Hi Hendrik, What you are likely seeing is the fact that, in DSpace 7, we don't yet have all the submission/workflow functionality merged/completed (quite yet, though we are getting closer).
As of this moment, the basic REST API features for that "submission wizard" functionality are available on the "master" branch (at https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/). However, the actual User Interface portion is still being worked on within this (large) Pull Request: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/279 This DSpace 7 submission functionality *does* include import of metadata from existing sources. However, the code uses the BTE import framework described here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=68064788 This BTE import framework already does support arXiv and PubMed. To be fair, this is a slight change in direction from what we initially anticipated. In the DSpace 6 documentation, we still have a note that says the BTE framework is "deprecated" in favor of the "2016 Framework for live import from external sources". However, that deprecation may need to be reconsidered *unless* we find a way to quickly update the "2016 Framework" to full compatibility with the BTE framework. So, this is all to say, if you are still interested in enhancing the 2016 framework, I'd encourage you to start by creating a PR (or two) for review/testing. This 2016 framework *still exists* in the DSpace 7 codebase -- most of the DSpace 7 Java backend is still the same as the DSpace 6 backend (except we've updated some dependencies in various areas). So, any code you have that works on DSpace 6 should be relatively easy to port to DSpace 7. If you need more advice, please feel free to ask on this mailing list. We'd definitely appreciate any help on DSpace 7 efforts, as our DSpace 7 team is still rather small overall. With extra help, there's more we can achieve together. - Tim On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 10:39 AM Hendrik Geßner <heng...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear developers, > > we installed DSpace 6.x at our institute and implemented an arXiv provider > for the "2016 Framework for live import from external sources" ( > https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/2016+Framework+for+live+import+from+external+sources) > which we want to give back to the community.
