Hello,
For the discussion of workflows in DSpace, I'd like to ask several questions as
I am new to DSpace.
My colleagues and I are investigating DSpace as a solution to a large
repository of digital resources to be made available for translation.
Translated resources will then be re-submitted to the Library with metadata
that indicates the translation relationship. There are future plans for the
repository to be served in multiple user interface languages. We are using
DSpace 1.7 with the XMLUI and a customized theme based on Mirage.
Here are some things we are interested in doing. We think they are
theoretically possible, but would like to find some real-world examples of how
to do them.
* We are interested in changing the workflow to add a few more Initial
Questions. How would one add two or three more Initial Questions to the
submission workflow?
* We would like to derive a new Item from an existing item. Ideally
this would be implemented with a "Submit a New Translation" button on an
existing DSpace Item. In the process, we want to copy some of the source Item's
metadata into the new derived Item (dc.relation information) and display some
of the source Item's metadata adjacent to the metadata entry fields so a
submitter can see the source's title and translate it appropriately into the
language of the new Item. How might this be accomplished?
* We plan to use Choice Control extensively throughout the metadata
entry process. We've managed to setup some sample Choice Controlled fields, but
find that the way to setup these files is cumbersome. Is there a way in the
XMLUI to edit the many Choice Control lists we may have?
We do have more questions, but these may be the most important at the moment.
Sincerely,
Jay Clark
