Subject: [Dspace-general] Missing Passwords

Hello,

The person looking after our DSpace server left our Institute and we are
left with no expert to administer the repository.

The passwords being used by my staff stopped working.  I tried to add
names to the groups but failed to authorize users.

How can I do this? I mean issue passwords to more encoders?

I hope you could help me with step by step instructions as I am not an
IT expert but only an IT user. We have been using DSpace for more than a
year only.

Thanks.

Mila

Hey, sorry people... it was my fault.. i was not actually running the
command "mvn clean package" in the directory..which contained the pom.xml
file..but even after doing that....i got the same error..when i executed the
command "mvn clean package" as a dspace user in the directory containing the
pom.xml file..( [dspace-source]/[dspace]/) which had user "dspace" as an
owner for both user as well as group..
i got the following error..

No, i think i have to execute the command "mvn clean package" in the
[dspace-source]/[dspace] directory..But i am facing a really different
problem now..
someone suggested me to use this link..
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Installing_DSpace_1.5_on_Ubuntu_8.04 to
install dspace on your machine..I did everything step by step..and there is
one line in that page where it says that if you are getting some errors
while building packages because of using gcj instead of sun java..then
remove the ~/.m2 file in the 'dspace' user home directory and then start
afresh..
I did the same.but then i again got the following error..while doing "mvn
clean package".
http://dspace.pastebin.com/m5e0aa875
I have my proxy settings configured for maven..so i don't think that the
problem is due to internet connectivity..I created a setttings.xml file in
the ~/.m2 file in the home directory of user 'dspace' and used the settings
given in the following link..http://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Proxies
So, i think that resolved my connection problem..But i m still getting this
problem..

I know this has been posted before, but we are looking at costs of running
DSpace -- money as well as resources -- and we were wondering if anyone
out there would be willing to share with us their business plans or
budgets.

Thanks in advance,

Dear Mila,

as I get it correctly, you are talking about e-person account passwords,
right ? Or are you talking about Unix passwords in order to manage the
server environment.
What happens if your users try to request a new password with their email
address ?

And your own password and account still works ?

best regards,

Bram Luyten

Subject: [Dspace-general] Streaming Multimedia for Digital Libraries and IRs
	such as DSpace: An Introduction -- NITLE offered session
Message-ID: <08119B28F4B3FF46A5747921C9FAA678D26ECF@AA1EXCH06.office.share.org>


DSpace Community,


NITLE <http://www.nitle.org/www/site/about_nitle> , a not-for-profit
organization, is offering an upcoming session on "Streaming Multimedia
for Digital Libraries and Institutional Repositories such as DSpace: An
Introduction" on


November 7, 2008,

11:00-12:30 p.m. EST.


Who should participate


For system administrators, digital and analog librarians, archivists,
and others from participating institutions
<http://www.nitle.org/www/institutions> , and those interested as part
of the collaboration between NITLE and the DSpace Foundation
<http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=610&Ite
mid=245>  who need a way to manage large multimedia files that 1) keeps
end users happy (no download time) and satisfies demands for easy,
efficient access, 2) lets administrators control what is seen/displayed,
3) lets administrators maintain branding even when links are established
(i.e., lets them protect the source), and 4) is optimized to allow for
broad distribution worldwide. (This event was previously titled the
"DSpace Virtual User Community Meeting.")

Interested participants responding to the DSpace/NITLE collaboration
offer: Please contact Christina Richison
<http://www.nitle.org/www/site/staff/christina_richison>  at
christina.richison at nitle.org to participate. When contacting Christina,
please refer to the NITLE/DSpace Foundation collaboration.


Program Description


As institutional repositories and digital libraries continue to grow,
gain momentum, and acquire content, interest in including audio and
video content in these collections is also growing. Yet managing large
audio and video files can be challenging, particularly for users wishing
to view or access these digital resources. Such files demand more
storage and can introduce long wait periods during which files are
downloaded to users' computers. Streaming servers can help campuses
provide users with much more efficient access to these files, addressing
the challenge of managing and using these resources.

