Hi!
If part of the DSpace developers were working on the core technology and
another part would work into building "out of the box" solutions, it
would be so nice!
Proposal for an "out-of-the box" DSpace "profiled application":
I am looking for enthusiasts (a.k. benevolants!) who would like to tool
researchers' teams with the following:
1) Researchers browse the web and encounter documents which may be
useful to keep for further work.
2) The danger is always there that the page disappear or is unreachable
when needed.
3) DSpace could be used as an "Internet Transactional Archive" (ITA):
researchers simply print their pages in PDF and deposit them in a
directory regularly scanned by a local server process.
4) The local server import process opens the PDFs, find partial metadata
like the original URL and upload the PDF in DSpace with the Researcher
as the submitter: the document full text is automatically indexed too.
5) The researcher can complete the metadata if (s)he wishes
6) The PDF is available for reference in any local collaboration system
and the Source URL is available to get any updated version.
7) The Source URLs can be verified automatically from time to time to
check if the content changed (a lot: diff on the text?) or disappeared
(and keep this historical information along the archived PDF)
The main development would be the directory scanning process which
uploads the PDFs when they are saved by individual users (and also
recover all available metadata within the PDF).
Metadata structure would be standardized on something very simple like
standard unqualified DC. This could use the XSLT Ingester (some
extensions to DIM can be useful and are documented)
... and the packaging above an installed "vanilla" DSpace version
(trying to be version independent) ...
One constraint: from the moment the Researcher prints a Web page as PDF
in his/her directory on the local server
to the moment this PDF is accessible in the DSpace Internet
Transactional Archive, there should be 30 seconds or less.
What do you think?
