COinS in XMLUI has invalid referrer Id and dc metadata; spans are not properly
constructed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-748
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-748
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Components: XMLUI
Affects Versions: 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.0
Reporter: Bill Hays
1. The referrerId is hard-coded as "dryad.org" and there doesn't seem to be a
reasonably simple way to either pull a HTTP request parameter or a DSpace
config property value and use that instead since the xsl transform at that
point cannot reach the dri document.
2. The format identifier "dc" implies strict Dublin Core according to the
OpenURL spec and the COinS online docs. Selectively using qdc seems to go
against that. But trying to crosswalk qdc to dc also seems very difficult in
the Manakin context.
3. What can be easily fixed is the wrapping of the COinS spans around item
titles which clearly goes against basic practice as discussed in the COinS
online docs. The problem here is that mouse rollovers inappropriately display
popups of the context objects. It is also unclear to me whether the placing of
multiiple COinS on result screens is sensible across different consuming
applications for COinS. The spans should have not content except some
whitespace to force the existence of a closing tag.
These first two issues don't appear to be easy to fix and there is no way to
turn off COinS without editing the DIMHandler xsl. So, by default, any given
DSpace instance will be rendering invalid COinSs, though they may work for
certain COinS-consuming applications. If no one can fix these issues in the
near term, I recommend that the COinS implementation be removed from the trunk
and a separate patch be made available with instructions for customizations for
those wanting this feature.