This session will present the benefits of using streaming servers,
examine case studies, and provide an overview of the technologies and
processes involved in handling large multimedia files via streaming
servers. This session will cover topics such as

*	Reasons for streaming multimedia
*	Streaming methods and how they work
*	Requirements to use streaming media
*	Types of content to stream
*	Points to ponder when setting up streaming multimedia
*	Staffing considerations
*	Ways to use streaming media
*	Examples

Participants in this interactive, real-time program will learn about and
discuss these topics as they relate to digital libraries and
institutional repositories such as DSpace. Eric Smith, Assistant
Director of Information Security and Networking at Bucknell University,
will be the featured presenter.

Message-ID: <6ADF2EEE9E327442A6C348B2D6DB672C0CA6155F@exbe1.rgu.ac.uk>

Hello all,

 

Apologies if this question has already been asked/discussed.  When
uploading items with multiple files (theses with pdfs as individual
chapters, for example) we've been surprised to find that there appears
to be no obvious logic to the order in which DSpace displays those
files.  It doesn't quite seem to be sorted by filename, or in the
sequence they're loaded, or anything else obvious.  This becomes
problematic when we want to display the files in a certain order such as
in chapter order (in the thesis example).  Am I just missing something?
We are currently on v1.4, is this situation improved in v1.5?

 

Any advice much appreciated.

 

Best regards,

 

Richard Milne

Message-ID: <4626.130.160.140.176.1225906338.squirrel@69.89.31.178>

Hi folks!

   I've searched the archives and found some discussion on what is an
appropriate estimate for the time for installing and maintaining
DSpace.  I see that it varies heavily by the amount of customization. 
On the FAQ pages I found an estimate for someone experienced with java
and database open source applications, who is only installing a
prototype.  But that doesn't give me an estimate for the average joe
installing a production system.

   We only want to start with one community, one set of materials, similar
to ETDs.  We will indeed have to integrate it with LDAP and set up
secure login pages, and may need to modify the metadata input template.
 I am hoping the programmer we hire will be familiar with Java, but
it's too much to hope that he/she will be experienced with installing
and setting up open-source applications.

  Anyone out there willing to give me estimates  (for set up and regular
maintenance/managment) based on their own experience?

  I would be grateful  -- off list is fine.

  Thank you!

Hi Richard,

if you want the bitstreams to be listed ordered by e.g. filename, you 
can change:

org.dspace.content.Bundle.java (DSpace Version 1.5.1)

replace:
// Get bitstreams
TableRowIterator tri = DatabaseManager.queryTable(
            ourContext, "bitstream",
            "SELECT bitstream.* FROM bitstream, bundle2bitstream WHERE "
            + "bundle2bitstream.bitstream_id=bitstream.bitstream_id AND "
            + "bundle2bitstream.bundle_id= ? ",
            bundleRow.getIntColumn("bundle_id"));


with
// Get bitstreams
TableRowIterator tri = DatabaseManager.queryTable(
            ourContext, "bitstream",
            "SELECT bitstream.* FROM bitstream, bundle2bitstream WHERE "
            + "bundle2bitstream.bitstream_id=bitstream.bitstream_id AND "
            + "bundle2bitstream.bundle_id= ? "
            + "ORDER BY bitstream.name ",
            bundleRow.getIntColumn("bundle_id"));

hope that helps

Message-ID: <3A221C67-64A5-4E5C-907F-F07EB43F7BB7@dspace.org>

Hi Jody,

It is difficult to fully answer your question as the more  
customizations you have will increase install time, and the level of  
experience of the administrator could impact install time.  However,  
in general DSpace is pretty easy to install and maintain.  Below is  
our standard response, I hope others in the community can share more  
personal experiences.

best, Michele
DSpace Foundation

How much time does it take to set up a DSpace installation?

A person familiar with installing Java and database based open source  
applications should be able to complete a prototype DSpace  
installation in a few hours to a day.  After this experience, and an  
additional day to a week of exploring the software, a production  
installation should also take about a day for the basic software in a  
standalone configuration.  If customizations or local integrations are  
required (for example, for user authentication), then additional time  
should be allocated according to the complexity and quantity of the  
changes required.

How much maintenance does a DSpace instance require?

