Re: [Dspace-tech] handle in dspace
2009/5/6 Serbe Leon Rojas serbe.ro...@biblioteca.udea.edu.co: What is the advantage of acquiring the unique identficador handle? Is it really necessary for the project? Have a look at the documentation, particularly: dspace-1.5.2/dspace/docs/html/ch03.html#N10AA6 '* You don't have to use CNRI's Handle system. At the moment, you need to change the code a little to use something else (e.g PURLs) but that should change soon. '* You'll notice that while you've been playing around with a test server, DSpace has apparently been creating handles for you looking like hdl:123456789/24 and so forth. These aren't really Handles, since the global Handle system doesn't actually know about them, and lots of other DSpace test installs will have created the same IDs. ' They're only really Handles once you've registered a prefix with CNRI (see below) and have correctly set up the Handle server included in the DSpace distribution. This Handle server communicates with the rest of the global Handle infrastructure so that anyone that understands Handles can find the Handles your DSpace has created.' Also: dspace-1.5.2/dspace/docs/html/ch02.html#N1041B 'Researchers require a stable point of reference for their works. The simple evolution from sharing of citations to emailing of URLs broke when Web users learned that sites can disappear or be reconfigured without notice, and that their bookmark files containing critical links to research results couldn't be trusted long term. To help solve this problem, a core DSpace feature is the creation of persistent identifier for every item, collection and community stored in DSpace. To persist identifier, DSpace requires a storage- and location- independent mechanism for creating and maintaining identifiers. DSpace uses the CNRI Handle System for creating these identifiers. The rest of this section assumes a basic familiarity with the Handle system. 'DSpace uses Handles primarily as a means of assigning globally unique identifiers to objects. Each site running DSpace needs to obtain a Handle 'prefix' from CNRI, so we know that if we create identifiers with that prefix, they won't clash with identifiers created elsewhere.'

[Dspace-tech] Automatic Item lists
Hi all, When a client browses through the DSpace website, through communities and down into a particular collection, they are delivered to a page giving details of that collection. Is it possible to have an automatic listing of items within that collection appear on that page as well, arranged by title for example? Rather than having to click on the browse category title under This Collection ?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Indexing question
Hi Jeff, We want to add date.issued to the drop down menu of the Advanced Keyword searching. It looks easy enough, but I must be missing something.

[Dspace-tech] Add meta data to the dublin core - any possible inconvenience?
Hi! To describe our Capacity building material we need to use some metadata that are not in dublin core (like the web url). I have then to add new metadata, my question is: is it better to add metadata to the dublin core schema or to create a new schema and define the new metadata needed in the new schema? Is there any problem for the on-line user to use ad-hoc created metadata once we will publish our data on line ?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Indexing question
The logging looked fine, except for one null exception (dang those things). I did find a typo in the dspace.cfg file after looking at it really, really, carefully. After fixing that, things indexed perfectly. I think the problem is I'm overly-aggressive in getting things to work fast, and small typos cause me migraines. But, from every mistake I've made, I've learned some drill-down on how the software works.

