[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] Statistics update

[Michael Guthrie]

Hi Mark

One request we get from customers a lot is to have statistics of downloaded bitstreams be more meaningful. We currently provide them with Google analytics which shows what bitsreams have been downloaded, but these are often long urls that are difficut to decipher. What would be really good to see is a list of bitstreams with their dc.title crossreferenced showing what item they downloaded the bitstreams from.

Thanks
Michael

Hi Mark,

one aspect which is very important, depending in which legal area you are, is data privacy protection. So the data gathered should be completely anonymized.

Cheers

Claudia
