[Dspace-tech] Little detail in the language selector

2008-12-23 Thread Fran Mosteiro
Hi all!

I´m a novice user of DSpace. I´m just tasting the tool but it seems great !
By now it´s all quite clear for me, buy i have a little uestion about the
language selector tag in the DSpace home page.

In our case, we will need to use DSpace in 3 diffrent languages: Spanish,
English and Bask. I already activated them by rewriting this clue in
dspace.cfg webui.supported.locales = es,eu,en. When i recompile (light
recompile :D) the tool i can see the 3 languages as selectable, written this
way:

 español  vascuence ingles . Here my question; does anyboday now where can
i change this literals from that to:  Castellano Euskera Ingles  ?

I hope so! Thanks in advance for your time and pleased to meet you all!

Hi Fran,

I was also trying to find out what could be the solution but I didn't 
find anything. As a fast solution but quite dirty I would suggest you to 
enter in /home.jsp/, and search the following line


%= supportedLocales[i].getDisplayLanguage(supportedLocales[i])%

you can check whether the result is Vascuence, then show Euskera. That 
is my firts idea, but I guess somewhere is written Vascuence...


saludos
Felipe

Re: [Dspace-tech] Little detail in the language selector

2008-12-23 Thread Claudia Jürgen
Hi Fran,

you might change this in

webbapp/home.jsp

for (int i = supportedLocales.length-1; i = 0; i--)
{
%
a class =langChangeOn
 
onclick=javascript:document.repost.locale.value='%=supportedLocales[i].toString()%';
   document.repost.submit();
  %= 
supportedLocales[i].getDisplayLanguage(supportedLocales[i])%
 /a nbsp;
%

see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html
for the possibilities.
If you want labelling which is not provided by Locale you can add your 
own to the Messages.properties e.g.
jsp.home.language-selection.es = Castellano
and use the fmt tag instead of the getDisplayLanguage method.

Hope that helps

Claudia Jürgen

 Your web site is great. Yes, the subject hierachy you have is the sort of

 classification.


 Yes, because LC subject headings doesn't represent a traditional
 hierarchy, but more of a conceptual network.  That is, there's more
 than one broader term in use for many terms, so there's no
 canonical hierarchy to hang bread crumbs off of (unlike DDC,
 LC call numbers, or UDC).


This is very interesting. I have been talking to one of our business
analysts and she says that modern computer-based subject classifications
need not be hierachy based as DDC is. But the screen mockups of the new
system still show breadcrumbs during subject navigation. She was involved in
the creation of these mockups. I think she knows what she is talking about
so I think this shows that actual implementations of conceptual networks are
very thin on the ground. The mockups are probably showing breadcrumbs
because we are so used to systems like DDC, but she is aware we could, and
probably should, do better.

To see a clearer example of the complexity involved,
 look at Information storage and retrieval systems,
 which I have a subject map for at


 http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/browse?type=lcsubckey=Informationstorage
  and retrieval systems

 Here, notice that there are multiple broader, narrower, and related terms;
 no single thing above it in a breadcrumb hierarchy.  (Instead, you
 can go up whichever route you choose.)


This is fantastic. I want it!


 Is your system based on DSpace? You mentioned having to do some non-trivial
 programming. If your system is DSpace-based will you be able to contribute
 the code back to DSpace?


It's not DSpace based.  It's currently a Perl library drawing on some
 somewhat out of date metadata for the LC subject headings taxonomy local
 to Penn.


Hmm. Whilst your link shows some great categorization, stuff local to Penn
might be a problem when it comes to international systems (I am in the UK).


 I'm considering porting the subject mapping library to Java, though,
 for some other developments, which could in theory make it usable by Dspace
 if interest warrants.  (Or if anyone else wants to work on this, I can
 point folks to downloadable XML versions of the LC subject headings
 conceptual network.)

 John


I hope other people will be interested in this too. I think it would be a
fantastic addition to DSpace. In fact I think it would be good to add even
with the Penn local stuff present. After all, the controlled vocabularies
that come as standard are particular to certain locales, e.g the Swedish
Research Subject Categories. I am not sure it is possible to come up with a
subject categorization that is locale neutral. This reminds me of some work
I did in the financial sector where we had to classify certain equity time
series are belonging to certain industries. I found that the industry
classifications are very locale specific. For example, in Italy there is a
dedicated industry classification for terracotta! So maybe the only thing we
can do is add locale-specific controlled vocabularies then let the
administrator/configurator choose the closest from the ones available.

Re: [Dspace-tech] collection logo with a link

2008-12-23 Thread Martin Musacchio
Hi,
I posted some time ago about a feature that I'm needing. I have to  
make the collection logo to be a thumbnail with a link to a bigger  
version of itself. For this I've been considering several aproaches.  
I'm not sure about hardcoding SQL into de jsp pages, because there  
could be issues with the internal way in with files are stored... So I  
was thinking about duplicating what's done in the file

upload-logo.jsp

I've been studying it and I don't know how it works, because in the  
part where the file is uploaded, in the form, input type=file, the  
action part is blank (actually is ) So, where does the file go?  
How can I do something similar?

