Like you, we are committed to creating both an institutional repository and a digital media center. To accomplish both goals, we've found it necessary to add some small features to DSpace to handle image presentation a bit more gracefully for the end user. Here are a few examples of image collections: Bowling Green State University's Historic Collection of the Great Lakes -- Lightobx pop-up functionality http://drc.library.bgsu.edu/handle/2374.BGSU/3 Wright State University's collection documenting the invention of the airplane -- Lightbox pop-up functionality. http://core.libraries.wright.edu/handle/2374.WSU/827 National Underground Railroad Freedom Center -- Image Pan & Zoom functions. http://drc.ohiolink.edu/handle/2374.OX/19792 I hope this helps, John Davison Ohio Digital Resource Commons Catherine Hodge-Bodart wrote: > Hello all, > I'm new to this list so please forgive me for asking an obvious > question.

We would like to hide all but the article .pdf file and the .html file in the record. Is this possible? The record in question is here: https://digital.lib.washington.edu/researchworks/handle/1773/4603 I have tried setting Poly45.html as the primary bitstream, but that causes the article pdf to disappear; I have also tried setting v16i1r22.pdf as the primary bitstream, but that doesn't actually help because all files are still available.

Well, some of us cherish notorious annoyances, because they remind us of things that are important. But what is more likely to accomplish something than any person asking, is one person doing. All it takes is one person with one well-understood theme or snippet to trade and a few minutes to create a page on the wiki. Don't worry if you aren't sure what the page should look like. Someone will come along and polish it; someone will come along and organize it when it's filled out a bit. The important thing is to capture your knowledge and invite others to build on it. I'd start the page myself if I had anything to put in it.... -- Mark H.

Graham Triggs has already provided a patch that has been applied in the SVN. Due to the short timeframe that we have had to review it, we have decided to delay the 1.5.2release for about a week. The new release should be the 14th April. In addition, we plan to release a 1.5.2 rc as soon as possible to allow anybody to test the latest changes. The RC release could be tonight or as soon as the i18n modules (dspace-api-lang and dspace-xmlui-lang) are harvested by the maven central repository. Andrea -- Dott.

Message-ID: <20090406194205.wuhddxf92cswg08w@www.dspace.org> Apologies for the cross-posting - This msg went out to the DSpace community last Thursday, April 2. Get connected with other DSpace users and get a chance at $100 Amazon gift certificate! One of the biggest challenges with a world-wide community of over 500 DSpace users from diverse organizations is finding the people that would be helpful or interesting for you talk with - either to ask questions, share experiences or partner on projects of mutual interest. With the support and coordination of the DSpace Foundation, the DSpace Global Outreach Committee (DGOC) (http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_Global_Outreach_Cmte) has several projects aimed at helping members of the community find each other more easily. One such project is to create a dynamic database of DSpace users that will help you connect with other people doing things you're interested in. So, for example, if you are looking for someone who is already storing video files in DSpace, you can search the database to find them. To seed the data in the dynamic database, the DGOC developed the DSpace Community Networking Survey. The information gathered from this survey will be made available to registered members of the DSpace user community in a dynamic database. Any information in the database will be available for update as often as is necessary. We know that the information gathered from this survey wil help you connect more easily with the rest of the DSpace community -- but as an added incentive, all respondents who complete the survey by April 16, 2009 will be eligible for a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift certificate. The survey consists of 25 questions and should take less than 15 minutes to complete (READ ONLY preview of survey questions: http://www.dspace.org/images/surveys/read%20only_dspace%20community%20networking%20survey.pdf). We encourage everyone working with DSpace - regardless of their specific role, the size of their institution, or any concerns about multiple responses from the same organization - to complete the survey to the best of their ability. Here is a link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=s99rmO0SQOv_2baVWExjTTIA_3d_3d We welcome input from those who many not have received this message -- so please feel free to forward this message to your colleagues or other DSpace users.

