Around the time I started working with DSpace (which was around when 1.3.2 was released), I had contacted Nate Sarr of Rochester to get an updated copy of the "Researcher Pages". With his help, I was able to get things up and running pretty easily, and I actually was able to help fix some small bugs and provide code back into the Researcher Pages. A few years ago now, Nate moved off to a different position and asked if I could take on the role of maintaining the Researcher Pages. I accepted that role for the time being, and helped to maintain them and bring them forward into DSpace 1.4.1 (see below patch): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1648129&group_id=19984&atid=319984 However, as the Researcher Pages have not been widely used here at U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, we've made a decision that we will *not* be moving them into the new DSpace 1.5 architecture & the new Manakin interface (the work to do so would be too large, and I honestly haven't the time). As there seems to still be some interest in the "Researcher Pages", I'm hoping someone else will take up support of them. But, at this point, I honestly don't know of any likely candidates as I don't know who is still using them (besides Rochester and UIUC). Hopefully this thread will help generate more discussion and find a new "home" for the Researcher Pages! Feel free to let me know if you have questions on this bit of history. I'm glad to help someone take over the role of maintaining the Researcher Pages. But, as mentioned, I unfortunately would not be able to provide time in migrating them to 1.5 or Manakin. - Tim Sandy De Groote wrote: > I have had difficulty finding dspace code / fix for adding the > functionality of "researcher pages" to dspace (someplace where > researchers can talk about their interests and research).

It doesn't do that kind of logging by default. If you meant, at the DSpace level, well, there's the old History system. It was intended to record changes to the data model as "events" encoded in RDF. Unfortunately, the records don't include much detail about what changed, and they are difficult to connect with actual DSpace objects. For example, the URIs that look like Handles are _not_ Handles; the suffix is really the database ID of the object, e.g. the "item_id" value for an Item. Some of the details in the records do not have enough data to correlate with the events. It writes files in the "history" subdirectory of the DSpace runtime directory, just look for the newest files. For some possibly-inaccurate description, see the "History Recorder" section in the file docs/business.html in the DSpace source distribution. However, the History system got dropped in release 1.5 because nobody seems to use it, and most of the data it recorded was meaningless. 1.5 includes a general-purpose event system you can use to record your own history, however. So, what exactly do you want to know about edit history? For what kinds of DSpace objects? -- Larry From raja13_kumar at yahoo.co.in Sun Mar 9 12:34:14 2008 From: raja13_kumar at yahoo.co.in (raja kumar) Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 16:34:14 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [Dspace-general] IR Workshop Report Message-ID: <833933.54940.qm@web94207.mail.in2.yahoo.com> Three Days National Workshop on Institutional Repositories (Under UGC-DRS-SAP) conducted during 27-29th February 2008, organised by the Department of Information Science, University of Madras, Chennai.

Well... Conal Tuohy has been beavering away here at Victoria University of Wellington getting the new look for the research repository up to match the library's website. There has been some wrestling with XSLT in the Manakin view, some debugging, and four aspects have been created (1. to add a breadcrumb to the breadcrumb trail; 2. a new user interface to subscribe to a collection; 3. an alteration to the arrangement of the browse collections; 4. a controlled vocabulary of labels for bitstreams uploaded). So, if any organisation on this list is thinking about moving to using Manakin, then we have some useful learning to share, once we have celebrated and lain down for a bit.

There is no test-a-thon scheduled for this beta release. However we would all appreciate everyone updating their DSpace test instances with the new beta. Please verify that any bugs submitted during the first beta have been corrected. If they have not, open or reopen a bug report on SourceForge. Alternatively you may send an email to dspace-devel at lists.sourceforge.net with the bug. As far as the DSpace 1.5 release: we're on schedule, but there is still more work to be done. All of the previously identified "release critical" bugs have been fixed, there are only a few minor bugs left. I expect to cut the first release candidate next monday (3/17) or soon thereafter.

