[Dspace-tech] DC metadata dilemma

2008-02-06 Thread Mika Stenberg
Articles Im hoping to store in DSpace, may contain multiple authors from different faculties / institutions. We're hoping to maintain the author-faculty connection within the metadata. In other words; one reading the metadata the should be able to tell which author comes from which institution.

We do have more than one handle server running on the same machine. Cant rememebr the details of what we did but looking at the handle-server/config.dct file I can see that we are using different ports for the "server_type" = "server" entry in each installation. Hope that is some help. Cheers, Ro

We faced the same problem (for journal articles with multiple authors with different affiliations), but did not find any good solution to it. One crude solution I was thinking about was to add numbered metadata fields, one for each author, e.g: dc.contributor.author1 = Smith, John dc.contributor.a

[Dspace-tech] DSpace stability with large number of bitstreams

On our production DSpace server we're managing around 12,243 items, but around 430,000 bitstreams. We've seen a lot of issues with the server's stability and are wondering if it's related to this large number of bitstreams being managed. Has anyone else experienced stability problems as the num

Sluggish response and the platform goes down rather frequently. We have a test server and development server running, with the test server configured the same as the production server except for the content load. The test environment works just fine so that's why we're thinking it's the number

[Dspace-tech] Want to restrict robots away from bitstreams

2008-02-06 Thread Satya Ranjan Sahu
1) Searching in Google sometimes show the bitstreams of an item from the repositories. How one can restrict robots from indexing bitstreams? It should only index the metadata. 2) Running [dspace]/bin/install-configs or [dspace]/bin/stat-* as dspace-user shows '[dspace]/log/dspace.log (Permission d

I would add that I've learned *never* to use a form of the name "dspace" for directories, users, databases, .war files, etc. If an instance will present itself as "Foo" then I'd name the [DSpace] directory "foo", the database "foo", and the database user "foo", the webapp.s "foo.war" and "foo-oai.

Geneva, since you don't have a lot of items, this cannot be related to the browse index problems in version 1.4.2 and earlier. It's the first time I'm seeing such an issue (about number of bitstreams) since I'm following the DSpace community so I'm very curious about the reason. Can you te

Extending dc in that way is not a very good idea IMO, and I think the DC community would not find it a acceptable practice to produce such an "ad hoc" re-qualification of author and affiliation. For the time being until relationships can be drawn between metadata fields in dspace. I would re
