Re: [Dspace-tech] possible to search for records with/without bitstream

2009-11-09 Thread Allen Lam
Hi Alice,

All HKU Hub records have this tag to help us doing type-classification.

http://hub.hku.hk/browse/browse-type.jsp

so that it is possible to classify thesis with abstract only from thesis 
with full-text, etc.

Hi Allen,

That's an interesting solution I hadn't thought of. Thanks!

Hi Platt,

Without rewriting the dspace source, there is a way to make any field
you like become searchable. The solution is to add the information into
a metadata value.

In the IR I am managing I created a metadata tag to describe the item
type, so that we could filter out thesis having full -text or
abstract-only or TOC-only. A little changes to the config file is needed
if you wish your advanced search options to include your custom metadata
tags.

Hi Platt,

Without rewriting the dspace source, there is a way to make any field 
you like become searchable. The solution is to add the information into 
a metadata value.

In the IR I am managing I created a metadata tag to describe the item 
type, so that we could filter out thesis having full -text or 
abstract-only or TOC-only. A little changes to the config file is needed 
if you wish your advanced search options to include your custom metadata 
tags.

Hi,

I don't think this is possible with the current DSpace search/indexing
implementation. That being said, I think adding this feature (though I'd
also add in restricted items and extend the feature also to include browse)
would definitely make DSpace much more useful as a general purpose digital
repository. I wonder if this could be one place where some of the features
in DSpace 2.0 could be backported to?

[Dspace-tech] possible to search for records with/without bitstream?

2009-10-27 Thread Platt, Alice
Hello all,

DSpace 1.5.2:

Does anyone know if it is possible to configure the Advanced Search so that the 
records displayed can be narrowed down by the presence, or lack of, a 
bitstream? We may have several records without bitstreams, and it seems it 
would be very helpful for people to search "full text," if you will.

Thanks,