The program provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate, masters, and PhD students as well as postdocs to obtain hands-on experience writing and extending open-source software as part of a distributed collaborative software development team building a Virtual Data Center (VDC) that includes major data and metadata repositories in those fields. The application deadline for students (April 13, 2009) is approaching rapidly. Trainees accepted into the program will receive a stipend ($4,500), and with the exception of attending one meeting near the beginning and one near the end of the 3-month program period may work from their home, or home institution. Travel costs incurred in connection with the meetings will be reimbursed. Each student will have at least one dedicated mentor to show them the ropes and help them complete their project. Initial project ideas are listed on the website. These range from validation of metadata and identifier resolution, to supporting LSID and semantic-web compliant PURLs for digital data objects, to implementing modern web-service APIs, to cataloging the diversity of metadata schemas. The project ideas are flexible and can be adjusted in scope to match the skills of the student. We also welcome novel project ideas that dovetail with student interests. The program is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to a consortium of major repositories for biodiversity, earth and environmental, ecological, and evolutionary science. The consortium includes the LTER Network Office, the U.S. Geological Survey, NASA and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center(NESCent), and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). It aims to develop the cyberinfrastructure and technologies necessary to build a Virtual Data Center (VDC) based on a network of existing and new physical repositories ("nodes") that interoperate using open standards and protocols. The network will enable discovery of as well as open, stable, and secure access to data in any of its member nodes. TO APPLY: Students apply online. Instructions for applying are at the website (see "When you apply"), along with program rules and eligibility requirements. The 15-day application period for students end on Monday, April 13th, 2009.

The software appears to cover all our needs, but I will have to present compelling evidence to my management team. What can you tell me about this product? - How long was your installation? - Were you converting from another system? - How many FTE to install? - Are you satisfied with the software's stability? - Since anyone can recommend changes, have any been a problem for you? - How would you describe the software? I'm looking for a few eloquent phrases to use in my proposal. Thank you for your time and advice, Karen Karen L.

In this demonstration repository @mire showcases all of its latest DSpace add-on module developments. The purpose of @mire labs is to offer repository managers hands-on experience with the @mire's modules for DSpace. Learn more about the Benefits of @mire's add-on modules - *the Metadata Quality Module, the Document Streaming Module, the Image Zoom Module, the Audiovisual Streaming Module, the Reporting Suite and the Information Conversion Framework* . Included in @mire Labs, are the new BETA versions of two existing modules. The *Reporting Suite*'s existing module for repository content analysis has been extended to cope with a broad range of web usage statistics requirements. From item-, community- or collection-pageviews, to bistream download statistics, the new *"Content and Usage analysis" module* goes beyond the current state of art in repository statistics. *The Metadata Quality Module v1.1 BETA* provides an improved approach towards duplicate resolving, aimed at making duplicate resolving consume even less time. Both of these modules are scheduled to exit beta stage at the end of April. All of the end-user functionality can be viewed by anyone. However, the administrator areas of the modules, require you to login. Please contact usto receive a free account on @mire Labs. @MIRE, a leading service provider for the number one open source Institutional Repository platform, DSpace , has developed several add-on modules and on-demand customizations, greatly enhancing the functionality of DSpace. with kindest regards, Bram Luyten Co-Founder and Sales representative Europe Mark Diggory Head of U.S. Operations 533 2nd Street - Encinitas, CA 92024 - USA Technologielaan 9 - 3001 Heverlee - Belgium http://www.atmire.com - Institutional Repository Solutions http://www.togather.eu - Before getting together, get Tog at ther -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Our university is currently exploring using DSpace for ETDS. Any information/responses to the following questions would be helpful! 1. We would be running this in a Windows environment on a Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server-. Have there been advantages or disadvantages (issues) with DSpace and Windows? Any comments on running this in a Windows environment? 2. How does your institution back it up [actual files, configuration files, and metadata]? I'm probably wording it badly, but our IT staff use backup agents such as MS data protection manager for doing most of our backups, but since the DSpace database PostgreSQL is open source, it's our understanding that those types of backup agents will not work.

