I have a question about Advanced Search. I need to be able to choose
any community or collection in "search scope" box.
Drop down box lists just top level communities by default.

Thanks

Greetings DSpace community,

Just in case you may have missed it, I wanted to make sure the  
community was aware of two newly published resources for documentation  
and training and some upcoming plans.  The first is a full suite of  
courses put together by RSP in the UK.  This set of materials is  
professional, well done and comprehensive.  You can find it on the  
DSpace website under resources> training materials at  http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=604&Itemid=227 
.   You will find other select materials produced by the community  
here as well that may be of value.

Also the DSpace documentation was updated and republished with the  
release of 1.5.1 ( it has been changed significantly since the 1.5  
publication).  This manual is much richer and accurate in content,  
through the help of many community members.  The Foundation drove the  
process of trying to get the manual as thorough and accurate as  
possible.  Brad McLean, our technical director, will be publishing an  
email later in the week to describe the publication/editing process  
moving forward to keep the content accurate and dynamic.  The latest  
manual can be found under software> documentation at
http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=151&Itemid=116


The training documentation on Fedora and EPrints are professional  
documents that were not put together by the community but were funded  
by Moore Foundation money or JISC money to produce by professionals.   
I wanted to make sure this was clear as it would be unrealistic to  
expect the DSpace Community to have the same quality of documentation  
without the same level of financial investment.  That being said, I  
hope if the Foundation is successful in raising sponsorship funds so  
professional development of materials could be supported over time.   
Until such time, we need to continue to improve upon the process and  
participation of the community and the Foundation can provide support  
and infrastructure to help in this process.

best, Michele

Apologies for the cross-posting.

As Michele Kimpton mentioned last week, the DSpace Global Outreach  
Cmte is looking into organizing a 1/2 day DSpace repository manager  
meeting on Wednesday, November 19th, from 8am until noon -- following  
the SPARC Digital Repositories Mtg in Baltimore, Maryland.

We have put together a very brief survey to assess if there is enough  
interest to make the effort worthwhile as well as give us an  
indication of what specific topics/areas would be of most value to  
participants.

Repository managers, administrators or anyone else who thinks they  
maybe interested in attending the DSpace meeting should feel free to  
complete the survey.

Here is the link:

Thank you in advance for your participation.

To Repository Managers and Administrators of DSpace,

The DSpace Foundation, with the help and support of the DSpace global
outreach committee are looking into organizing a 1/2 day DSpace
Repository Mgr. meeting Wed Nov 19th following the SPARC repository
meeting in Baltimore.  The global outreach committee has come up with
a list of interesting topics for the 1/2 day session.  Valorie, our
community outreach manager will be sending out a short 4 question
survey next week to see if there is enough interest in the community
to put together this 1/2 day session and get your input on what topics
would be of most interest.

If this sounds at all appealing please block space in your calendar.
If we have a minimum of 25 people interested we will definitely run
the session.


If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact myself or Val
in the meantime.

best,

Michele and Val

We translate the files messages.xml (XMLUI) and Messages.properties

with the DSpace community.

I would like to know where we can upload the files with the translation

Destination collections:

But mapfileG is empty and not import nothing to collection "Coleccion 2"

The content of  source = /home/dspace/my_import/item1 is

 - imagen.jpg
 - contents
 - dublin_core.xml
 - handle
 - license.txt

Someone knows which should be the content of the file generated "mapfileG"
or lack any condition in the execution of the script ?.

Thank you.

Hi Dacio,

thanks for the translation and sharing it with the DSpace community.

You can submit it to Sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=319984&group_id=19984&func=browse for
others to review.
There is an 1.5 compliant Brazilian Portuguese translation of the
Messages.properties for the JSPUI
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2140274&group_id=19984&atid=319984
which has been comitted to the codebase,  but none for the xmlui.

The Brazilian/Portuguese community has been quite actively but seperately
working on DSpace translations. Maybe you all could join your forces in
this area.

