 I think enabling this in the dspace 1.4.2 config file would prompt

 Subject: [Dspace-tech] dspace and creative commons

 Hello,
 I need help with dspace and  creative commons.  Is it at all possible
 to connect dspace and creative commons licences? Here is some
 background for my problem. The universities of applied sciences in
 Finland have decided together to create a digital repository for
 theses and research publications. The aim is to apply open access
 principles and use open source solutions. The authentication to our
 service, theseus.fi, uses Shibboleth software, the publications will
 be lisenced with Creative Commons and the platform for the service
 will be open source technology based DSpace. The essential goals in
 this project - as in all digital library services - are accessibility,
 user-friendliness, flexibility and transformality. I'm more than
 willing to hear as soon as possible if my problem can be solved.

 Yours,
 Anna-Kaisa Sjölund

[Dspace-tech] Regarding Video Content Support in DSpace

2008-04-02 Thread Nitin Duggal
Hi,

We are evaluating DSpace to be used as the Content Management System at our
Company.

I know that DSpace supports Management of Video contents but we want User to
Search for Video Contents and After succesful search we want the User to
Play the Video.

Is playing Video or Audio Possible with DSpace Currently ??

Apreciate somebody's help in this matter urgently ...which will help in our
Evaluation.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Re: [Dspace-tech] Regarding Video Content Support in DSpace

2008-04-02 Thread Mark H. Wood
Unless these videos are extremely short, that would involve adding a
second content delivery model to DSpace.  Users aren't going to be
satisfied to sit and wait while their browsers download 5GB of video
content before starting to play it.

I've experimented with storing a simple SMIL document as the item's
primary bitstream, and having that point to a streaming server which
supplies the actual video.  The problem I ran into is that SMIL
support in popular browsers was poor to nonexistent at that time.  I
haven't retested for a while, so the situation may have improved.

One strategy you may want to adopt, is to include a reference to a  
steaming sever in your items metadata. Then have your theme display  
that link as the file to download. This way you can separate all re  
technology you need to run a proper streaming sever from your

Re: [Dspace-tech] Regarding Video Content Support in DSpace

2008-04-02 Thread Shane Beers
I've said this before, and I have to say it again due to my  
philosophical outlook on the issue:

Using a repository record to link to an item stored elsewhere is a  
tactic that will continue to cause more difficulties in digital  
preservation. When the record and the item are stored separately,  
there is no actual structural bond keeping them permanently together  
whatsoever, and any number of things can cause the link to fail and  
the record to be useless.

As a secondary resource, an item on a streaming server makes sense. It  
can be used to provide a fast-access copy to users for preview or  
viewing, and the primary bistream can still be the video file. There  
is really no reason to not include it, and simply use a link in  
another metadata field or description to provide a streaming version.

 my dublin_core.xml file is not well configured because the command dsrun
 returns this:

The command is running perfectly fine. You have put it into test mode
with the -t flag -- if you want the items to appear in the repository,
do not use this flag.

  What does mean It appears there is no handle file -- generating one? The
 dublin_core file needs more elements?Which?

It just means that this is a new item that doesn't have a handle, so
DSpace will assign it one. You don't need to do anything differently.

If you were reimporting an item that you had previously exported,
there would be a handle file that DSpace would read so that the item
kept its existing handle.

Re: [Dspace-tech] A doubt with batch importer

2008-04-02 Thread Claudia Juergen
Hola Germán,

this import is a successful import.
The message at the end simply means that a handle as supposed was created.
DSpace uses the handle system as persistent identifier at the moment. For
more details see http://www.handle.net/.
While importing items, which got no handle one is created.

So your test run is ok.

[Dspace-tech] manakin-questions

2008-04-02 Thread Esha Datta

Hi,

I'm very new to manakin. I've managed to change the theme for one  
page and work with xsl and css. The full text search isn't working.  
When the Dspace logs and and dspace code(class DSQuery) are checked,  
they seem to be fine. There seems to be a problem with the query  
string. It breaks when the parse method from lucene is called. How do  
I check what's going on between the form submission and the call  
that's made to the DSpace code? Is there a way to output a trace?



The other question is about aspects. One of the programmers here has  
implemented a servlet that will work with any generic DSpace  
instance. Currently, we have a test instance with manakin, if I  
wanted to add this servlet to Manakin, would this involve working  
with the aspect side of things?


Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about java...so I apologize if these  
questions are totally obvious.

Thanks so much!

Re: [Dspace-tech] Regarding Video Content Support in DSpace

2008-04-02 Thread MacKenzie Smith
Hi Shane,

I share your concern about preservation-ready repositories, but in this 
case I think we
can have our cake and eat it too... and I think this is just a different 
way of saying what
you said.

There's no reason that the repository couldn't store an archival master 
copy of the
video that is restricted to, e.g., the repository administrator, and 
also have a link in
the metadata to a delivery copy, wherever it resides. It would be nice 
if the
delivery copy could be delivered right from DSpace, but for special or 
odd formats
that may never be practical (think of proprietary formats like AutoCAD 
or ESRI).

Lots of digital archives make the distinction between preservation and 
use copies,
and consider the use copies entirely disposable and reference them for 
the users
convenience. Does that make sense to do here?

MacKenzie
 I've said this before, and I have to say it again due to my  
 philosophical outlook on the issue:

 Using a repository record to link to an item stored elsewhere is a  
 tactic that will continue to cause more difficulties in digital

 content before starting to play it.

 I've experimented with storing a simple SMIL document as the item's
 primary bitstream, and having that point to a streaming server which
 supplies the actual video.  The problem I ran into is that SMIL
 support in popular browsers was poor to nonexistent at that time.  I
 haven't retested for a while, so the situation may have improved.

[Dspace-tech] upgrade 1.2.1 - input-forms.xml

2008-04-02 Thread Maike Dulk
hi

I was wondering why I could not find a input-forms.xml in the old  
1.2.1 installation of DSpace .. and noticed this line in the upgrade  
doc, the 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 paragraph:

To finialise the install of the new configurable submission forms you  
need to copy the file [dspace-1.2.2-source]/config/input-forms.xml  
into [dspace]/config.

So how was the input process configured before that?
I can't really figure out if that old installation was customised in  
any way, and if and how I should port that to the input-forms.xml ...

[Dspace-tech] AssetStore not reducing in size even after removing my submissions

2008-04-02 Thread Kumar, Kishore (STSD)

Hi ,

I had couple of my submissions in the dspace system and I removed all of them. 
However I noticed that the  asset store database ( /test/assetstore) is not 
shrinking its  size after  removed all my submissions

I would like to know how to clear the /assetstore database  from the unwanted 
records and reduce its size.

Here is the system specific information

1. Initial size  of asset store

AssetStore : /test/assetstore  size = 3M

2 .Added a  1Mb submission
 size of /test/assetstore went up to 6M

3. Removed the submission fro Dspace GUI

 Size of /test/assetstore is still 6M .

I want to know how to reduce this size from 6M to 3M back

Thanks you




Thanks
kishore

Hi! Kishore,

I am not sure whether there is any lead time involved in the Cleanup
command.

Yesterday I removed the submissions and I tried the cleanup. It didn't
worked right after the deletion of the submissions.
Today when I tried  it worked . The question now is
Is there any time bound required for cleanup to work properly.


As an example,Now I have added the couple of submissions and  Deleted (
Expunged) them . Even after c
leaning up  now the asset store size remain the same.
Wondering whether there is any other way to delete the asset store
contents immediately.

Thanks  kishore