While the DSpace software itself requires very little maintenance, the  
usual IT overhead for data backup, etc. applies.  It is also typical  
for expectations and requirements to evolve once the instance is  
operational.  Initial system usage often exposes areas for  
reorganization, metadata correction, and the inevitable requests to  
remove prematurely or incorrectly deposited items.  An ongoing  
maintenance estimate should incorporate IT time based on the expected  
size of the repository to backup, ongoing local development based on  
the amount of customization, and repository content management based  
on the anticipated rate of deposit.

Hello,

How can I use the bluk upload facility? I've tried to find in the docs
but I couldn't :(

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Luis

Hi Michele!
  Yes, I read your standard response on the FAQ list, and it was not
enough information for us, which is why I asked for information based on
personal experience from the list at large.  As I stated before, we are
NOT planning to set up a prototype, but a production installation, with
LDAP authentication, and the programmer involved will probably NOT have
familiarity with installing Java and database based open source
applications.

   Since I expect this is probably closer to the norm for many smaller
institutions, reason tells me others have been in this position before,
and can likely inform us from their own experience.

Copying dspace-tech because better answers may be available there...

This raises a question or two in my mind. I assume you are planning to
run on DSpace 1.5. Are you thinking of using the XMLUI (Manakin) or
JSPUI? And will you need embargo capability? If you will, you're
looking at a moderately serious hack.

Is XML/XSLT in your job description for your programmer? Modifying
metadata templates requires basic XML expertise. Customizing
XMLUI/Manakin requires significant XSLT knowledge and (in my
now-experienced opinion) a lot of lateral thinking... but from your
requirements list, it doesn't look to me as though you will need to do
a lot of web-design work. My sense is that you'll be happier on JSPUI,
but the gotcha there is that JSPUI may not be long for this world.
Your call!

You'll also want expertise on administering your OS and database
engine of choice, as I'm sure you already realize. Honestly, I would
be tempted to prioritize these skills rather than programming as you
wade through your applicants -- but I believe you when you say that
your applicant pool may not permit that.

Well, I'm afraid my experience is eighteen months out of date and
predates 1.5, but here's what I know that may help you.

I walked into my first IR job with only limited Unix knowledge and no
systems administration experience. The first task I was set by my
(very wise) supervisor was installing DSpace 1.3.x from scratch on the
test server. I got stuck quickly because we were on a nonstandard
platform (OS X Server), but with help, I had DSpace up and running in
two days.

Basic-but-necessary customizations take one to three weeks: doing a
design (assuming CSS only), fixing the labels throughout the
application, changing the license and email text to fit your
institution, and so on.

You would need to add to that the effort of setting up the OS,
servlet, and database software, and the extra effort of getting DSpace
running on Maven instead of ant. My sense, which is based on
observation rather than direct experience so take it for the little
it's worth, is that the Maven install process is trickier and more
fragile than the older process.

I don't know how long LDAP integration takes, never having done it. I
do know that a great many DSpace installations do it, so there should
be a broad base of help available on the lists and in the IRC channel.

Modifying metadata templates, even if you have to add metadata fields
(from e.g. ETD-MS), should take no more than a day or two; possibly
not even that much. It's really not hard.

Maintenance: Once it's going, it pretty much goes. Figure on a
systems-administration crisis every month or so, more often at first,
usually having to do with crawlbots exhausting database connections or
CPU going completely crazy for no obvious reason. I'm sure these
things don't happen with experienced systems administrators, but
that's what it's like if your sysadmin is like me.

Upgrades: Upgrading from 1.4.x to 1.5.1 is a job and a half; I
strongly recommend that you settle on 1.5, in spite of Maven. It seems
likely that the upgrade to 2.0 (whenever that happens; it is at least
18 months to two years away as best I can tell) will be similarly
difficult. Minor upgrades aren't usually too bad; figure a week or two
for re-hacking, re-labeling, testing, and rollout.

Hope this helps!

Dorothea

If your LDAP administrator knows the right settings, it should be a 10
minute job. Ditto setting up SSL security. However if you don't have the
right settings, it could take a day or so of tinkering to work them out,
with help from the lists. But neither are big jobs.

