From michele at dspace.org Sun Jun 1 08:31:07 2008 From: michele at dspace.org (Michele Kimpton) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2008 08:31:07 -0400 Subject: [Dspace-general] DSpace/Fedora initial discussions on joint collaboration Message-ID: Dear members of the DSpace community, Over the last few weeks, we (Michele Kimpton and Sandy Payette) have been discussing the possibilities of our organizations collaborating. The reasons for exploring the possibilities of collaboration are based on the following: 1.The missions of our non-profit organizations are very similar and we are motivated to provide the best technology and services to many of the same communities 2.Over the next 12-18 months, our existing technology roadmaps suggest convergence of thought in several key areas of our architectural visions 3.We are both motivated to show how our open source repositories offer a unique value proposition compared to proprietary solutions Over the past couple of weeks, we have had informal discussions with members of our communities, leaders in libraries and higher education, and Board members to get initial feedback as to whether they would support collaboration and the outcomes they would like to see as a result. This past week, we convened members of both communities during the PASIG conference to get input and ideas regarding a collaboration. Thus far, all of the stakeholders we have had the opportunity to talk with have been extremely supportive and excited about the possibility of the Fedora and DSpace communities working together in some capacity. As a result of these discussions, we have agreed to move forward in our exploration of collaborative possibilities. Over the next several weeks our organizations will meet to plan the next steps in the process. Our intent is to bring together the ideas and expertise within both communities to come up with the most compelling issues to work on to best serve our communities. As we move through this process it is our commitment to ensure that all discussions, meetings and decisions made are transparent and open in the hopes to engage and inform the community. We look forward to your ideas and inputs! Best Regards, Michele and Sandy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sakai conferences provide a welcoming and informative venue for all all those interested in seeing what the Sakai community and software are all about. The 2008 Sakai Community Conference will be held in Paris, France from Tuesday July 1 through Thursday July 3, with pre-conference sessions and activities on Monday, 30 June. All meetings and conference sessions will be held at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in the 5th arrondissement--a spectacular location in the heart of one of the world's great cities. The ever popular Sakai demonstrations will take place on Wednesday evening, July 2nd, at the conference hotel, the Marriott Rive Gauche, which is located nearby. A special reception, hosted by the Executive Director of the Sakai Foundation, will be held at the Marriott on Monday evening for all Sakai newcomers. If you're relatively new to Sakai this is a great way to learn about how to get the most out of the conference. Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technologies at the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, will deliver the keynote address. Featured speakers include Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs and Chair of the European Learning Industry Group, James Dalziel of Macquarie University and creator of LAMS, Wendy Mackay with INRIA, Futurs at University Paris-Sud. With more than 140 sessions and workshops it promises to be another terrific event. Please visit the conference website (https://sakai.educonference.com/paris/index.php ) to see the preliminary schedule, register for the conference and secure a room at the conference hotel (discounts available through June 10).

In a second step, you can limit access to files to logged-in users only. Of course, if you have strong motivations for allowing non-staff members to create an account with your DSpace, you'll need another solution. Thinking in this direction, it could be useful to extend e-person with an attribute, indicating the difference between on-campus staff, and other e-persons. with kindest 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 2008/6/2 Ramos, Mila (IRRI) : > Hi, > > > > In IRRI, we have just started populating our DSpace repository.

As well as the options already suggested, you could consider using 'IP authentication'. This authentication option examines the IP address of the user to decide what privileges to grant them.

As a consequence, the only information that will be used in the search, will be the metadata of your items. On the other hand, if you really want to go this way, it is now by default possible in DSpace 1.5 to disable the hard requirement to include a full-text in the submission (so you can skip the file upload step). We often see that authors or institutions choose to take the approach, to provide a URL, rather than uploading the full text. an example: https://lirias.kuleuven.be/handle/123456789/15035 In many cases, this is because they feel more secure (in a copyright-way) when linking to the website of the publisher, instead of uploading the full-text in the repository. with kindest 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 2008/6/3 Janssens Karen : > Hello > > Does anyone have experience with using DSpace only as a 'publication and > distribution platform' providing the metadata and links to the > full-textitems, while those full-textitems are stored not within the > DSpace repository but on a different location.

Looking at our logs, a very large proportion of accesses are from search engines, and counting these as "views" and "downloads" would be very misleading. Or am I wrong, and the statistics packages are (or can be) set to exclude search engine accesses?

