new publishing models, data visualizations, data-mining, mash-ups, educational resources, etc.) Discovery of research outputs (such as area-of-interest profiling, peer-discovery channels, content recommendations, research news integration, discipline aggregations or information portals, etc.) Value-added services (such as author bibliographies, usage reporting, research promotion, multi-target deposit, distributed discovery channels, content of interest alerts, deposit rights clearance, etc.) Repository promotion (such as creative marketing techniques, slogans, graphics, elevator speeches, etc.) Fair projects will be featured on the Crowdvine network for the conference at http://sparc08.crowdvine.com, where presenters will be asked to post their slide or graphic on the network in a blog post. Meeting participants will be encouraged to constructively comment, build, and expand upon them with new ideas through their own posts and graphics. For details and to submit a proposal to the Innovation Fair, visit http://www.arl.org/sparc/ir08 . Submissions must be received no later than August 10. The SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008 is supported by major contributions from Microsoft (Conference Sponsor), Berkeley Electronic Press and BioMed Central (Coffee Break Sponsors), and by additional contributions from a number of Supporting Organizations. This is the first North American SPARC digital repositories conference since the organization?s popular 2004 meeting, which drew hundreds of participants from around the globe and set the stage for some of the key developments of the past four years. To register, book accommodation, and for more information, visit the conference Web site at http://www.arl.org/sparc/meetings/ir08/. ## SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), with SPARC Europe and SPARC Japan, is an international alliance of more than 800 academic and research libraries working to create a more open system of scholarly communication. SPARC's advocacy, educational and publisher partnership programs encourage expanded dissemination of research. SPARC is on the Web at http://www.arl.org/sparc.

This means on XML-UI, you will not have to alter anything to have them show up to your users once you configured them and re-indexed. -Mark On Jul 17, 2008, at 12:41 PM, Shane Beers wrote: > Christina: > > You can read how to do this in the DSpace How-To Guide, found here: > http://www.ideals.uiuc.edu/handle/2142/1043 > > The specific section you would look at is Modify Search Fields. > > Good luck! > > Shane Beers > Digital Repository Services Librarian > George Mason University > sbeers at gmu.edu > http://mars.gmu.edu > 703-993-3742 > > > On Jul 17, 2008, at 3:32 PM, Christina Richison wrote: > >> Are there any institutions that have chosen to index all dc fields >> in the dc metadata registry and make them searchable? >> >> If so, how did you define the new advanced search categories?

Normally, with some XSLT programming, scripts can be created that transform structured types of information into the required XML format. Likewise, when using the exporter, you will need some scripts that convert the xml back to the required catalog format. We worked with a broad range of input data, including spreadsheets, endnote, reference manager, or ASCII formats from legacy dos systems. Although some problems can arise related to character encoding, it should be possible in most cases to create the necessary transformation scripts. with best regards, Bram Luyten -- @mire NV Romeinse Straat 18 3001 Heverlee Belgium +32 2 888 29 56 http://www.atmire.com - Institutional Repository Solutions http://www.togather.eu - Before getting together, get Tog at ther On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 9:24 PM, Beth Tillinghast wrote: > Aloha, > > Can anyone point me to the information I need to be able to import > bibliographic records from our Voyager online catalog into our > repository?

It was inspired by the work the people at Nanyang Technological University had done, using a spreadsheet that held the metadata and running it as a data source through a Java application. My addition is to make it work completely within Excel. A user will build their directory structure and populate it with the bitstreams: parent directory >>subdirectory >>>>bitstream1.jpg >>>>bitstream2.jpg >>subdirectory >>>>bitstream3.pdf And then fill out the columns and rows of the spreadsheet corresponding to each subdirectory. Run the macro, and the dublin_core.xml and contents files are generated and put into their corresponding subdirectories. If you'd like to take a look at this work-in-progress drop me a line and I'll send it to you. I've only tested in on Excel 2003 running on XP. There are still a lot of refinements I want to do to make it easier, and also function things like handling bundles. You still have to use the command-line tool; this just prepares the necessary directory. _____________________ Tom McGee Seton Hall University TLTC 973 761 9000 x5021 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have researchers who find artefacts or images to be digitised and write the metadata for that item. The question is, should they be considered the creator, or should the organisation, the Museum, be the creator. If the museum is the creator, is there a Dublin core element or dspace element that could give the researcher a credit for her work, and also a reference to whom to go to for any questions about the item. Also, has dc.author been deprecated, or is it the same as dc.creator?