Thanks,


Stuart

Hi Jody,

seeing the use case of yours, a standard DSpace instance, you won't need a
programmer at all. A sysadmin will set up the system in a day, depending
on how much of the prerequisites are on your server already. You might
need a further day to do the branding.

This supposes that you did some planning (mostly non-technical) in
advance, i.e. deciding which features of DSpace you like to enable,
whether you want customized item displays and submission forms on
collection basis, which metadata to browse, which to ingest  and so on.
Some of these like enabling features in the basic dspace configuration
file need interference on system level and thus someone familiar with it.

The administration which can be done on DSpace UI level requires no
special technical knowledge, ie:
- creating/editing collections and communities
- creating/editing items
- user/group/right mangement
- metadata registry
- bitstream format registry
- supervision
...

Hope that helps

Well I don't exactly know the solution but i was advised to use some item
importer and exporter facility given in the docs..
[dspace]/docs/html.legacy/index.html
you can search for it here..
well i read it but i am having problems in understanding its working..so it
would be a lot better if some one could tell us something about its
working...a brief tutorial or something like that...

Hi Shashank,


a brief tutorial can be found here:
http://www.tdl.org/documents/DSpaceBatchImportFormat.pdf
(thanx to Texas Digital Libraries).

The options for running the item importer are:

-a, add items to DSpace
-r, replace items in mapfile
-d, delete items in mapfile
-s, source of the items to be imported
-c, destination collection (handle or collection_id)
-e, eperson (email or id)
-w, items are forced to run throught the workflow of the destination
collection
-t, just test the import, no items really ingested
-p, apply collection template
-R, resume
-h, help

Best try your import with -t (just test) first.

There are other possibilities to ingest data, package import, ingestion
crosswalk, which are documented in the docs and the dspace wiki.

Hope that helps

Claudia J?rgen

Hello Claudia,
                     Thanks for the tutorial..it was very helpful..But i am
having a problem while executing the import script..correct me if i am wrong
somewhere..
I took a directory of 10 songs..well here i was not clear whether i have to
create a separate sub directory for each item..so i decided to continue
without making any..then i created a dublin_core.xml file in the directory
which looked something like this..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dublin_core>
        <dcvalue element="contributor" qualifier="other">some
person</dcvalue>
        <dcvalue element="language" qualifier="iso">Hindi</dcvalue>
        <dcvalue element="type" qualifier="none">Song</dcvalue>
</dublin_core>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then i created a contents file which had list of all the songs in the
directory followed by /tbundle:ORIGINAL at the end of each item..
so i don't think i am having any problem there..
Then i got confused regarding the collection Id....i was having a collection
named "audio" which when opened has the following url..

http://localhost:8180/jspui/handle/123456789/2

so i decided to go with the collection id as 2..

then i executed the following command.

sh /dspace/bin/import -t --add  -e shredder12 at gmail.com -c -2 -s
path_of_the_directory_to_be_ingested -m path_of_the_mapfile

on executing it gave the following message.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Test Run** - not actually importing items.
Destination collections:
Owning  Collection:
Adding items from directory: /home/ftp/Songs/hindi/rock/
Generating mapfile: /dspace/mapfile
***End of Test Run***
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well i think this means that everything is working fine..so i decided to now
actually try adding the folder..so i executed the following command..

sh /dspace/bin/import --add  -e shredder12 at gmail.com -c -2 -s
path_of_the_directory_to_be_ingested -m path_of_the_mapfile

It gave the following message..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destination collections:
Owning  Collection:
Adding items from directory: /home/ftp/Songs/hindi/rock/
Generating mapfile: /dspace/mapfile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after that when i checked the audio collection in which i was trying to add
the songs,  i found no song added...
i even tried the command with collection id 123456789/2 but even it doesn't
seem to work..

Please help me figure out this problem..

Regards,

Shashank Sahni..

Hi Shashank,

To answer your queries -

1. Each item would need a sub-directory & each sub-directory would have the
actual song in addition to dublin_core.xml & contents files.
2. The collection id number is everything after the handle part in url. In
your specific case, collection id will be 123456789/2
<http://localhost:8180/jspui/handle/123456789/2>

Well, don't you think it would be really hectic to create a sub-directory
for each song and then creating 2 files in each sub-folder.
Please correct me if i am wrong..but I think manually uploading would be
faster then uploading the songs..using this method....
Please reply..