I've been working with an institutional center which is outside of our university but very closely affiliated with it. We were about to make some final decisions about community and collection development when my contact discovered a new Subject Repository supporting the type of research conducted at their Center and wants to explore this alternative before committing to submitting their work to our university repository. http://www.policyarchive.net/index.php I am wondering if others have run into this dilemma and can provide me with many good reasons why submission should take place in and institutional repository rather than a subject repository? Also, as a side question, I know you can item map within your own DSpace instance, but is it possible to item map to another DSpace instance?

The dilemma has a simple, optimal and universal solution: Direct deposit should be in the IR. SRs and CRs can harvest from IRs. That's what the OAI protocol is for. Institutions are the research providers. They are the ones with the direct stake in the record-keeping and showcasing of their own research output, and in maximizing its accessibility, visibility, usage and impact. Institutions are also in the position to mandate that their own research output be deposited in their own IR; funder mandates can reinforce that, and can benefit from institutional monitoring and oversight (as long as they too mandate institutional deposit and central harvesting, rather than direct central deposit). Convergent institutional self-archiving makes sound sense and scales systematically to cover all of research output space, whereas divergent self-archiving, willy-nilly in SRs and CRs is arbitrary and simply produces confusion, conflict, and frustration in researchers, if they need to deposit multiply. (Before you reply to sing the praises of SRs and CRs, recall that their virtues are identical if they are harvested rather than the loci of direct deposit. The overwhelming benefit of IR deposit is that that is the way to ensure that all research output is universally self-archived.)

DSpace Foundation would like to help organize a stand-alone DSUG meeting sometime between September - November 2009 in Europe. We've already have a few informal offers to host the meeting, but before we make a decision we would like to give the entire DSpace community a chance to propose their location. Some of the key criteria for hosting the meeting include: -location must be easily accessible for international participants (i.e. close to an international airport) -meeting facilities must accommodate at least 200 people for 2 days -maximum charges per participant should not exceed $300 -meeting facilities must be close to enough available, inexpensive lodging for participants If you are interested in hosting the next DSUG meeting, please contact me at val at dspace.org.

This will be the first in many discussions with our communities in the hopes of coming up with tangible ways to easily work together. In our effort to make these discussions as transparent and participatory we have set up a skypecast. Skypecast is a broadcast of the meeting available for anyone with a skype account to listen in and participate. The Skypecast can accommodate 100 people. In addition to the Skypecast, we will post the notes from the meeting on our wikis, and hope to have a recording of the meeting that anyone can download. We realize the technology, language and timing to get massive transparent participation is very limited. However, we promise to continue to make all discussions open and have multiple opportunities to voice your opinion, this being the first of many possible opportunities. If you would like to listen in tomorrow(Tuesday 1pm EDT, GMT-5 hours) , the meeting will go for 3 or 4 hours and you can log in at: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=4668237 or search for DSpace at: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/home You must have a skype account to join the meeting and currently skypecast does not support MAC. I would also welcome any input you would like to send me directly or by skype at mbkimpton.