Sunny Greetings

Hi,

the source option of the import references the directory where the single
directories per item are, thus in you should use
--source=/home/dspace/my_import
instead of
--source=/home/dspace/my_import/item1

hope that helps

I will rephrase the question I posted the other day but did not get any replies.

Advanced Search box in DSpace has a caption: Limit your search to a
community or collection.

For example here:
http://dspace.mit.edu/advanced-search

However, only top level communities are listed in the drop down box.
This is also true for default DSpace installation.

Is it possible to actually have collections in that list?

  I have a draft for a course combining an introduction to Linux and

  I have good linux experience, but no DSpace and Java expertise,
  since I code in Perl mostly. So I am not sure how sound my proposal
  is.

  I will put out all my slides in open access, as I have done with
  previous courses.

  If anybody out there is thinking about similar venture, I would love
  to make this a joint effort.

  Comments are welcome.

Hi Thomas,

there is an uptodate DSpace course along with a live CD developed by the
University of Aberysthwyth for the Repositories Support Project see
http://cadair.aber.ac.uk/dspace/handle/2160/615 .

Maybe this might serve as a basis for your course or you might like to
join the tutorial developing folk in the DSpace Community.

Message-ID: <db031a2e0810021327o2f8df3fg19b86c1eb6fc5f36@mail.gmail.com>

In default DSpace installation (Reference theme):

There is a menu block: Context
Edit this item
Export Item

After I export an item I see additional My Exports menu in the menu
block: My Account
My Exports
Logout
Profile
Submissions

My exports lists all my exported items as zip files

First question:
How to remove items from my exports?

Second question (or rather bug report):
Header of My Account block actually disappears when there are exported
items items and My Exports menu is there.

Message-ID: <175980E7-C1B4-43BB-B45B-1C87663D1709@dspace.org>

Dear members of the community,

This week the DSpace Foundation has launched a sponsor program that  
enables organizations interested in supporting the mission and role of  
the DSpace Foundation to contribute directly to the non-profit  
organization.

Over the next several weeks many of you ( or your Director) will be  
receiving a mailing from the Foundation asking for your support, and  
becoming a sponsor to the Foundation. Over the last year the DSpace  
Foundation has been graciously supported by HP labs and M.I.T. During  
this time we have put together a small team to begin working with the  
community to provide support, infrastructure, coordination, and  
guidance. We have developed partnerships with other organizations that  
bring value to the community.  We have several key initiatives the  
Foundation is actively working on based on your feedback through  
surveys and direct communication which include:

-Leadership and funding to achieve DSpace 2.0
-Broader input into the development process from the community ( we  
are launching a feature tracking tool called JIRA, and have formed a  
global outreach committee within the community to help inform and lead  
this process)
-Improved documentation and training
-Integration and support for add ons to the platforms
-Strategic partnerships with others that can add value and help in any  
of these initiatives

In order for us to continue our work we need to raise additional  
funding. We hope to get support from the community through our new  
sponsorship program. This will be one of several components in  
building a sustainable organization for the future.

The details of the sponsorship program can be found on the website(http://www.dspace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=914&Itemid=276 
). At this date we have mailed a brochure, personal letter and  
sponsorship form to every organization we have contact details for. If  
you did not receive a mailing and would like to receive one, please  
email me your details and I will send one out. We appreciate your  
support.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on the  
sponsorship program.

best,
Michele Kimpton
Executive Director, DSpace Foundation

Sorry for the delay in my response to this one:

When I face a difficulty, I most frequently turn to direct contact  
with a dspace developer I know, or you, Dorothea. My main issues stem  
from a modification not working correctly or something similar, so  
documentation rarely covers my problem.

I'm dreadfully afraid of even making a move to a 1.5.1/Manakin-based  
interface simply because it seems like documentation and guides are  
dreadfully sparse. Additionally, I'm pretty certain the embargo  
modification we added on will not function in 1.5.X, and ultimately  
the obstacles we face here aren't technical in the least - so my work  
is better spent in marketing and promotion.

