[Dspace-tech] DSpace support for citations
hello, This is another question that demonstrates I am still learning DSpace what support is there for citations please? The DSpace manual hardly mentions them at all. There is a brief mention because there is a dublin core field for citation, but no detail is given. The reason I am asking is that I have a need, in the digital library system I am prototyping, to export the citations of an article or book. BibTeX format is preferred but it would be nice to support other formats as well. I also want to make the citations available separate from the article/book itself. This last point is just a matter of convenience. It is handy to be able to go straight to the references without having to view the entire PDF of the article/book and move to the end. I realise that the last point could be addressed by uploading a 'references' PDF as well as the PDF for the entire article/book. That may turn out to be enough, I am still thinking about that. But I don't think that DSpace has enough support yet for exporting citations. Unless maybe it is just not documented? -- Regards, Andrew M. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the web can't happen without you.

[Dspace-tech] Applying nested lists to front page
I'd like to get the nested community/collection list that appears on the Communities and Collections page: Community 1 Collection 1 Collection 2 Collection 3 Community 2 Collection 4 Collection 5 Subcollection 1 To appear on my home page. Out-of-the-box I just get the bare listing of communities. I'm using 1.5 with XMLUI, and I can't quite figure out where in the XSLT that decision is made.

Re: [Dspace-tech] subject hierachy using Dewey Decimal would allow moreuser friendly browsing
I'm from OCLC and I've asked the folks who are supposed to know. There are absolutely no restrictions on using the Dewey numbers. You can assign those numbers to your works and then use them to organize your works. It would be nice if you said something on your site about Dewey being copyrighted. But otherwise, numbers are numbers and you can use them to your heart's content. The problem comes when you try to assign meaning to those numbers; then you're using the work of the Dewey Editors. The text associated with those numbers IS copyright. But, if you can restrict the usage to just browsing up and down the numbers, you're good.