Any help with all this will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.


Mensaje escrito por:  Martin Musacchio mmusacc...@unl.edu.ar:

 Hi,
 This is the second time I post about this.
 I need the collection logo to have a link to a big size version of it.
 This means that the big logo has to be an item too (I suppose) so it
 can be stored in the database along with the rest of the items. But I
 have to keep from displaying it when showing the items of the
 collection... Maybe it can be stored in the database manually through
 SQL in a new field created for that purpose. But I wouldn'k know how to
 call it from the jsp... I feel I'm close, but not quite there.
 Has anyone done something similar to this?
 Any ideas?

 Thanks in advance

[Dspace-tech] java.lang.OutOfMemory with large number of communities

2008-12-23 Thread Andrew Marlow
Hello,

I am finding that I get java.lang.OutOfMemory errors when I have a large
number of communities created. I have around 1500. With the exception of one
test community they are all empty at the moment but going to the home page
where the list gets displayed and it frequently invokes the out of memory
error. It is only running on a weedy laptop with around 1GB of memory. What
is the best way to up the limit please? Do I have to use a CATALINA_OPTS
approach? Or is there some DSpace config directive I can use?

Thanks.  I'll note the support when I propose working more on
it next year... :-)

 Hmm. Whilst your link shows some great categorization, stuff local to 
 Penn might be a problem when it comes to international systems (I am in 
 the UK).

Let me clarify: the classification system is *not* local to Penn; it's
the Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH) ontology.  (Which is a bit
US-centric, but not so much that it would seem very odd in the UK,
I'd think.)  The local to Penn bit simply refers to the *data* I
used, which was a copy of the LCSH ontology made and adpated by
Penn some years back, so it's somewhat out of date and doesn't
completely match current LCSH.

The LCSH subject headings structure can be searched from

http://authorities.loc.gov/

and I was going to also direct folks towards a wonderful downloadable
SKOS version at

   http://lcsh.info/

but the LC staffer unfortunately has just had to take
it down a few days ago at his employer's request.
Annoyingly, I had not yet saved a local copy.
(Did anyone else?  Please write if you have; I'd love to get a copy.)
At the moment, the best available free alternative appears to be a copy
of the subject authority records (in MARC XML, not SKOS) scraped off the
authorities site a couple of years ago, which you can find at

   http://www.ibiblio.org/fred2.0/authorities/

Note that the LC might claim copyright in these records outside the US;
I'm not sure about this.  (Inside the US, they can't claim copyright
to their own work, since they're a federal government agency.)

***

By the way, if anyone's still interested in a using Dewey decimal-like
system, but finds the 1876 version cited earlier too creaky,
there's a later revision from 1922 (the 11th edition) now digitized
at Google.  I've recently added a listing for it at

http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book//lookupid?key=olbp44744

(Non-US users might need to use the archive.org link I provide
there instead of the Google link, but it's public domain just about
everywhere, since Dewey died more than 70 years ago and the
1922 copyright has also expired in the US.)

It looks like the 12th edition, from 1927, is also public domain due
to non-renewal, but I don't know of an online copy of that one.
(The 13th edition, from 1932, is posthumous, and its copyright was renewed.)

If you were using it in a repository today, you'd need to update it
to include things that Dewey somehow failed to notice in 1922, like
computers, and you'd probably also want to undo the reformed spellings
that Dewey was keen on at the time.  You may also want to be aware that
some topics in use then have been moved around in the current Dewey
Decimal Classification (DDC, 22nd edition). Subjects like telegraphs and
canal engineering somehow now don't seem to warrant taking up as much
of the numeric space as they used to.

As Ralph LeVan points out, OCLC claims copyright on the text associated
with the numbers.  So you can't just copy the current DDC guide without
getting permission and agreeing to a license.  But I don't know of anything
stopping you from looking through local library stacks to come up with
your *own* description for what the library is now putting where.  (I'm
not a lawyer, but my understanding is that, at least in the US, reverse
engineering for compatibility or interoperability with an existing system
is generally not considered copyright infringement. And if you're planning
on interleaving papers deposited in your IR with other library resources
in a discovery interface, compatibility is a legitimate concern.)

[Note that if you do re-engineer a schema, you shouldn't call it
  Dewey decimal, because it wouldn't be exactly the same as current or
  past DDCs, and because OCLC has the trademark for that term.  But it might
  be close enough for your purposes, if you're keen on the numeric-code
  style of subject browsing, and licensing DDC or UDC won't work for you.]

Well that does shed some light, thanks. However, I find that a user coming
in from an unknown IP address is still allowed to view PDFs. I have
configured IP authentication so only one particular IP address is allowed
yet when I come in from a different one I can still view docs.