I also try to use the mailing lists to get help with problems.  
Unfortunately the majority of my questions must be woefully  
unsolvable, because I haven't received help that solved them most of  
the time.

My apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have been
unable to find any place where that has happened.

We are in the process of setting up a DSpace instance here at UNC
Charlotte and have run into a cataloging questions.  Specifically, we
have several articles in which the UNC Charlotte author a) is not at the
top of the list of authors and b) the list includes several authors not
affiliated with our institution.

My question is how other libraries handle this situation.  Do you only
enter the name of the author from your institution into the Author field
and add the other names to another field?  Do you enter them all in as
authors?  If so, do you include notes indicating where the other authors
are located?  How do you handle copyright questions where multiple
authors are involved?

Any help that you could provide would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stephen,

We take a simple approach.  

We add all authors that are listed on the work (as they appear on the
work) and we don't enter them in any particular order.  The assumption
being that 1 or >1 of the authors is from Victoria University of
Wellington and any presentation information and ordering of names and
affiliation is likely to be embedded in the work.  

We were just talking about organisational affiliations this morning and
the Names* project being undertaken by JISC in the UK.  We have avoided
including this information in the metadata schema.  That is not to say
name ordering and organisational affiliation and presentation are not
useful metadata and good ideas - they are - we are just keeping up
metadata levels and complexity of workflow down.

Hope this sheds some useful light.

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 

Please note: Registration will open on the DPC website shortly - for
further information, please visit:

I am using DSpace 1.5.1 and xmlui interface.

I have added LOM and GEM metadata schema to metadata registry and use
few elements from those schemes.

How to present those elements in "simple item record"?

I was able to customize DC elements representation by editing file
DIM-Handler.xsl

However, it looks like LOM elements cannot be added to that file?

Where to start with this problem?

Hi,
   I have a professor who wishes to submit some old papers from American Naturalist to our repository.  They are not digitized at the publisher site for the years in question.  (It is a green publisher who encourages people to use its pdf.)  The papers are digitized at JSTOR.  Can we use those pdf's?

Hello,

I have simple question about Manakin. I need to edit text in
dspace/config/news-xmlui.xml and have some html links along with the
text there. This appears on the home page of DSpace.

When I add links they are striped out, when I use HTML entities for
brackets link shows up literally but not as a hot link.

Thanks,
Serhiy

Dear Klaus,

It is useful that you have tested and found that the U. St Gallen's  
Alexandria Repository's Eprint Request Button produced no eprints for  
six requests.

The best use to which this outcome can be put is to notify the  
Alexandria Repository manager alexandria at unisg.ch that something is  
amiss in their implementation of the Button: Either is is not working  
mechanically (the requests fail to reach the authors, or the authors'  
responses fail to generate an eprint emailing) or that their authors  
have not been informed of its function and purpose).

I also suggest you try some more IRs that implement the Button.  
(Perhaps you wish to post to AmSci and JISC-REPOSITORIES to ask which  
IRs have implemented it.)

The conclusions that this single Alexandria case study will *not*  
support are either that (1) the Button itself does not work,  
simpliciter, or (2) that authors don't want to use it.

I also don't understand the reply that "scholars are more willing to  
send full texts when directly contacted": Is a direct email contact  
not a direct contact?

 From decades of experience with reprint mailing I can say with  
confidence that the Alexandria data do not make sense to me, and are  
likely the result either of an incorrect implementation of the Button  
or a failure to inform authors about its function.

Best wishes,

Stevan Harnad

Based on feedback from the recent survey, we will be holding a DSpace  
repository manager meeting following SPARC -- on Wednesday, November  
19 from 8am until noon. We are currently working on putting together  
the program based on the top vote getters on the survey:

1) Manakin training - what is the potential and how can I use it

2) Community Requirement Discussions - review/discuss the weekly chats  
led by Dorothea Salo

3) Birds of a Feather - specific topics/questions of interest

Please send me any suggestions for specific topics/areas of interest  
for the BoF session -- or if you have knowledge or experience that you  
believe may be helpful to others, please let me know.