I am not sure if DSpace can do that. What I mean is that assuming I have categorized all my journal articles with multiple db.subject values I want to start at science (let's say) then drill down to chemistry, then crystallography. At the moment all these subjects are peers. How do I arrange them in a hierachy please? I know that Dewey Decimal (DD) is not the be-all-and-end-all but IMO it would be useful for this. Are there any plans for DSpace to provide better support for DD? What I would like is for DSpace to know the DD hierachy. Then when I file an article with a very specific DD number it would generate all the subjects that lead to it. That would be much more user-friendly that having to file multiple dc.subject values. Do people think this would be useful? Maybe it is over the top or impractical. I thought I would raise it here first before putting it in as a feature request. -- Regards, Andrew M. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[Dspace-tech] Manakin and Camtasia
Hi, I am having difficulty getting Camtasia screencasts to play from Manakin (DSpace 1.5.1). It would get stuck at the Loading Controls stage, even though the stage reads to be 100% complete. I have found several similar complaints online, but many of them seemed to be resolved by setting the mime type for the swf files. This solution did not work for me. If I place the Camtasia files in another (non-dspace) webapp under the same Tomcat server they run just fine. I have tried checking the HTTP headers, and changing the DSpace mime types for all the requested files to match those returned by a working copy of the screencast outside of DSpace, but still no go. To further add to the confusion, certain versions of Flash don't have this problem (ex. Version 9R124), so it appears that this might be caused by a bug in Flash, but I would like to identify what exactly is different about opening the files from Manakin that is causing it not to work. Thanks.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Tell Maven to use my custom Item.class
I believe Maven is using the original Item.class file in dspace-api-1.5.1.jar instead of my customized file. How do I instruct Maven to look at my class when compiling? Hi, I'm going to assume you have the entire dspace-api in place beside the release dspace folder. I believe the magic here is going to come from you requiring the api in the pom.xml for each module that needs to use your new code. Something like this: dependency groupIdorg.dspace/groupId artifactIddspace-api/artifactId /dependency For instance, we've applied the Shibboleth patch to our installation of DSpace, which requires some modification of dspace-api. So we've added the above dependency to the pom.xml for the jspui and xmlui modules. -- HARDY POTTINGER pottinge...@umsystem.edu University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~hardy/ No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back. --Turkish proverb -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I already have the structure correct, it displays that way on my communities and collections page. I simply want to apply that display to my home page. - You want to have sub-sommunities within communities. Sub-communities in turn can have sub-sub-communities. You arrange them as parent-child relationships using the CommunityFiliator. The command is: dsrun org.dspace.administer.CommunityFiliator --set --parent=parentID --child=childID This is described in more detail on page 133 of the DSpace manual. -- Regards, Andrew M. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[Dspace-tech] DSIndexer.java / Search problem question
Hi Mark and Graham,
I am having a problem in DSpace 1.4.2 that I hope you can help with
me. The reason I'm emailing you two is because I saw both of your names
in the doc for DSIndexer.java. Here's the situation:
I happened to notice the other day that our online search results
are frequently not correct for metadata searches (not full-text). I
have an idea of what might be happening, but I'm not quite sure how to
fix it.
These are relevant parameters from dspace.cfg:
# Search settings #
# Where to put search index files
search.dir = ${dspace.dir}/search
# Higher values of search.max-clauses will enable prefix searches to
work on
# large repositories
# SMWT - 07/29/2008 - Change begins
# search.max-clauses = 2048
search.max-clauses = 102400
# SMWT - 07/29/2008 - Change ends
# Which Lucene Analyzer implementation to use. If this is omitted or
# commented out, the standard DSpace analyzer (designed for English)
# is used by default.
# search.analyzer = org.dspace.search.DSAnalyzer
# Chinese analyzer
# search.analyzer = org.apache.lucene.analysis.cn.ChineseAnalyzer
# Boolean search operator to use, current supported values are OR and
AND
# If this config item is missing or commented out, OR is used
# AND requires all search terms to be present
# OR requires one or more search terms to be present
search.operator = AND
search.maxfieldlength = -1
search.index.1 = author:dc.contributor.*
search.index.2 = author:dc.creator.*
search.index.3 = title:dc.title.*
search.index.4 = keyword:dc.subject.*
search.index.5 = abstract:dc.description.abstract
search.index.6 = author:dc.description.statementofresponsibility
search.index.7 = series:dc.relation.ispartofseries
search.index.8 = abstract:dc.description.tableofcontents
search.index.9 = mime:dc.format.mimetype
search.index.10 = sponsor:dc.description.sponsorship
search.index.11 = identifier:dc.identifier.*
search.index.12 = language:dc.language.iso
This is our 'index-all' cron:
# Get the DSPACE/bin directory
BINDIR=`dirname $0`
echo Creating browse index
$BINDIR/dsrun org.dspace.browse.InitializeBrowse
echo Creating search index
$BINDIR/dsrun org.dspace.search.DSIndexer -bcfo
Here is an example of what's happening:
A DSpace Item has metadata = dc.identifier.titleControlKey(this is a
non-standard Dublin Core qualifier we added to metadatafieldregistry
upon implementation) - the value of this field is 'a1120334'. When I do
a simple search on a1120334 I get no results returned. Also when I try
the advanced search, using any/all search types, I still get no results
returned. We run index-all every night, with no errors. The
interesting part of this whole issue is that if I edit the Item using
the Admin UI, and simply press the Update button, if I then try the
searches again, both the Simple and Advanced Searches work as expected
and return the correct Item(s).
What this indicates to me is that the Item's metadata - for this Item
(and lots of other items too) - is NOT being written to the Search index
UNTIL the Item is edited and updated online. I've also noticed the
entries in dspace.log after updating the Item online:
2008-12-18 13:40:07,967 INFO org.dspace.search.DSIndexer @ Wrote Item:
2121/26391 to Index
Here are the entries from dspace.log, when I did one of the unsuccessful
searches, prior to updating the Item online:
2008-12-18 13:21:02,440 INFO org.dspace.search.DSQuery @ Final query
string: a1120334
2008-12-18 13:21:02,442 INFO
org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.SimpleSearchServlet @
susan.m.thorn...@nasa.gov:session_id=8CB824C924B1313A744CF7CD7160D20A:ip
_addr=198.119.152.109:search:query=a1120334,results=(0,0,0)
I was thinking that perhaps my 'search.max-clauses' parameter needs to
be increased since we do have a rather large repository (we currently
have 127,641 Items in our repository and are adding more every day) but
I'm not sure this is the problem and I don't know how high this number
can, or needs to, be.
I've also looked carefully at DSIndexer.java and I'm fairly certain I'm
using the correct command line parameters (-bcfo).
Any help you can give me (especially before our Users notice the search
problem!! :-) ) would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sue