The DSpace community participated last year with much success in generating and completing four interesting projects which potentially would be useful to the community at large. The purpose of participation is to potentially build some exciting add-ons for the platform but also promote the open source software and building a community of "future" developers worldwide interested in OSS and advancing open access to to scholarly digital works. We would like to encourage users and developers in the community to post their ideas for projects on the wiki: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code_Ideas_2008 To see ideas from 2007 for reference: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code_Ideas We need to get all ideas posted by MARCH 24th, as this is when the ideas need to be submitted to google as possible projects for interns to review. We have identified mentors in the community for 5 or 6 projects, however if you would like to be a mentor on the project you proposed, and are an active developer in the community please identify your interest in mentoring on the wiki page. Ideally the projects proposed are well defined, can be developed as an add-on, and can work with the current platform 1.5. thanks, Michele Kimpton From swarna.bandara at uwimona.edu.jm Tue Mar 11 22:43:27 2008 From: swarna.bandara at uwimona.edu.jm (Swarna Bandara) Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:43:27 -0500 Subject: [Dspace-general] copy right issues for older material In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <010a01c883ea$d950db80$2b003ac6@uwimona.edu.jm> When archiving older journal articles (say twenty years old) that are not yet available on open access what are the copy right implications?

Let's see the code! Um, have we got an Aspect repository anywhere? Good question! I would like to post the Aspects somewhere public - perhaps on the DSpace Wiki as zipped attachments? I will hold off doing anything with them for a few days, until there's been some discussion about where best to put them. But if anyone is particularly interested I'm happy to email them to whoever wants them. NB all of our Aspects are very small, and all are pure XSLT.

Just a brief explanation of what has been done here (and why) We decided we had to 'defy' the initial-questions page in the default submission UI: 1. Does the item have an alternative title? 2. Has the item been published before? 3. Do you have more than 1 file to upload? All three questions have an impact on the workflow, either by eliding metadata fields (1 & 2) or altering the upload step interface (3). Why? We have chosen to use 'Victoria University of Wellington' as the default value for dc.publisher for all the items in the repository, because effectively we are either publishing or republishing material. Under New Zealand's legislation if you put something online from a server in the country (or as an entity registered in this country), you are a publisher and have obligations under other legislation. We use the dc.rights to record any rights related information about associated publishers/owners. We also have a much smaller number of participants in the workflow, i.e. we haven't rolled out end user submission and much of the handling presently is done in-house by 1 party (they handle it all from end to end on behalf of submitters). In other organisations there maybe several parties in the submission workflow. We struck an issue with having set up dc.publisher with the value 'Victoria University of Wellington' because if we didn't tick the box, a conflict would occur (because of the default dc.publisher value across all collections) and we would have to go in and add the field later on. Or if we did tick the box the default UI compelled the user to complete a date field. I hope I've got this the right way around. Anyway, none of these questions were useful for the VUW workflow and hindered it in one case, so we 'broke' the business logic. If anyone wants to know what we did, please get in contact. Otherwise, have a laugh at what Con and I did to add a certain 'je ne sai quoi' to the workflow.. by taking a look at an image of what we did to keep ourselves (and others) amused.

Has anyone else had a question like this and is there a boiler plate for saying you do not need permission to link? Thanks.