The retrieval URL is build in org.dspace.app.itemexport emailSuccessMessage see: email.addArgument(ConfigurationManager.getProperty(dspace.url) + /exportdownload/ + fileName); The parts in your example are: dspace.url in dspace.cfg = http://vleinternal.bromley.ac.uk/dspace /exportdownload/ fileName = item_export_2009_May_07_2_4.zip Now for example in jspui the web.xml determines what is done with the URL http://vleinternal.bromley.ac.uk/dspace/exportdownload/* see web.xml: servlet-mapping servlet-nameexportdownload/servlet-name url-pattern/exportdownload/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet servlet-nameexportdownload/servlet-name servlet-classorg.dspace.app.webui.servlet.ItemExportArchiveServlet/servlet-class /servlet In the end the ItemExportArchiveServlet handles the Export. Why do you want to change the URL created, does yours not work? Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen clive gould schrieb: Hi I've got the following parameters in dspace.cfg ### Item export and download settings ### # The directory where the exports will be done and compressed org.dspace.app.itemexport.work.dir = ${dspace.dir}/exports # The directory where the compressed files will reside and be read by the downloader org.dspace.app.itemexport.download.dir = ${dspace.dir}/exports/download When an item is exported the zip file is stored in /home/dspace/exports/download/4 However the download URL in the email received points to the wrong location: i.e. You may download the compressed file using the following link: http://vleinternal.bromley.ac.uk/dspace/exportdownload/item_export_2009_May_07_2_4.zip How do I change the link in the email to point to the correct location?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Indexing question
Hi Jeff, I did find a typo in the dspace.cfg file after looking at it really, really, carefully. After fixing that, things indexed perfectly. I think the problem is I'm overly-aggressive in getting things to work fast, and small typos cause me migraines. But, from every mistake I've made, I've learned some drill-down on how the software works. My apologies for issuing the problem on the listserv when it was really my fault. No problems, we've all been there :) Cheers, Richard Jeffrey Trimble wrote: It was added in the dspace.cfg from the get go. But still no cigars yet. I've removed it from the DSIndex.java. Possible bug? When you run the indexer, what sort of logging do you see? Should be that the indexer logs everything that goes into it, so you should see the values getting indexed. You may need to turn log4j up to DEBUG in order to see this. I'd be surprised if it is a bug, as this bit of the code has been around for some time.

It looks easy enough, but I must be missing something. Here is what I have done so far, but cannot search only using that drop-down: 1. Edited Messages.properties for the appropriate line to be added 2. Edited advanced.jsp 3. Added a line to DSIndexer.java (was there a particular order that this needed to be added ?) 4. Recompiled the whole thing. 5 Reindexed the whole thing You shouldn't need to modify DSIndexer to add this term. The dspace.cfg has search index configuration, where you can add the field to be indexed, and the name of the index. You should only need to add the option in the UI to actually search on it. So look for a configuration like this: search.index.1 = author:dc.contributor.* and add your own with: search.index.[n] = date:dc.date.issued Results: You can drop down the menu choice and bring up date but when you place say, 1970 the search results to 0. HEre is the line from DSIndexer.java, and perhaps that is where the issue therein lies: new IndexConfig(date, dc, date,issued, text) Is there somewhere I need to edit code to make this happen? I don't know the ins and outs of the indexer, but I'd be inclined to try the config route first, as maybe there's more going on than meets the eye with the indexer.

[Dspace-tech] Question about /dspace directory when upgrading from 1.4.2 to 1.5.1
I have DSpace 1.5.1 successfully implemented on our Test machine and I am preparing to move it to Production, where we already have 1.4.2 implemented. My question is: What is the best way to get your /dspace directory correctly upgraded in Production? It seems to me that I've been unclear on this in previous releases and have had problems as a result. My confusion arises from the following factors: 1. The directory/file structure in DSpace 1.5.1 under /dspace is different: a. /jsp directory resides under /dspace in 1.4.2; no /jsp directory in 1.5.1 b. The /bin directory never got overlaid when you recompiled the application in 1.4.2; in 1.5.1, the /bin directory gets rebuilt from /dspace-source/dspace/bin every time you reassemble/recompile the application c. /assetstore resides under /dspace in 1.4.2 and 1.5.1, however I do NOT want to copy over my test (1.5.1) /assetstore over my prod (1.4.2) assetstore b/c I only have a subset of data in Test 2. When I first started our 1.5.1 implementation in Test, I copied everything under /dspace/bin in 1.4.2 to /dspace-source/dspace/bin; however we have added new files and modified some old files in /dspace/bin in 1.4.2 since then - very confusing as to which /dspace/bin files are the correct ones The documentation for upgrading from 1.4.2 to 1.5.1 does not specifically address this issue. I would appreciate any comments and/or recommendations from anyone, especially those who have upgraded from 1.4.2 to 1.5.1 and may have faced some of these exact issues.
