Re: [Dspace-tech] jhove / preingest / techMDExtractor
What'd like to do is just validate that the extension of the bitstreams submitted during an item deposit correspond to the actual format(s) of the files using the output of jhove. Now, I don't know how difficult this will be, and if you are working on it, and it's going to be coming out in 6 months, then perhaps my time would be better spent doing something else. So, what do you think about this. Do you see this sort of functionality realistically being available in the near future ( version 1.5, perhaps? ), or is what I want to do not that difficult, and only a small subset of what you're working on, so why not just do it? The work I'm doing might help somewhat, since it will include more sophisticated and accurate format identification, plus a measurement of confidence in the identification -- but I can't make any promises whether it will get into 1.5. Full details should be available on the wiki within a few weeks, I'll anounce it on the dspace-tech and dspace-devel lists so the community can comment on my proposal. It's a whole framework for integrating external data format registries (like the GDFR), as well as format-identifying applications. It does not include format validators but they do have a place in the overall design. I'm not sure JHOVE version 1 will be much help, either -- I recommend taking a hard look at its limitations before spending any time on it. Its repertoire of formats is somewhat limited, and the output is not trivial to interpret. Also, we found it gave a significant number of false negatives when validating. What's left? Tools like DROID (droid.sourceforge.net), perhaps, although it has some difficulty integrating with DSpace. It just identifies formats, but you could use that as a quasi-validation. Also, the field of data format representation, identification, and validation is in great flux right now, so there will be improvements. Thats's why I'm designing a very flexible framework to let DSpace make use of external resources. We heard the JHOVE 2 project just got funded, so that will be worth watching.

[Dspace-tech] original bundle authorization
Hello all. I just started setting up DSpace at my library a couple of days ago (version 1.4.2 on Windows) and have a question about setting authorizations on the original bundle. We want all thumbnails and metadata viewable by anonymous for a particular photo collection, but we want the actual photo we uploaded, the original bundle, to be viewable only by a collection admin. I see how to do this using the Edit Item Policy page, but I am curious if this can be done for an entire collection without manually editing the policies on every photo we upload. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Dspace-tech] original bundle authorization
In http://localhost:8080/dspace/dspace-admin/authorize - Manage collection policies - edit policies - Change DEFAULT_BITSTREAM_READ to Administrator or collection admin. This will allow metadata to be viewable anonymously giving restricted access to the actual photo. Please let me know if this works fine.