Valorie Hollister
Community Outreach Manager
DSpace Foundation




I will contact Art.  I would get the agenda out- but lets make sure we
have Tim and Dorthea to cover topics 1and 2 and I would put a draft
agenda together such as:
8-9:30am  Manakin Training -what is the potential for your repository,
and how you can use it
9:45-10:45  Community requirements discussion
10:45-11:45 BOF sessions(or barcamp session) around predefined topics
of interest to the team- such as copyright, ect...

There is a comprehensive installation and user manual at:

 - http://www.dspace.org/1_5_1Documentation/DSpace-Manual.pdf

Documentation is also included with DSpace when you download it in the
/dspace/docs directory.

You might also find the following training course of use:

 - http://hdl.handle.net/2160/615

If you have any technical questions once you come to install DSpace, then
send them to the dspace-tech email list and we'll do our best to help:

 - https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech

Good luck,


Stuart

Message-ID: <7d8be55c0810150215w795b16f3y7d69db30f837374@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm using LNIclient issued by Larry Stone:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=CMM.0.90.4.1214374446.lcs%40crufthenge.mit.edu

I'm generating a SIP Package with metadata encoded in MODS format.

This is the MODS metadata generated for a simple package:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mods:mods xmlns:mods="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

  <mods:titleInfo>
    <mods:title>Test</mods:title>
  </mods:titleInfo>
</mods:mods>

I complete the ingestion without problems, but some metadata is not
recorded (mods:accessCondition for example, equivalent in Dublin Core
to dc.rights).

I try to modify $DSPACE_HOME/config/crosswalks/mods-submission.xsl,
and i have added a new template to manage this metadatada item with no
success:

       <xsl:template
match="*[local-name()='accessCondition'][@type='useAndReproducation']">
                <xsl:element name="dim:field">
                        <xsl:attribute name="mdschema">dc</xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="element">rights</xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="lang">en_US</xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
                </xsl:element>
        </xsl:template>

I'm sure that i'm missing something .... Please, how can i manage this
MODS metadata attributes?

Thanks a lot

Subject: Satisfaction with free/open source software: survey invitation
----

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information Management at
Victoria
University of Wellington in New Zealand, and my research topic is an
investigation of factors that influence participant satisfaction with
library or information management free/open source software projects.
Some
library-related examples are DSpace, EPrints, Koha, Evergreen,
Greenstone,
and MyLibrary. More general information management software includes web
content management software such as Drupal, wiki software such as
MediaWiki
or PmWiki, or blogging software such as WordPress.

If you use or are involved with a relevant project, I would like to
invite
you to complete an online survey. I am especially interested in hearing
from
people in a range of roles, for example user, developer, release
manager, or
system administrator. I am keen to have responses from people who have
had
either positive or negative experiences with free/open source software,
to
ensure that I get a perspective on factors that diminish satisfaction,
as
well as those that contribute toward it.

The results of this project will help developers of free/open source
application software projects identify opportunities to increase user
satisfaction, and it will also help users identify ways in which they
might
contribute to projects.

I expect the survey to take between 15 and 20 minutes of your time. You
may
receive several copies of this message, since I am sending it to a
number of
project and library technology email discussion lists; however, I ask
that
you only complete the survey once. If you have colleagues who you think
would be interested in completing it, please forward this invitation to
them.

The survey is available at:

http://surveys.sim.vuw.ac.nz/survey.aspx?surveyid=205

It will be available until Friday, 14 November, 2008.

I will post a summary of the results to relevant project and library
technology email discussion lists, once the thesis is finished in
mid-2009.
A copy of the thesis will be deposited in the Victoria University of
Wellington Institutional Repository (http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/).

it's implemented, what settings you can control, how to query it, etc.).
Does anyone know of a good overview? The only things I can find are vague

Original message on DSpace-Tech:

 

Hi,

 

We're having some technical problems with the Workflow Steps in our 1.5.0 installation.

