Ruzbeh, Assuming the table names haven't changed from 1.4.x and there is no bitstream management in 1.5.x, you could probably do something like: update bitstream set deleted=true where name like '%.pdf.jpg'; and then run $DSPACE/bin/cleanup to get rid of the thumb files in the assetstore You

Hi Mark, In a DSpace context I think a major problem is lack of agreement on, or default implementation for a storage model for various classes of content (typically aggregations). If this could be achieved then value-add services could be far more easily connected - dissemination services

Hi Andrew, Your suggested approach using collections for issues and (sub-)community for journals is the approach we took. Unfortunately the hosted journal that intended to go into production didn't eventuate so it isn't implemented in our production repository but there is a screencast

Hi John, This won't help much now, but one of the things I want to look at next year is using DSpace with the PILIN software (http://www.arrow.edu.au/PILIN). PILIN software is essentially a wrapper around the handle server code and can supposedly be run as a local handle server for minting,

Hi Jayan, You'd need to make modifications to handle the ordering somehow through metadata (e.g. ensuring they're in order by adding 01, 02 etc to the titles) or some db table to handle ordering and couple that with a custom jsp tag. It all gets a bit messy though and we've found this is

You need to set your search.analyzer = org.apache.lucene.analysis.cn.ChineseAnalyzer in the dspace.cfg file and run index-all. Note that we use org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer which seems to handle a mix of Chinese and English quite well. Scott. Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2007
