Re: [Dspace-tech] Controlling Metadata Inputs

2012-08-23 Thread Darren Arsenault
I am hoping that someone might be able to help me with this problem.

For input fields where it is not possible (or practical) to implement 
controlled vocabularies or drop down lists, is there a less labour-intensive 
way of preventing data entry errors? For example: The author of several 
documents is ABC Statistics Inc., but each document is added by a different 
ePerson,and each of these people makes a spelling error when filling out the 
AUTHOR field, so these items appear to have different authors. (ABC 
Statisitcs, Inc., ABC Statistics, Inc, ABC Statistics, etc.).

Originally I thought that this would be a minor issue, easily correctable 
through raw SQL queries to update the offending fields. Unfortunately, my 
estimates as to the number of mistakes that would be made has proven to be 
extremely conservative. I do not want to be responsible for correcting so many 
entries myself, nor do I want to reject so many entries asking users to match 
the existing AUTHOR name that already exists.

I know that I could code a solution if that is absolutely necessary, but I 
wonder if someone else in the community hasn't already addressed this issue.

[Dspace-tech] Moving collections to a new sub-community

2012-08-23 Thread Harish Maringanti
We are redoing the community/collection hierarchy and am trying to get
some grip on the best way to proceed. As I understand, sub-community
management can be done via dspace's administrative tool
(CommunityFiliator) and that would be very helpful in what I'm trying
to do. However, there is a requirement to move existing collections to
a new community/sub-community and based on what I read so far (1,2),
this would involve manipulating database directly. I need some
clarification on the process:

1. To change the collection-community relationship, I can use the query
codeupdate community2collection set community_id=NewCommunityID where
community_id=OldCommunityID and collection_id=CollectionID; /code

2. There is a reference to a second query related to communities2item table:
code update communities2item set community_id=NewCommunityID where
item_id in (select
item_id from item where owning_collection=CollectionID) /code

Do I need to execute #2 above for each community that the item
ultimately belongs to ? In other words, is there a difference between
moving a collection to a top-level community vs moving it to a
sub-community. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Harish

[Dspace-tech] what happens to handles, once an item is expunged?

2012-08-23 Thread Berry, Irene (CIV)
I want to thank the group here at the tech list for the thoughts about what 
happens to a handle once it is expunged, especially  Susan Thonton, Tim Donahue 
and helix84. We still have some uncertainty around what actually happens with 
handles after a withdraw vs. an expunge, but my practice at this point is going 
to be to assume the numbers will not be reused, but not to try to manually 
reuse handles, anyway.  I welcome any further discussion.  Thanks again, 
everyone.

Re: [Dspace-tech] what happens to handles, once an item is expunged?

2012-08-23 Thread Tim Donohue
You're welcome!

Just to clarify, in case there's any confusion:

In the current DSpace code, Handles are *never* reused.  As I mentioned, 
the only small exception (if it is one) is when you restore a deleted 
item using the AIP Backup  Restore tools, then that newly restored item 
is reassigned the same handle that it had before deletion.

As helix84 mentioned, you could manually change the DSpace database or 
source code to allow handles to be reused, if you had a reason to do so. 
  But, I wouldn't recommend this. Handles are meant to be persistent 
identifiers, and as such, they really shouldn't be reused for other objects.

- Tim