This workshop will feature three sessions, providing updates on both DSpace 1.5.2 and DSpace 2.0, as well as an interactive panel discussion. The DSpace 1.5.2 presentation will focus on new functionality since 1.5.1, and will provide guidance on the upgrade process. The future of DSpace 1.X releases will be discussed. The DSpace 2.0 presentation will introduce the new services based architecture, and include a walkthrough of the core functionality. The new versions of JSPUI and XMLUI will be introduced. The interactive discussion will feature an open conversation among DSpace users, repository managers, developers, and a panel of DSpace committers. Both practical concerns with current DSpace releases, and ideas for future directions will be considered.

We know that the LNI support the function of ingest an new item in the collcetion/subcollection. So I readed the LNISmokeTest in Java. And got a perspertive about the LNI. In the Web U/I we could ingest an new ingest an item through an workfolw. The LNI supports also the workfolw item. The Question is how can i ingest an item by using an workfolw item or should i use an workflow item for ingesting an new item? how can i simu the process of ingesting an item? Should i get the workfolw item at first and read the workflow to complete the ingest process for an new item? And....to ingest an item, i need to edit the dc for the new item. How can i do for this?? I really need the right workflow/suggestion about the Workflow Item and ingest process by coding such an application. thanks kevin _________________________________________________________________ http://redirect.gimas.net/?n=M0904xMSNMovies Filme.Gratis.F?r alle.

As you'll have seen from recent emails, the DSpace community has now released version 1.5.2 of the DSpace software. It has many new features, some enhancements to current features, and some bug fixes. Many of you will also know that a small team of developers have been working on DSpace version 2.0 which will bring with it many essential architectural enhancements to ensure that DSpace continues to fulfil the needs of the user community over the coming years. DSpace 2.0 is likely to be released early in 2010. ? In the mean time, the DSpace committers have decided to start working on DSpace version 1.6. By moving to 1.6 (rather than 1.5.3) we can add new features that require changes to underlying DSpace database. We can't tell you just yet what new features will be in version 1.6 because we haven't decided! And that is where you come in... ? We'd like you to tell us which three features you would like to see in version 1.6. To help you do this, we have created an online survey at http://dspacesurvey.info/. We know nobody likes to be bombarded with surveys, so we've kept this one really short. In fact, it asks only one question: ? "What should be in DSpace version 1.6?" ? The survey has three boxes to enable you to tell us what your top three new features would be. We can then look at all the survey responses to help decide where we should devote our development effort. We'll put all the commonly requested features into JIRA (http://jira.dspace.org/) to enable further commenting and voting. As always, if you want to develop your own new features, we'd love to work with you to get those features included provided that they are in scope, or if you want to work with us on the new features that the community votes for, please get in touch! The DSpace community relies on developers donating their time and expertise to help improve the software. If you want to join in, get in touch at the dspace-devel email list. ? But for now, what are you waiting for? Fill in the survey... http://dspacesurvey.info/ ?

Were there any costs involved ? - Did your DSpace installation comply with the requirements of the certification right away, or did you have to make modifications//changes ? - If you had to modify your installation for compliance, was this because of your own customizations or decisions you made in your metadata profiles, or because of some DSpace-specific properties ? - Do you have any advice or comments for people who are looking at certification ?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <49EF21A5.2030602@mit.edu> Hi Bram, None of these certification processes designed for software alone (i.e. DSpace) they're for preservation *organizations* and the software they use. At some point I reviewed the TRAC checklist for MIT and DSpace at MIT but the results were specific to us. It was a lot of work to do, since it involved many different people across the organization from the Archives, Collections, Administration, Technology, and other departments. There were no costs involved since we didn't try to get certified, it was just for our own information. And we used that information to refine our digital preservation strategy, but that was our decision. As for your last question, the only organizations that I feel really need the *certification* (i.e. blessing of an external agency) are those that are selling or promising services to others. I've never quite seen the point of private organizations certifiying theirselves... That said, it was a very useful exercise to go through the checklist and since we could control the costs, I'd say it was worthwhile.