 

After Step 1 and/or Step 2 reject's a submission, the submitter can access his submission to correct his errors. He can clearly see his submission info by clicking the "View" button. Every information he entered previously show's up on the screen.

 

But when he clicks the "Edit" button, the information previously entered has vanish and he must fill-out the form again.

 

Has anybody come across this problem?

	Manager. 12th December 2008 - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Message-ID: <B2BAE505E3934C49AC6B1529DDE993FD0F9D8738@VUIEXCH1.ad.nottingham.ac.uk>

***Apologies for Cross Postings***

 

Please note that the full programme and on-line registration for the
DPC/RSP/DCC/JISC workshop 'Tackling the Preservation Challenge:
Practical Steps for Repository Managers' is now available at:  
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

The OAI-PMH protocol is described at the OAI home site,
  http://www.openarchives.org/

I recommend using the OAI Explorer web app at
  http://www.purl.org/NET/oai_explorer

to explore your local server, give it the "request" URL for your OAI
service, probably something like:
  http://dspace.my-uni.edu/oai/request

The web interface makes it easy to formulate requests and see the results.
You may have to turn off "Schemata validation" at the bottom of the page.

Message-ID: <E9907BF2-3779-4A8D-83D2-52019528AB14@dspace.org>

There have been some lively discussions on the DSpace-architecture  
list this week, notably in this thread on identifiers:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=48F73341.1070006%40caret.cam.ac.uk&forum_name=dspace-architecture

The debate on using simple strings, a DSpace-specific identifier  
technology (like the code presently on the trunk of the dspace SVN),  
or java.net.URI is still active.

Many of the fundamental service interfaces have been roughed out.  You  
can see the progress on the Jira at http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DSB 
, and view the code in the sourceforge repository: http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/dspace2/

The work committed thus far is subject to further design revision, and  
input from the community is welcome.

That creates a user, not a database, but you need to do that also.

If Ident authentication failed, then PostgreSQL asked your host OS
what user sent the message containing the command, and the answer to
that question was not what it expected.  Check the ident map for user
'postgres' running on the host from which you issued the command.
Make certain that the OS user account you are using will be mapped to
the 'postgres' DBMS user account.  Also check to be sure that the host
is running an Ident daemon and that it is configured and operating
correctly.

The "create new roles" question should not be related to the problem
you have reported.  Either policy will do as far as DSpace is
concerned, so I would recommend "no".

Subject: [Dspace-general] Studies of repository statistics' users?
Message-ID: <20081021164748.GB26916@IUPUI.Edu>

I fell to wondering whether anyone has studied how statistics on
document repositories are used.  There are several dimensions to the
question:

o  Type of repo:  institutional, disciplinary, special-purpose

o  Type of user:  organizational administrator, departmental
   	   	  administrator, sysadmin, application manager,
		  programmer, contributor, curator, document user

o  More?

Lots of folks have lots of ideas about what should be stored, counted,
and presented, but do we know what different kinds of stat. users do
with all these data products, what they want but can't get, and what
they think they are learning?

Not to my knowledge. The closest research enterprises I can identify
are the ongoing wrangles about OA citation impact and journal impact
factors. There might be something in the wider Web literature about
server log interpretation, but that sounds a slim reed indeed.

I've taken the liberty of adding this to the Research Questions page
on the OA Directory wiki:

Subject: [Dspace-general] Release 1.0 of production OAI ORE Specification
Message-ID: <A96C8E54-BCAE-44A9-9139-59B6070B3646@DSPACE.ORG>

(The full copy of this Press Release is at http://www.openarchives.org/documents/ore-production-press-release.pdf 
  )

Over the past two years the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), in a  
project called Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE), has gathered  
international experts from the publishing, web, library, repository,  
and eScience communities to develop standards for the identification  
and description of aggregations of Web resources.   These standards  
provide the foundation for applications and services that can  
visualize, preserve, transfer, summarize, and improve access to the  
aggregations that people use in their daily Web interaction: including  
multiple page Web documents, multiple format documents in  
institutional repositories, scholarly data sets, and online photo and  
music collections.   The OAI-ORE standards leverage the core Web  
architecture and concepts emerging from related efforts including the  
semantic web, linked data, and Atom syndication.  As a result, they  
integrate both with the emerging machine-readable web, Web 2.0, and  
the future evolution of networked information.