Re: [Dspace-tech] Applying nested lists to front page
Hi Thomas, If you’re using the JSPUI, you’ll want to have a look at “community-list.jsp”, and take a look at the methods used to generate/print the list of communities and collections. It’s probably more efficiently done with the XMLUI, I’d think, but I haven’t played with aspects, myself – perhaps http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Create_a_new_aspect_(Manakin) will help.

To appear on my home page. Out-of-the-box I just get the bare listing of communities. I'm using 1.5 with XMLUI, and I can't quite figure out where in the XSLT that decision is made. Thanks. The problem is that it's not made in the XSLT. What you want is to get your home-page XMLUI aspect to fire CommunityBrowser.java in the aspect/artifactbrowser folder, so that everything gets added to the DRI... but I'm baffled by what aspect actually builds the home page.

[Dspace-tech] Welcome to a new DSpace committer
Dear all, It is with great pleasure that the DSpace committer group would like to announce the latest addition to the group: Mark H. Wood. Mark will be known by many for his work with DSpace which started back in 2003, and his presence, knowledge and helpfulness on these email lists. Please join me in welcoming Mark to the committer group! A bit about Mark: Me: I'm 51 years old and have lived all of it in central or southern Indiana, US. I earned a BS in Computer Technology from Purdue University at IUPUI in Indianapolis, but never left -- I work there now. I thought I would study electronic engineering until I bought a book about FORTRAN on a whim. I'm married and have two children aged 18 and 20. I try to keep my superiors from noticing that they're paying me to do something I'd do anyway. I can't bear to part with old machinery as long as it's still capable of useful work. I spent about 15 years in the campus' IT department running mainframes, PC servers, routers, and email systems, then transferred to one of our client divisions, originally to maintain servers and desktops. My job: I work at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, which grew out of the IU and Purdue extension campuses here in the 1960s. Administratively, IUPUI is part of the IU statewide system. I'm attached to University Library, and these days my primary responsibility is our various DSpaces, together with our Open Journal Systems instance and just about anything else in the online document repository line. In addition to IUPUI's IR, online archives, and a specialty repository of foundation literature, we are partnered with the Center for Governmental studies to operate PolicyArchive. I do both software development and system administration, plus a little developer support for other team members.

[Dspace-tech] DSpace, citations, citeseerx
hello, I have been thinking some more about how I might use DSpace for my prototype digital library (DL) and am now considering how citations will be handled. DSpace doesn't seem to have much to say about that at the moment. I notice on the WIKI it says there is a Google Summer of Code project ( http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code_Ideas) to do with citations. It says: Exporting citations is a request of many faculty and a positive selling feature for Librarians/Project Managers to help convince faculty to deposit their work into Dspace. Importing citations will help Dspace administrators get records into Dspace faster and easier. It's all about getting content into local instances of Dspace. It is the import of citations I am interested in. The people that I want to prototype my DL for already have a DL that handles citations. But it handles them based on there being a separate metadata file containing the citation information. These metadata files are prepared by hand. I am interested in what can be automated. This is where citeseerx comes in. Citeseerx is a brand new version of the well-known CiteSeer. Citeseerx has just gone open source. It was released to sourceforge last month, with an Apache License. It may be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/citeseerx/ I wonder if DSpce might be able to make use of this. What do people think? I would also be interested to know how people get on trying to build it. I am having all sorts of compilation problems. I have posted a plea for help on the SF forum page. Maybe other people will have better luck than me. -- Regards, Andrew M. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The future of the web can't happen without you.