As our dependence on the digital ecosystem increases, so does the need for effective and sustainable digital preservation policies, strategies, and practices so that the digital assets of our time will remain viable and useful to future generations. Digital preservation is considered broadly as a continuum of intentions and activities leading to long-lived digital assets that can be used, re-used, and re-imagined in conventional and novel contexts now and into the future. The theme of the iPRES 2009 conference is "Moving into the mainstream, enabling our digital future," which is intended to spark discussion of: * Re-positioning preservation awareness and services further upstream in the digital lifecycle so that "born-archival" replaces "born-digital" as the norm * Re-emphasizing that digital preservation problems and solutions encompass legal, economic, and social as well as technological dimensions * Re-asserting the need for comprehensive integration of preservation analysis and activities into the organizational planning and operations of institutions that produce, manage, or exploit digital resources * Bringing preservation issues to the attention of the broader public in order to change minds, policies, and expectations * Stressing the importance of seeing digital preservation as an outcome resulting in usability iPRES is a series of international conferences that seeks to address issues and further the art and science of digital preservation by bringing together experts and practitioners from across the spectrum of preservation disciplines. We invite you to submit papers and posters that present new research findings or novel applications of digital preservation, particularly those that demonstrate the mainstreaming of digital preservation activities and practices. A selection of the outstanding papers from the iPRES 2009 conference will be submitted for publication to the International Journal of Digital Curation , a leading peer-reviewed journal of digital curation and preservation. Important Dates * June 5, 2009: Submission of paper and poster abstracts * July 1, 2009: Notification of acceptance * September 11, 2009: Submission of camera-ready papers * October 5-6, 2009: iPRES 2009 conference Format and Submission Abstracts are due on June 5, 2009, and should be submitted to perry.willett at ucop.edu in PDF format. Paper abstracts should be between 300 and 1,000 words; poster abstracts should be between 200 and 500 words. All abstracts should include the names, titles, affiliations, and contact information for all authors. Final papers can be up to eight pages in length (including references) in the AAAI style. See http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php for more information. Full papers, and poster and paper abstracts, will be made available to conference attendees in paper and electronic form.

The exported format would be dublin core that can be converted into other formats. We are using Terry Resse's MarcEdit tool to harvest and convert metadata from Dspace into MARC.

Hi Alice, Yes it is possible to extract metadata from Dspace using OAI-PMH interface. The exported format would be dublin core that can be converted into other formats. We are using Terry Resse's MarcEdit tool to harvest and convert metadata from Dspace into MARC.

I'm thinking it should be possible - if someone could point me to steps for how I would do this, I would really appreciate it. It would be particularly helpful if this could be done from the UI, but I suppose I'm dreaming big dreams... Thanks!

We wrote a Perl script to do this one-time conversion from MARC->DSpace DC. I suppose you could write this type of script to take a MARC file containing a batch of records and convert it, or, alternatively, use a Z39.50 query on your catalogue and convert the result set from that query into DC and load it into DSpace. Either of these processes would need to be pretty straight forward if they were to be done on a periodic basis. Ideally the metadata exchange between ILS and DSpace would be service oriented, for example, making the ILS a SWORD server and DSpace a SWORD client. This type of data exchange is also a natural application for OAI-PMH. I think these capabilities are beyond any commercial ILS, however. Mark Mark Jordan Head of Library Systems W.A.C.