The production versions of the OAI-ORE specifications and  
implementation documents are now available to the public, with a table  
of contents page at http://www.openarchives.org/ore/toc.  This public  
release is the culmination of several months of testing and review of  
initial alpha and beta releases. The participation and feedback from  
the wider OAI-ORE community, especially the OAI-ORE technical  
committee, was instrumental to the process leading up to this  
production release.

The documents in the release describe a data model to introduce  
aggregations as resources with URIs on the web. They also detail the  
machine-readable descriptions of aggregations expressed in the popular  
Atom syndication format, in RDF/XML, and RDFa.  The documents included  
in the release are:

  ?       ORE User Guide Documents

o   Primer

o   Resource Map Implementation in Atom

o   Resource Map Implementation in RDF/XML

o   Resource Map Implementation in RDFa

o   HTTP Implementation

o   Resource Map Discovery

?       ORE Specification Documents

o   Abstract Data Model

o   Vocabulary

?       Tools and Additional Resources

Message-ID: <579536B1-FA7D-4590-898F-EFD1F325F4C2@dspace.org>

Dear members of the community,

As many of you know the Foundation received funding from JISC, Hewlett  
Packard, and M.I.T to bring together a group of developers to work on  
a re-architecture of DSpace.  The need for this work was informed by a  
DSpace architecture review board that assembled and made  
recommendations. The output and recommendations made can be found  at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ArchReviewReport 
.

A small team has been assembled, working close to full time, on re- 
architecting the core of DSpace based on the recommendations outlined  
in the above report.  The end goal is to have a more flexible, modular  
architecture that can handle a wider diversity of data and associated  
metadata and their relationships.  The team is being led by Brad  
McLean, the Technical Director of the Foundation.  The development  
team working on the core are: Mark Diggory(MIT), Aaron Zeckoski( U of  
Cambridge), Graham Triggs( Biomed Central) and Jim Rutherford (HP  
Labs).  This team began to meet this summer to start initial  
discussions and began work on the project in September.  The first  
meeting of the team was held mid October at MIT, and output from that  
meeting can be found at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_2.0.

At this time we would like anyone in the community interested in  
following the work, participating in the discussion, and possibly  
volunteering to code later in the project please join in at the  
following locations:

-Join the dspace-architecture at lists.sourceforge.net, register at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-architecture

-Follow the work being assigned to developers, their progress and be  
able to comment and vote in jira at:  jira.dspace.org  You will need  
to sign up, by supplying username and password.

- View the code in the sourceforge repository: http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dspace/dspace2/

-Come see us at PASIG(http://www.sun-pasig.org/), Wednesday afternoon  
November 19 in Baltimore, when Brad will give a presentation of the  
2.0 work. (we also hope to video this for broader distribution)

-watch for Brads weekly email on latest 2.0 developments

The team will make a broader call for coding participation after the  
first release candidate of the core DSpace.  We expect this to happen  
in January 09.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact myself(michele at dspace.org 
) or Brad (brad at dspace.org).

That is helpful.  I believe that you entered the command:

  createuser -U postgres -d -A -P dspace

while logged on as some OS user other than "postgres".  That won't
work when using the pg_hba.conf you attached.  See discussion inline.

If you know the password for the database user "postgres" then I would
suggest trying this instead:

  createuser -h localhost -U postgres -d -A -P dspace

This form of the command will use a TCP socket rather than a Unix
socket, and thus matches a different rule which will allow you to
authenticate by password.