Dear Shashank,

I agree with you that depending on how many items you want to upload & how
often you use this feature, this process does look a bit tedious. If you are
using this bulk upload functionality sporadically then the existing process
is fine.

It won't be hard to write a script that will take a single directory with
all the items' files and one single xml file that captures the metadata of
all the items as input and spit out the format that Dspace requires. If
someone already wrote such a script, I hope they will share it with you.

Best,
Harish

Hello people,
                     I am having a really weird doubt about creating
batches...I am talking about a following kind of structure..

archive/
            dir_1/
                    dublin_core.xml
                    contents
                    file1.ext
                    file2.ext
                    temp/
           dir_2/
                    dublin_core.xml
                    contents
                    file3.ext
                    temp1/

Can't i import such a structure..because when i tried to do the same it gave
me the error that "temp is a directory"...
What do i have to do to upload such a structure..???

Regards,
Shashank Sahni

If you want to import the contents of a directory, you'll need to list  
all of those files in your contents file. Just listing the directory  
name is not enough.

Shahank-
I have created some scripts to:

1) break an xml file into several dublin_core.xml files with appropriate
headers
2) create a specified number of sub-directories and copy the
dublin_core.xml files to each corresponding directory
3) copy the associated digital objects to the corresponding directories
4) create a contents text file listing the digital objects

I would put it on the Dspace wiki but it really needs work. The script
is not well documented and customized to my own personal workflow but I
can send it to you for your own modification. One of these days I'll
clean it up.

It is written for the Unix bash shell.

Its really great if you have created some scripts which could do so much
things..I would be glad if you could send the scripts to me...I am a
computer science student..so i can work on it...It would be a great help to
me.
Actually i am creating a digital library for my university so i m in real
need of such scripts..and i think it would be quicker to modify  your
scripts to server the purpose than to write them myself as i m running out
of time now....
I will greatly appreciate your help in this matter..

Regards,
Shashank

Hey people,
                   I was able to resolve the earlier problem of not able to
import a sub-directory..but the kind of import that had taken place was not
satisfactory..
Let me show you in detail what i wanted and what actually happened
My directory structure was something like this.
*DIR/*
         file1.ext
         file2.ext
         file3.ext
         contents -->{
                                 *file1.ext
                                 file2.ext
                                 file3.ext
                                 sub_dir/sub_file1.ext
                                 sub_dir/sub_file2.ext
*                             }
         dublin_core.xml
         *sub_dir/
*                      sub_file1.ext
                      sub_file2.ext
                      contents --->{
                                               *sub_file1.ext
                                               sub_file2.ext
                                          * }
                      dublin_core.xml

Well by the way the directory *DIR/  *is in a directory *Parent_dir/*
when i imported this directory using the following command..

*/dspace/bin/import --add -e shredder12 at gmail.com -s address_of_Parent_dir/
-c collection_id -m mapfile
*
then the output was following..

the files in the collection were..
( i.e. this is the output)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*file1.ext
file2.ext
file3.ext
sub_dir/sub_file1.ext
sub_dir/sub_file2.ext
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
and this is what i wanted..
(i.e. the output i intended..)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*file1.ext
file2.ext
file3.ext
sub_dir/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
and on clicking the link *sub_dir/  *i would get
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*sub_file1.ext
sub_file2.ext
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Is there any way to get such a format..??
Help please....

Hello people,
                       I was thinking of using a code to traverse the whole
directory structure recursively and appropriately create communities,
sub-communities and collections where ever needed..But for it i need to know
a command line method (i.e. a command ) to create , edit and delete
communities, sub-communities and collections..So, are there any command
tools to create them...???
Please help..!!

Shashank,

Quick question. Why do you need to store files in sub-directories before import?
Can you pool all of them in one dir?

