Re: [Dspace-tech] Desired hierarchical display of communities and collection list
Dear all, I have also been wondering if this could be done in DSpace. While checking out some other repositories, I noticed that it has been done in the Zurich Open Repository and Archive http://www.zora.unizh.ch/zora/community-list which is maintained by Open Repository (a service from Biomed Central). I understand they use Dspace too. I wonder how this was done. Would Manakin help in this? Will they please share this with the Dspace community?

We have several collection that require a certain ordering, and are hoping that a feature like this would be added to DSpace soon. Meanwhile you can go around it by naming your collections like a) Collection 1 b) Collection 2. -Mika - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Dspace-tech] Support for nested metadata authority files
Hi all, at CILEA we are starting to think about a light support for nested metadata in dspace 1.5 (waiting for 2.0) and authority files. About nested metadata we have two different ideas: 1) use the place column in metadatavalue to keep a sync from different metadata i.e. to manage author affiliation we have contributor.author = SurnameX, NameX - place 1 contributor.author = SurnameY, NameY - place 2 contributor.affiliation = AffiliationZ - place 1 contributor.affiliation = AffiliationW - place 2 so using place 1 we can say SurnameX, NameX works for AffiliationZ at the time of item submission... with this approach we can use 1 level of nesting but only if nested values are not repeatable (1 affiliation for author) 2) save in the metadata value a structured xml like: name / surname / affiliation / email / this approach is more flexible because with it we can use more then 1 nested level also with repeatable value... at DSUG Rome I have talked fastly with @mire developer (should be read the list) and I think that they are using this approach, I am right? what kind of problems may arise? do you think that is a sharable solution? The problems that we see are: - browse system: solvable implementing BrowseOrderDelegate - search system: partially solvable implementing a custom Analyzer - display: in jspui we need to rewrite heavy itemtag (with manakin, do you know if we can use directly the nested xml in DIM?) - oai-pmh: solvable implementing new Crosswalk - submission: we don't need to implement anything because data are loaded from an external system (see also the authority file belove) what do you think about? what is in your opinion the simplest solution shareable within the community and to keep forward to new versions? About authority files we think to move in this way: - use an interface IControlledValue with getStoredValue(); getUID(); getNote() - html text for help with ambiguous choices (like namesake so) - all returning String - use an interface IAuthorityFilesService with ListIControlledValue getControlledValuesBy(String query); IControlledValue getControlledValueByUID(String uid); - input-forms should allow to select different authority providers for different metadata - the name of the provider specified in input-form could be used to select the right class implementation of IAuthorityFilesService as NamedPlugin - in the metadata we want save controlled-value id=IDStoredValue/controlled-value Clearly, we have to take care of the same problems of the previous point 2 about nested metadata (browsing, search, display, oai-pmh) Best, Andrea -- Dott.

Re: [Dspace-tech] PostgreSQL refuse access
Got it!!! Not the network, not PostgreSQL, and not really DSpace - of course it was me. To show my colleagues the status of my test installation of DSpace I changed in dspace.cfg all occurrences of 'localhost' to the network name. And this was 1 occurrence too much: After resetting to 'localhost' the line db.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/dspace the connection was back! Thanks to everyone who helped and wondered. :-) Best regards Robert --- Christian Voelker schrieb: Hello, Am 20.11.2007 um 13:23 schrieb Robert Roggenbuck: begin pg_hba.conf# local all postgres ident sameuser # TYPE DATABASEUSERCIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # local is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all ident sameuser # IPv4 local connections: hostall all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 # IPv6 local connections: hostall all ::1/128 md5 # DSpace settings: hostdspace dspace 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5 # hostdspace dspace 131.173.148.100 255.255.255.255 md5 end pg_hba.conf First, I would try a very open setting temporarily and also find out whether the notation of the mask as /32 is accepted. I would use a config with a single line like one of these to start with: hostall all 127.0.0.1255.255.255.0 password or hostall all 127.0.0.10.0.0.0 trust or hostall all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 trust (check the state of your firewall before) I guess the last active line in your pg_hba.conf will never be evaluated because host all all matches all requests for db dspace by user dspace before they come to this line. But that should not stop your config from working. Then, did you update anything that might have placed a different version of the jdbc driver in a generic place where java might pick it up before it looks into your dspace directory? Or anything that might have modified the jdbc driver? Allways the same stupid questions but that is all that comes to my mind.

[Dspace-tech] Reading other files in Manakin (was: Re: Desired hierarchical display of communities and collection list)
(Subject changed to keep from hijacking the earlier thread.) For instance, the hierarchical structure of the collections could be modelled in a simple XML or HTML document, and this hiearchy file could be read by Manakin and used to add contextual information and links to the web pages it generates. What would be the smart way to do this? I'm thinking it might be a solution to the bitstream-format naming problem: make DSpace spit out an XML file with MIME types and the human-friendly representations, then pull that into one's Manakin theme.

The mapping between media-types and friendly names could be introduced into the pipeline using a Manakin Aspect, and then utilised in a View, via XSLT. Alternatively, perhaps this is really just a case of i18n? C -- Conal Tuohy New Zealand Electronic Text Centre www.nzetc.org - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
