Hi everyone, I was actually only recently asked if there's a place with dumps of repositories for testing purposes by someone else. And I think it's a good idea to have such place. Therefore I'd like to ask all of you, if you have data under a license that allows redistribution (public domain, Creative Commons, GPL, GFDL) or if you're the copyright holder and are willing to release it under such license to let us know. Also demo.dspace.org would benefit if it was filled with this kind of data.
Another thing I wanted to say is that if you need data for testing purposes (i.e. you don't intend to redistribute it, e.g. make it publicly available in your repository), you can use the OAI harvester in DSpace to harvest any public repository with the OAI-PMH interface turned on. Some repositories may even have publicly accessible bitstreams which can be harvested via OAI-ORE, provided it's a DSpace instance using XMLUI with OAI-PMH enabled. So, to sum it up: 1) if you need data for internal testing purposes only, you can harvest most repositories via OAI-PMH 2) for convenience, it would be beneficial to have a place of dumps of repositories which allow redistribution If you have redistributable data and are busy/lazy to send a dump, let me know anyway, I can do the harvesting myself.