Well i can of course but then it won't be well organized. Actually i have
figured a way to solve my problem i will be putting the rest of the files in
a folder say "other" and so i will be having only sub directories..
e.g.
If i have a parent directory by the name "Softwares" then it could be having
several sub directories say antiviruses, media players, and other than such
directories there could be some files..
so i am planning to put all such files in a folder called "misc" and so i
will now be left with a parent directory "softwares" which contains only
directories..i will do this recursively and in this way i will be having
only directories to deal with and the data will be well organized..
Then i will create sub-communities for every sub-directory i have... and
finally for the directories which contain only files i will make collection
in place of them..thus maintaining the hierarchy of the directory
structure...
Check out this problem i have posted..

May be you could help me with this one..

What problem is it that you're trying to solve by doing this? I can't  
help thinking that DSpace might not be the best solution for it.

Well, I have a project to organize the whole data of our university
using a software as dspace..since we were using a manually made
digital library to collect the data that our
university had so my plan is to use the hierarchical structure of the
data that i need to implement..I would be replacing the
sub-directories with sub-communities and finally

would be having collections at the end ..

Shashank

Hello people,
                      I was wondering if there was a way to automatically
update a collection. I mean if we have added 10 files in a collection from a
folder then if we add something to that folder later on is there a way to
show that file updated in our collection..

Message-ID: <5CB5163E-6471-479F-AC1E-106AED0A2C07@dspace.org>

Dear community members,

About a month ago, Savas a researcher at Microsoft developed an open  
source plugin for Word, using SWORD. Ideally, the plug in will allow  
authors using WORD to deposit their materials directly into a  
repository.  As this is the first release of this plugin we need folks  
from the community to test it, check interoperability and give  
feedback.  Savas warned this is still experimental and needs testing.  
You can find the plug in at:

  http://www.codeplex.com/OfficeSWORD/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=18157


If you test it, please post to the list your findings.

Greetings,

I'm having a problem when trying to install DSpace 1.5. Below is the error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser

Prior to this problem I was getting a similar NoClassDefFoundError for the CreateAdministrator class (when I typed create-administrator command). I got around this by exporting the WEB-INF/lib/*.jar folders to the system PATH, but this CommandLineParser is nowhere to be found.

Can anyone help?

P.S.
I'm using CentOS 4, Java1.5, Maven 2.0.9, PostgreSQL 8.1.11

Hello,

   --page.pdf
   --contents
   --dublin_core.xml

   --contents
   --dublin_core.xml

...
Each of the files gets an automatic id
http://server/handle/123456789/943
http://server/handle/123456789/944
http://server/handle/123456789/945

How can I make this number start at a given number and auto increment
from there?

Thanks in advanced.

Ya, this have been kinda problem for me too..after we delete certain batch
or collection that particular id is never used again.. I don't know why does
this happens .. if some collection is deleted then why is that collection id
still not reusable..??

Hi luis,
              Well, I am not really sure. But I think there is something
which  you might be interested in reading, the community and collection
structure importer given here..

dspace-1.5.1-release/dspace/docs/html.legacy/application.html

there as you can see there is one import xml file and one output xml file.
After this command line tool is used the structure-builder reads the import
xml file and it outputs the same structure to the output xml file providing
each structure with a handler.
            As you can see, this shows that these handlers are provided
arbitrarily. So, it could be possible that either there is no way to force
it or we might be allowed to modify the import file to provide handlers as
well and if they are not being  used, they could be used as the handlers for
the structures otherwise the structure-builder will jst return an error
saying that they are already being used.
            I am not really sure about this, it is jst a possibility. If you
find anything useful please let me know.

Regards,
Shashank Sahni

Hi Luis,

a brief tutorial can be found here:
http://www.tdl.org/documents/DSpaceBatchImportFormat.pdf
(thanx to Texas Digital Libraries).

The options for running the item importer are:

-a, add items to DSpace
-r, replace items in mapfile
-d, delete items in mapfile
-s, source of the items to be imported
-c, destination collection (handle or collection_id)
-e, eperson (email or id)
-w, items are forced to run throught the workflow of the destination
collection
-t, just test the import, no items really ingested
-p, apply collection template
-R, resume
-h, help

Best try your import with -t (just test) first.

There are other possibilities to ingest data, package import, ingestion
crosswalk, which are documented in the docs and the dspace wiki.