As you'll have seen from recent emails, the DSpace community has now released version 1.5.2 of the DSpace software. It has many new features, some enhancements to current features, and some bug fixes. Many of you will also know that a small team of developers have been working on DSpace version 2.0 which will bring with it many essential architectural enhancements to ensure that DSpace continues to fulfil the needs of the user community over the coming years. DSpace 2.0 is likely to be released early in 2010. ? In the mean time, the DSpace committers have decided to start working on DSpace version 1.6. By moving to 1.6 (rather than 1.5.3) we can add new features that require changes to underlying DSpace database. We can't tell you just yet what new features will be in version 1.6 because we haven't decided! And that is where you come in... ? We'd like you to tell us which three features you would like to see in version 1.6. To help you do this, we have created an online survey at http://dspacesurvey.info/. We know nobody likes to be bombarded with surveys, so we've kept this one really short. In fact, it asks only one question: ? "What should be in DSpace version 1.6?" ? The survey has three boxes to enable you to tell us what your top three new features would be. We can then look at all the survey responses to help decide where we should devote our development effort. We'll put all the commonly requested features into JIRA (http://jira.dspace.org/) to enable further commenting and voting. As always, if you want to develop your own new features, we'd love to work with you to get those features included provided that they are in scope, or if you want to work with us on the new features that the community votes for, please get in touch! The DSpace community relies on developers donating their time and expertise to help improve the software. If you want to join in, get in touch at the dspace-devel email list. ? But for now, what are you waiting for? Fill in the survey... http://dspacesurvey.info/ ? (Please complete the survey by the 28th of?April as we'll close it then) _______________________________________________ Dspace-general mailing list Dspace-general at mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/dspace-general From kjell.refsvik at hig.no Tue Apr 28 04:25:10 2009 From: kjell.refsvik at hig.no (Refsvik Kjell Are) Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:25:10 +0200 Subject: [Dspace-general] Photo import/workflow? Message-ID: <1A73EE51-2893-4E80-AB70-4252756169D9@hig.no> Hi, Looking for a platform to be our institutional digital repository, I have chosen to take a closer look at DSpace. While there is little doubdt that DSpace covers our needs in terms of archiving academic written work, I have also been asked to evaluate its ability to be our hosting plattform for our steadily growing collection of digital(ly born) photos and other data-types. After browsing the archives of this mailing lists, and reading the FAQ, my main questions are: 1. Has any of you experience or thoughts about linking practical software like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to a DSpace Collection? 2. Are there any examples of good Workflows out there to solve the needs in terms of vetting/editorial control of images that are delivered to a DSpace collection? 3. Could scripts or software be built around the import command in order to build our own delivery programs/plugins? 4. Has anyone got experience in replacing the use of slideshare.com, flickr.com, youtube.com and other online hosting services with a local DSpace installation? I have people here who wants a low threshold when it comes to publishing material, but I am still not sure if DSpace is the appropriate platform to replace these popular online services.

Are you wanting to put a DOI in the article's item record, in addition to the default DSpace Handle? For example, a DOI assigned by the publisher? In which case the Handle would resolve to DSpace but the DOI would resolve to the publisher's copy. This is very straightforward to do... lots of sites have implemented it (you can, for example, get the DOS via a CrossRef search of the article metadata). Or are you wanting to use DOIs instead of Handles for your DSpace? Which is possible to do, but you'll have to join CrossRef or another DOI registration agency first. There are some institutions doing that (e.g. the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) if you want more information about how to change DSpace to use DOIs by default for article items. And in this scenario, since DOIs are just another flavor of Handles there are no additional technical changes needed.

Message-ID: <26f3058d0904301343u347d5093s893d17d90dc117e1@mail.gmail.com> Folks, Is anyone using a controlled vocabulary for the humanities and/or social sciences (or, likelier, any individual field) with an IR? Do such things exist, besides the Library of Congress subject index? I know some journals will have their own controlled vocabularies for topics/keywords, but I'm interested in this specifically in the context of an IR. If my terminology is wacky, please forgive me and point me in the right direction. Just starting out with this stuff.