We want to start collecting research publications from faculty and organize them into collections based on their department affiliations. We have a central campus authentication system to verify user credentials but we are not sure yet if we can get their department affiliation for authorization. This would mean restricting users to submit to collections would have to be done in some other way. How are others managing user access for submitting to a collection? If there is a good external authorization system then this could be automated. But in its absence, do you manually add eperson to authorized groups or do you just show all the collections in dspace & let users pick which one to submit to or do you do it any other way? Would members of this group please share their approach. Best, Harish Harish Maringanti Systems Analyst K-State Libraries -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is an important release of DSpace with many new features, including a completely new theme-able Manakin user interface, SWORD integration, many new configurable options, and scalability improvements. Thanks to everyone who participated in the testing of this new release. DSpace 1.5 can be downloaded directly from SourceForge. The documentation for this release is bundled within the package and will be available shortly on the dspace.org website. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/ New Features: * Maven DSpace 1.5 introduces a new Maven-based build system. Maven is a software tool from Apache that allows developers to compile and distribute software projects. Maven also enables DSpace to be more modular by arranging the software into sub-components. In addition, it makes customizations easier by giving developers the tools to maintain customizations, and provides the ability to manage new features as DSpace continues its accelerating growth rate. For more information: http://maven.apache.org/ http://www.devzuz.com/web/guest/products/resources#BBWM * Manakin Customize your repository look-and-feel with the new Manakin theme- able user interface. Manakin introduces a new modular framework, enabling an institution to customize their interface according to the specific needs of the particular repository, community, or collection. For more information: http://www.dlib.org/dlib/november07/phillips/11phillips.html Repositories currently using Manakin: http://repositories.tamu.edu/ http://repositories.tdl.org/ http://www.jobim.org/manakin/ https://www.policyarchive.org/ https://oa.doria.fi/ http://dome.mit.edu/ http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/ * Light Network Interface Integrate DSpace with legacy or local systems that need to manage content in the repository through the new Light Network Interface. This interface provides a programmatic mechanism to manage content within the repository through a WebDAV or SOAP based protocol. For more information: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/LightweightNetworkInterface * SWORD Integrate with the new SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) protocol. Based upon the Atom Publishing Protocol, this interface allows for cross-repository deposit of new content. This protocol may enable future tools that will provide for 'one click' deposit. For more information: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/ukoln/staff/j.allinson/or2007-deposit.pdf http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/SWORD_APP_Profile_1.2 * Browsing The browsing system has been completely re-implemented to provide improved scalability and configuration. The new browsing system enables administrators to easily create new browse indexes. For more information: http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=151&Itemid=116 * Submissions The item submission system is now more configurable by managing the steps a user follows when submitting a new item to the repository. The new submission system allows for these steps to be rearranged, removed, and even allows for new steps to be added. For more information: https://www.ideals.uiuc.edu/bitstream/2142/207/3/OR2007-ConfigurableSubmission.ppt.pdf * Events Another under-the-hood improvement introduced in DSpace 1.5 is the event system, which improves scalability and modularity by introducing an event model to the architecture. This feature will allow future add- ons to automatically manage content in the repository based upon when an object has been added, modified, or removed from the system. For more information: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/EventMechanism I thank everyone who participated in testing Dspace throughout the 1.5 release process. Special thanks to Keith Gilbertson, Stuart Lewis, and Claudia Juergen for submitting many quality bug reports that were extremely helpful in polishing this release. Also, I would like to highlight the contributions of several developers: Tim Donohue for closing many bugs, Graham Triggs for his lighting fast response on browsing and database issues, and Mark Diggory for resolving build problems.

The information they will need for their application is: * Title/Summary: Make this a very terse description of your application, e.g. "Garbage collection tuning for GCC." * Organization: Select the organization to which you'd like to apply from the drop down list( this would be DSpace). If the organization has provided us with an application template, it should propagate into the "Detailed Description" section once you've selected the organization. * Abstract: A shorter summary of your overall application to be linked from the GSoC Program Page. View an example. * Detailed Description: Enter the text of your application here. Text only, 7500 characters maximum. * Link to Further Information: You can only provide a single link in this field. If you wish to provide more than one link, include additional links in the "Detailed Description" section. We can not accept and fund interns directly- they need to go through the Google summer of code registration process. Any questions, let us know- Applications are due by MARCH 31tst. thanks, Michele From ceesura at yahoo.com Thu Mar 27 09:35:47 2008 From: ceesura at yahoo.com (c. surendran) Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 06:35:47 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Dspace-general] Fwd: [nmlis] Experience in a workshop Message-ID: <601376.12679.qm@web53808.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Note: forwarded message attached. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.

Its been determined that many students were away on vacation during the last couple weeks and the topic is getting allot of response on the mentors list. We have less than 1/4 the applicants we had last year (3), If we don't get more proposals, there will not be as good a pool of applications to choose the top few from. So "Get the Word Out" while your at the Conference and let your community know that now is the time for students to sign up! Proposals do not have to be based on the ideas documented on our page/ wiki. If your a university student and you think to have a good idea for a software project that involves DSpace, put in an application and see where it takes you.