Hope that helps

Message-ID: <826FA59EEA0A914FA34AECF56FD831A883FD86@VUIEXCHA.ad.nottingham.ac.uk>

***Apologies for Cross Postings***

 

Last chance to register for the DPC/RSP/DCC/JISC workshop 'Tackling the
Preservation Challenge: Practical Steps for Repository Managers'.

Book now to avoid disappointment:

http://www.dpconline.org/graphics/events/081212RepMngrsWkshp.html

Registration will close on Friday 28th November 2008.

 

Event: DPC/RSP/DCC/JISC Workshop. Tackling the Preservation Challenge:
Practical Steps for Repository Managers

Date: 12th December 2008

Venue: Novotel Hotel, Euston Road, London

 

We all know that preservation of repository content is vital -- but we
also know that in practical terms it remains largely unresolved.  What
should we be doing right now to embed preservation into the working
practice of repositories?  Who should we be talking to? 

 

Are there tools and services out there which can support repository
managers in their work today?  Are preservation experts and services
tuned into the practical workflow requirements of their repository
manager colleagues?  If this has any resonance then this event is for
you! 

 

The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC), the Repositories Support
Project (RSP), the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) and the JISC are
organising a joint workshop on the 12th December at the Novotel Hotel,
Euston, London. The intention is to bring together key stakeholders, the
repository managers and preservation experts, at a practical focussed
event to talk together and share perspectives, requirements, problems
and solutions.  It is hoped that the workshop will lead to collective
recommendations for what the next moves for repository managers and
preservation specialists should be to provide practical focussed
support, services and tools. The workshop should in addition further
repository managers' understanding of how to implement preservation
strategies and processes.


As well as the formal presentations there will also be a marketplace
when there will be an opportunity to view posters, and engage with
project teams and see demonstrations of the latest tools. The day will
close with a participative discussion session. 

 

Prior to the event the organisers shall gather concerns and requirements
from repository managers and preservation experts/services and
synthesise these into 'Top 5 Concerns', 'Top 5 Wishes' and 'Top 5
Solutions' (for practical implementation). These will then be collated
to form the basis for the panel discussion.

Who should attend?

Repository managers, librarians, archivists, digital preservation
experts, information management specialists, service providers.
 

Benefits of attendance

 

*	An opportunity to share your preservations issues, (concerns,
wishes, solutions) with peers and experts. 
*	To gain insight from repository managers on how they are
approaching preservation on different platforms. 
*	To get up to speed with the outcomes from the extant services
and projects working in this important area. 
*	To gain some tips from fellow practitioners on what works for
them. 
*	To share your digital preservation expertise with the repository
community

For ten single-bitstream items as a one-time task, yes, I would say
that submitting each separate item interactively is probably easier
than hand-building a batch.  Using the batch importer in this case
would be better only as an exercise in learning to use the batch
importer.

If you expect to receive more batches of items, especially larger
batches, and the metadata will be already machine-readable and merely
need some mechanical recoding to be intelligible to the batch
importer, then it would be worth the time to learn on a small batch
now.

The reason for the directory structure is that you might have items
containing multiple bitstreams, and breaking the batch down into
subdirectories containing fixed-named driver files is a good way to
distinguish items without too much code complexity.  It's easy to
write up a little script which builds the batch structure from whatever
you are given, so long as you know how to decide which bits go where.

You can't.  There is a single Handle namespace used for all
communities, collections, and items.  Handles (123456789/943 and the
like) are meant to be completely abstract; any attempt to assign them
meaning within a subset of the repository's contents is bound to end
in frustration.  Each new community, collection, or item is assigned
the next serial number within the single handle namespace.

Facilities such as DSpace are more like a deck of needelsort cards
than they are like a filesystem.  You search by some combination of
characteristics of the content, not by name.

Why do you want to specify the handle values?  What would that allow
you to do?  There might be another (perhaps better!) way of doing it,
or DSpace might not be the right tool for this particular job.

Hi all,

i would like to share a problem concerning the variable
'xmlui.user.loginredirect' 
in the dspace.cfg (v 1.5.1):
If i want the user -after he/she is logged in- to be redirected at
the 'community-list' page, then shouldn't i write 
xmlui.user.loginredirect = /community-list   ?