> # Database administrative login by UNIX sockets

This line should permit you to use the commandline tools as database
user 'postgres' if you are also logged on as OS user 'postgres'.  If
you are any other OS user then the 'sameuser' map will not match for
this line.

This line appears to grant access to ALL databases by ANY database
user when logged on as the OS user of the same name.  If you have more
than one database on this host then I would think very carefully
before keeping this line as-is.

> # IPv4 local connections:
> host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

Every IPv4 connection from the local host will be tested against this
line using MD5-hashed passwords.  That should include the
JDBC-mediated connections from DSpace.  You can use this line from the
commandline tools by specifiying a correct combination of database
user (-U) and database password, if you specify a TCP connection ("-h
localhost").

Again this one lets every valid database user connect to every database.

> # IPv6 local connections:
> host    all         all         ::1/128               md5

This line is the IPv6 equivalent of the previous one.

> host    dspace      dspace      127.0.0.1       255.255.255.255 md5

I don't believe that this line will ever be used.  The host-based
access configuration is applied as first-match, not closest-match.
The line directly under "# IPv4 local connections:" will match any
connection that this one would, and it comes earlier so it will take
any that would have matched here.

This line could become significant if it were placed before the "all
all" IPv4 line.  You need to place them in order of decreasing
specificity, or the more general lines will overshadow the more
specific.

In the Postgres 8.3 documentation, authentication is discussed in
Chapter 21.

Dear members of the DSpace community,

If you have IT Directors, Library Directors and other leaders in your  
organization wanted to understand the benefits of using open source  
over proprietary solutions, this may be a conference appropriate for  
them.  The conference is being sponsored by service providers who  
exclusively support open source and organizations who build and use  
open source.  Please pass this on to those in your organization that  
may have interest.

best, Michele Kimpton

There are two different authentication domains involved, and it's
important to make clear which we are talking about at any particular
time.

There is probably an OS account named "postgres".  If you don't have
the password to that account, then the root account can set a new one
that you know.  OS account passwords are stored as hashes, and are not
recoverable, but they can be reset.  Once you are able to login to the
OS account "postgres", the "ident" authenticator should accept you as
the database user "postgres" when you are logged in as the OS account
"postgres".

There is probably also a database account named "postgres".  It is the
database superuser account.  If that password is lost, I think you
will have to destroy the database cluster and recreate it from
backups, being careful NOT to restore the "postgres" account as that
would replace the new, known password with the old, unknown one.  If
you have another database account which has the superuser privilege,
then you could use that account to reset the password on "postgres".
Postgres database account passwords may or may not be stored as
hashes, and thus may or may not be recoverable.

Dspace community:

I need some help setting up a collection with limited access to
bitstreams within each item. Each item within a collection would contain
one primary bitstream that is publically accessible and other bitstreams
what would contain the wording "Permission required from XXX Library"
and be restricted. I see how I can limit access to each bitstream
through the Item's Authorizations. However, I would like to make it easy
on the library staff by allowing them to add the researcher to a group
so they will then be able to access all the restricted bitstreams in one
collection. 

Do bitstream restrictions have to be controlled item by item or can they
be controlled on a collection level? If yes, how do I set up the
collection where specific researchers can be given access to restricted
bitstreams within a collection?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Ronee

While i was installing the software..i was asked to execute "mvn package" as
a dspace user..I didn't notice about the user authentication and did it as a
normal unix user..after around 15 minutes of downloading different
packages..when I read the next instruction to run ant fresh_install I
noticed about the dspace user authentication.. i then switched to dspace
user and executed the command..
"ant fresh_install" it said. that the file. build.xml doesn't exist..though
it acutally did existed..
I then tried to again execute "mvn package" as the dspace user..
then it said that

I don't know what to do now..

I changed the owner ship of the installation directory to dspace for both
user as well as group..and then did mvn clean package..but the problem
persists..
After that when i tried to do 'mvn package' again..but it gave the same
