Claudia Jürgen commented on DS-491:
-----------------------------------
At the moment there is no UI tool to map collections to other communities
similar to the item mapping.
You can do it on db level (usual warning, backup db ...) with:
insert into community2collection (id,community_id,collection_id) values
(getnextid('community2collection'),COMMUNITY_ID,COLLECTION_ID);
Replace COMMUNITY_ID with the id of the community you want the collection to be
mapped to.
Replace COLLECTION_ID with the id of the collection you want to be mapped.
Redo your indices.
Hope that helps

> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-491
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sarah Shreeves
>
> I searched to see whether this had been requested before but could not see it.
> As a repo manager of an increasingly complex repository (IDEALS), I am
> getting more and more requests to have a collection appear in more than one
> community. For example, we have a joint grant activity between the Library
> School and the Library which has produced a series of reports. Both units
> would like to have these items included in their community under a collection
> specifically for the grant activity. Right now, the only way to do this is to
> create two separate collections, submit items to one collection, and then map
> them to the other collection (which is a tedious process in and of itself
> especially since the search functionality is so problematic there).
> Another example which I'm faced with right now is a collection that will
> include a series of reports that are jointly published by two departments.
> The administrators would like to see this series appear in the community for
> each department, but they would also like to be able to include the handle
> for the entire series on each report (i.e. the collection handle). Right now,
> they either have to choose a 'canonical' collection between the two or we
> have to create a separate community and collection divorced from the
> department communities.
> I would like to see a way where I could map an entire collection so that the
> collection can appear in multiple communities. I would assume that the items
> in that collection would also be mapped. There would be a single handle for
> that collection (essentially the same way the item mapper works).
> This request has come in to me about five or six times now, and it seems that
> the more interdisciplinary work we get into the repository - particularly if
> we're looking at collections of works, not just items - the more necessary
> this kind of functionality will be. It also seems important for a publication
> series where the collection really groups items that belong together.
> I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have about this!