Thanks in advance, 
Anna

Anna,
Setting xmlui.user.loginredirect
to
/community-list
will do what you want (for xmlui)

The idea (I think) is not to point at the homepage (it may confuse the user
that he is not logged in)

ELPUB 2009 - First Call for Papers
Rethinking Electronic Publishing : Innovation in Communication Paradigms
and Technologies
13th International Conference on Electronic Publishing

10 - 12 June 2009, Milan, Italy
http://www.elpub.net

Electronic publishing via the Internet is continuously changing its shapes
and models, challenging traditional players to adapt to new contexts.
Innovative technologies enable individuals, scholars, communities and
networks to establish contacts, exchange data, produce information, share
knowledge. Open access sources and commercial players make contents
available for a heterogeneous audience in diversity of environments, from
business to private life, from educational and cultural activities to
leisure time, and in a large variety of devices, from personal computers to
mobile media.

New opportunities and new needs challenge us to rethink electronic
publishing, to innovate communication paradigms and technologies, to make
information not just a flat equivalent of a paper but a truly digital
format, to allow machine processing and new services, to face the future of
mobile life. The ELPUB 2009 conference will focus on key issues in
e-communications, exploring dissemination channels, business models,
technologies, methods and concepts. 

We welcome a wide variety of papers from members of the communities whose
research and experiments are transforming the nature of electronic
publishing and scholarly communications. Topics include but are not
restricted to:

- New publishing models, tools, services and roles
- New scholarly constructs and discourse methods
- Innovative business models for scholarly publishing
- Mobile distribution of e-contents, e-books
- M2M publishing services
- Multilingual and multimodal interfaces
- Services and technology for specific user communities, media, and content
- Content search, analysis and retrieval
- Interoperability, scalability and middleware infrastructure to facilitate
awareness and discovery
- Personalization technologies (e.g. social tagging, folksonomies, RSS)
- Semantic web, metadata, information granularity, digital objects
- Data mining, text harvesting, dynamic formatting
- Knowledge linking, discovery, presentation
- User generated contents
- Usage and citation impact
- Security, privacy and copyright issues
- Digital preservation, content authentication
- Recommendations, guidelines, interoperability standards

Author Guidelines
Contributions are invited for the following categories:
- Single paper (abstract minimum of 1,000 and maxximum of 1,500 words)

ABOUT ELPUB
The ELPUB 2009 conference will keep the tradition of the previous
international conferences on electronic publishing, held in the United
Kingdom (in 1997 and 2001), Hungary (1998), Sweden (1999), Russia (2000),
the Czech Republic (2002), Portugal (2003), Brazil (2004), Belgium (2005),
Bulgaria (2006), Austria (2007) and Canada (2008), which is to bring
together researchers, lecturers, librarians, developers, business
executives, entrepreneurs, managers, users and all those interested in
issues regarding electronic publishing in a wide variety of contexts. These
include the human, cultural, economic, social, technological, legal,
commercial, and other relevant aspects that such an exciting theme
encompasses.

Three distinguishing features of this conference are: broad scope of topics
which creates a unique atmosphere of active exchange and learning about
various aspects of scholarly communications and electronic publishing;
combination of general and technical issues; and a condensed procedure of
submission, revision and publication of proceedings which guarantees
presentations of most recent work. ELPUB 2009 will offer a variety of
activities, such as workshops, tutorials, panel debates, poster
presentations and demonstrations. Social events and sight-seeing tours will
also be available to participants (at additional costs). Please see the
conference web site for details.

Conference Location: Milan, Italy. Milan is the largest metropolitan area
in Italy, one of the largest in Europe: 7,4 million population. It is the
Italian capital of industry and business and well renowned as one of the
world capitals of fashion and design. Milan is one of the oldest artistic
centres in Northern Italy and its surroundings include the beautiful Alps
and the famous Garda, Maggiore and Como lakes. All this makes Milan a
perfect place for sight-seeing, cultural visits and exciting shopping, not
to mention enjoying Italian food and wines.

Conference Host: The State University of Milan is the third largest
