Tim Donohue commented on DS-1482: --------------------------------- Unless I'm mistaken (or the demo site is misconfigured), the <lastmod> dates in our Sitemaps look to all specify the last date/time that the Sitemap generator ran. I.e. they are all identical. http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/sitemap?map=0 However, I'll still ask Anurag whether Sitemaps are an option here for Google Scholar. I still wonder though whether it still may be useful (to humans & spiders alike) to have a way to browse items by date added (as it's a different way, besides RSS feeds to actually view what content has come into the system -- the current "recently added" list is obviously a limited view). > Add a way for harvesters to find recently added items (request from Google) > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DS-1482 > URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1482 > Project: DSpace > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Tim Donohue > > This request came out of a discussion I had with Anurag Acharya and Darcy > Darpa at Google / Google Scholar. > Anurag mentioned that often the Google harvesters seem to need to do a lot of > "paging / clicking" in order to find new items in a DSpace instance. This > can cause both a performance hit in DSpace (as the crawler keeps requesting > pages), and also can result in delays where items may not appear in Google > for some time (if the crawler gives up or moves on before it ever finds the > item). > Anurag mentioned that it'd be much easier (both on DSpace performance and on > the Google crawlers), if DSpace provided some way to easily locate recently > added items. > This could be something like a "Browse Recently Added Items" (i.e. browse by > dc.date.accessioned), or similar. It was noted that EPrints has such a > feature (called "Latest Additions"). For example, see their demo site: > http://demoprints.eprints.org/cgi/latest > It's also worth noting this could just be as simple as adding a "More...." > Option to our existing "Recently Added" list (of 5 items), so that you can > see other recently added items. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