I've heard this said in the past by others and expect to hear from them about it. But, I think overall, its a misinterpretation by the DSpace community that the Library Profile somehow sets any more guidelines on these values than the DCMI dc.type does, which is "almost none". Maybe it was talked about in the past, but the Profile and all its past revisions don't go anywhere near formally defining a list of types and/or how to derive such types. What I read only suggests a few sources that might be good for basing types on like MARC Genres and DCMITypes, of which this list seems to take bits and pieces of.. http://dublincore.org/documents/2002/09/24/library-application- profile#Type The Library Profile states that dc/dcterms:type could "possibly" be populated with something like: http://dublincore.org/usage/terms/dc/current-schemes/ and/or http://www.loc.gov/marc/sourcecode/genre/genresource.html There is a considerable "Open Question" of: > Consider registering values defined in the MARC list of sources as > encoding schemes as well as any others that are identified as useful. Add to this... The suggestive Best Practice "statement" of including at least one DCMITType as a dc.type. Which I interpret to mean, "it'd sure be nice if your application somehow defined the values used in dc.types as SubClasses of true DCMI VocabularyEncodings". Drilling into the DCMI intentions for this term is an entertaining adventure... I've started to rely on the RDF schemas as the closest thing I can get to an intention for the field. dcterms.type only "suggests" the following "Vocabulary Encodings": http://dublincore.org/2008/01/14/dctype.rdf Collection Dataset Event Image InteractiveResource Service Software Sound Text PhysicalObject StillImage MovingImage All are subclasses of the DCMIType RDFS Class and are what are referred to as a "Vocabulary Encoding Scheme" in the DCMI Abstract Model. Anyone can extend DCMIType and introduce their own Vocabulary Schemes. This all suggests that any list of types suggested for dc:type (regardless of any Application Profile) is very subjective, localized to implementation (i.e. DSpace) and highly subject to interpretation. More personally, I feel that in DSpace's type list, the types often are only vaguely informative as to the true nature of the content we are dealing with. Animation Article Book Book chapter Dataset Learning Object Image Image, 3-D Map Musical Score Plan or blueprint Preprint Presentation Recording, acoustical Recording, musical Recording, oral Software Technical Report Thesis Video Working Paper Other I find it odd that some of the types are quite granular and specific (type of recording as Oral, Musical, Acoustical?!), while others are extremely generalized and abstract (Learning Object? Dataset? Article?). I'm unsure what an "Other" is, but assume its no better than just leaving the dc.type out altogether on my Items. Besides this, we are learning that the submitter, with a lack of knowledge about these types are, and/or not having an appropriate type for their item, will tend to misclassify it. For instance, how does one classify a researchers archived website Home-page, or any other website that doesn't meet the requirements of this list? For example here is a wonderful item in DSpace at MIT, its a dc:type=Image and an dc:type=Article http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5558?mode=full Heres another... classified as dc:type=Other http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/7307?mode=full So, To be more specific, I'm rather wary of calling this a formal list, specifically because in DSpace there is no control over the field outside of the submission UI (for instance in Package ingest and ItemImporter. And its wholly acceptable to see other types entered here, note dc:type has no formal restriction on its value. Attempting to enforce a profile on it may benefit your local application, but will "always only be centric to that application". This is a great question! It opens my eyes to the misconception I had made based on the documentation and discussions with others about the Library Profile. I'm now will be more critical when the topic arises. As well, It reaffirms my opinions that I am on the right track in pushing that the DSpace metadata architecture needs some serious improvement if its going to be brought current with the evolving DCMI approaches. Part of this should be the consideration more formally defining this list while allowing for additions/refinements/ equivalencies to be added as needed! Cheers, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.

Higher-education leader David Shulenburger, Science Commons head John Wilbanks, and marketing communications strategist Bob Witeck are keynote speakers slated for the SPARC Digital Repositories Meeting 2008 in Baltimore on November 17-18. The international gathering, organized by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) in cooperation with SPARC Europe, and SPARC Japan (a Japan National Informatics Institute initiative), will offer a practical exploration of how open online archives hosted by universities, colleges, and government agencies can enhance their service to scholars, institutions, and the public. In the opening keynote address, John Wilbanks, Vice President for Science at Creative Commons and director of the Science Commons program, will provide his unique and inspiring vision for the potential of a fully enabled research Web. The following day, Bob Witeck, CEO and co-founder of Witeck-Combs Communications, a renowned marketing communications and public relations agency in Washington, DC, will tackle how repository advocates can introduce their services to campus and agency communities. David Shulenburger, Vice President for Academic Affairs at the National Association of State University and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) will wrap up the meeting with a public policy perspective on the emerging role of open digital repositories. Joining the keynoters are speakers and panelists from around the world, who will look at four conference program areas ? The Policy Environment, New Horizons, Value-added User Services, and Campus Publishing Strategies. Invited speakers include: Sayeed Choudhury (Johns Hopkins University, USA), Rea Devakos (University of Toronto T- Space, Canada), Norbert Lossau (Goettingen State and University Library and DRIVER, Germany), Bernard Rentier (University of Liege, Belgium), and Syun Tutiya (Chiba University, Japan).

A full transcript of the meeting, including the list of ideas that resulted from the discussion are posted on the wiki at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Fedora_Collaboration . DSpace Foundation and Fedora commons hopes to pick select projects over the next few months to work on with the input, support, and assistance from both our communities. This summer we will work on collecting broader input and feedback from both communities to help identify the most worthwhile projects that best serve both communities. We encourage and look forward to your input! Please feel free to email or post your comments on the wiki page noted above. We will keep you informed as we advance this process.
