[Dspace-tech] Return search query as RSS feed

Hi, Has anyone tried/done the following on DSpace: modify the search code so, that it would return any given search as RSS feed? This shouldn't be too hard to implement, since DSpace already contains the functionality to provide RSS feeds from a set of items. What Im hoping to achieve, is to be ab

[Dspace-tech] ISSN and dublin core

2009-01-22 Thread Andrew Marlow
I have recently found out that a journal article may have two ISSNs. One is the print ISSN and appears (typically) on the front cover of the article. The other is the electronic ISSN. I am not sure where that comes from but it is in some metadata I have seen. The metadata is not dublin core (dc). I

I would like to search my DSpace by ISSN. Is there any chance of this function being added to DSpace? When I add books to my DSpace I expect I will want to search by ISBN as well. At the moment I have to enter the ISSN as a search word. This does work because the ISSN is extracted by the indexing o

[Dspace-tech] How to order the articles within an issue

I am trying to set up a DSpace that models societies, journals, issues and articles. Each article is an item. The collection that contains the items is an issue.

Hi Andrew, In fact ISSN is not part of Dublin Core. Bear in mind that Dublin Core is not restricted to the academic/publishing world. Typically people use dc.identifier for this data and add a qualifier of issn to the end just to identify what is actually in there, but the qualifier is not part

Dspace does expose the items for harvesting using OAI-PMH, which (I think) is just XML. So, if you could send OAI-PMH requests to your Dspace instance you could transform the responses to suit your needs (I think). Cheers, Robin. Robin Taylor Main Library University of Edinburgh Tel. 0131 6515

The quick answer to that is that it depends on both your local organization's goals and resident skills. If you plan to do lots of interface redesign and add custom functionality, then the XMLUI is the right choice. However, it requires more advanced in-house skills (Java, XML, XSLT, CSS), whe