I look forward to all of your input, feedback and involvement. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions, and I have started a forum on the website where you can post ideas, comments, concerns, and possible projects in regard to the collaboration. Go to http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=241 and post under DSpace Fedora collaboration. You must register on the website to do this, but all you need is an email. Michele Kimpton July 29, 2008 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sandy Payette, Executive Director Fedora Commons, 607 255-2773, spayette at fedora-commons.org Michele Kimpton, Executive Director DSpace Foundation, 617 253-7746, michele at dspace.org DSpace Foundation and Fedora Commons Form Working Collaboration Washington, D.C.?July 29, 2008 Today two of the largest providers of open source software for managing and providing access to digital content, the DSpace Foundation and Fedora Commons, announced plans to combine strengths to work on joint initiatives that will more closely align their organizations? goals and better serve both open source repository communities in the coming months. This advance comes as institutions such as universities, libraries, museums and research laboratories worldwide are focused on utilizing open source software solutions for the dissemination and preservation of scholarly, scientific, and cultural heritage digital content into the future. Making books, articles, films, music, large and small data sets, scholarly works, multi-media, learning objects and mash-ups from all parts of the globe discoverable and accessible is at the core of the DSpace and Fedora collaboration. The collaboration is expected to benefit over 500 organizations from around the world who are currently using either DSpace (examples include MIT, Rice University, Texas Digital Library and University of Toronto) or Fedora (examples include the National Library of France, New York Public Library, Encyclopedia of Chicago and eSciDoc) open source software to create repositories for a wide variety of purposes. Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) director Clifford Lynch remarked, "Repositories are a key part of the infrastructure for supporting scholarly work, and they need to integrate more effectively with a range of other evolving components. I think there are great opportunities for DSpace and Fedora to work together not only on repository interoperability but on common approaches to repository roles in the scholarly and scientific workflows." The decision to collaborate came out of meetings held this spring where members of DSpace and Fedora Commons communities discussed multiple dimensions of cooperation and collaboration between the two organizations. Ideas included leveraging the power and reach of open source knowledge communities by using the same services and standards in the future. The organizations will also explore opportunities to provide new capabilities for accessing and preserving digital content, developing common web services, and enabling interoperability across repositories. In the spirit of advancing open source software, Fedora Commons and DSpace will look at ways to leverage and incubate ideas, community and culture to: 1. Provide the best technology and services to open source repository framework communities. 2. Evaluate and synchronize, where possible, both organizations? technology roadmaps to enable convergence and interoperability of key architectural components. 3. Demonstrate how the DSpace and Fedora open source repository frameworks offer a unique value proposition compared to proprietary solutions. The announcement came on the heels of an event sponsored by the Joint Information Systems Committee?s (JISC) Common Repository Interface Group (CRIG) held at the Library of Congress. The event, known as ?RepoCamp,? was a forum where developers gathered to discuss innovative approaches to improving interoperability and web- orientation for digital repositories. Sandy Payette, Executive Director of Fedora Commons, and Michele Kimpton, Executive Director of the DSpace Foundation, reiterated their commitment to collaboration and encouraged input and participation from both communities as work gets underway. About the DSpace Foundation The DSpace Foundation (http://dspace.org/) was formed in 2007 to support to the growing global community of institutions using DSpace open source software to manage scholarly works in a digital archive. DSpace was jointly developed in 2002 by HP and the MIT Libraries. Today, there are over more than 350 organizations worldwide a using the software to capture, preserve and share their artifacts, documents, collections and research data.
