[Dspace-tech] the problem of the author which in chinese characters
hi, everyone: I have installed the Dspace 1.4.2 on windows2003, with postgresql-8.2.4-1,apache-ant-1.7.0 and jdk-6u1-windows-i586-p.exe. In order to show as a Chinese interface for my users, I have tried to encode part of the language.prosproties to Chinese edition. Till now, I am testing Dspace in our campus network, but I find it is can work except two problems which need your help: First, when I browse the detail with the authors, if the author is in Chinese characters it could be seen at first in the new interface, but once I press “order by date” or “order by title”, the item of the author will indicate an unreadable code, any documents related this author could not be indexed and be seen.After choosing the item of author comes out this interface. Why? second, the Email system for registration still could not work,, is there any direction about it is installing, I have changed the dspace.cfg according to my school mail system.. Thank you for your help.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Pdf protected
I'm actually uncertain, but I don't believe DSpace's ingesting process has the ability to scan to see if a PDF is protected. I also assume by protected, you mean encrypted with a password, or made unable to be printed, or the contents not cut-and-pasteable. The reason I'm replying to your message is just to express my distaste towards protected PDFs, for a variety of reasons: 1. It's exceptionally poor security for anyone wishing to protect their documents in the first place. The only thing that makes it function at all is if the program used to READ the document chooses to listen to the security measures. Adobe Reader, of course, does, but any number of 3rd-party PDF readers simply ignores what are essentially check-boxes in the file, and allows one to print the document, cut-and-paste from it, and so on. Even if a user chooses not to employ one of these other PDF readers, nothing is stopping them from say, taking a screen capture of the page and printing that, or merely re-typing the copy they wish to cut-and- paste. Additionally, I believe that the mechanism DSpace employs to scan the full-text of a PDF (for indexing purposes) does not pay attention to these security restrictions in the first place, which is a funny sidenote that speaks to the ease of avoiding the security. 2. It essentially stands in contrast to what an Open repository software like DSpace is meant to do in the first place - provide access to research and items of intellectual value. The value of a protected PDF is diminished due to the (albeit flaky) security measures placed upon it. I ran into this issue briefly with our ETD documents. After consulting with our ETD manager, we agreed that PDF security issues were of such detriment both technically and educationally, and they are no longer offered as options. I'm trying hard not to soapbox here, but hey, what are user-group mailing lists for if not, at least partly, for that?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Reading other files in Manakin (was: Re: Desired hierarchical display of communities and collection list)
I agree that adding techMD to the METS is architecturally the right thing, but there is already a better (or at least, adequate..) technical metadata standard format in PREMIS. There is already a PREMIS crosswalk for the import/export METS packager which you can cannibalize, see org.dspace.content.crosswalk.PREMISCrosswalk You could put the format name in the element: objectCharacteristics/format/formatDesignation/formatName The crosswalk puts the MIME type there right now, but it would make more sense to use it for the name. (At the time I wrote the crosswalk, I didn't feel it was correct to dignify the chaos that is MIME types by calling it a registry of format identifiers, although we currently use it as such.) Then you can use PREMIS for other bits of technical metadata of use to Manakin, instead of perverting DIM. DIM was never supposed to escape beyond the internal use in XSLT-driven packager crosswalks! There's more about PREMIS here: http://www.loc.gov/standards/premis/ -- Larry The METS file element lets you have an admid attribute that points to administrative metadata about the file elsewhere in the METS document. For our purposes, we would probably end up creating something like this (assume the new metadata is in a ds schema) for each bitstream (or perhaps for each format in an item? one could point more than one bitstream to the same amdSec): mets:amdSec id=bitstream_1 mets:techMD id=bitstream_1_techmd mets:mdWrap OTHERMDTYPE=DIM MDTYPE=other mets:xmlData dim:dim dspaceType=BITSTREAM dim:field element=formatName mdschema=dsHappyFile version 1.01/dim:field /dim:dim /mets:xmlData /mets:mdWrap /mets:techMD /mets:amdSec The place to pop this in, I *think*, is somewhere in xmlui.objectmanager.ItemAdapter.java. If what I just suggested doesn't seem outrageous, I'll take a whack at coding it up.
