Hello! Maybe this has been solved in the past and I'm just unable to find it. Then a pointer would be helpful.
Given, I have a set of bibliographic records in BibTeX or EndNote format. Given also, these records contain associations with locally stored PDF files. That is, I end up with an association of Metadata and the digital objects in either BibTeX or EndNote/RIS format. Given, I want to import all this right away into DSpace, and ideally, I'd allow the user himself to do this. Some "Upload my bibliography". Are there tools for this available yet? Point is: DSpace ingest is done nicely, "but" graphically and I've to key in a lot of data. It is acutally quite time consuming. On the other hand, most scientists have the bibliographic data already at hand as they use them in their publication process. It is a bit difficult to explain them that it is required to key them in again into some web forms and that the only "automatism" is copy & paste. A more concrete example. Say you work in High Energy Physics. You submit your papers ot arXiv.org, anyway. Now, if I want all these papers in the local repository as well the best way to go would be to either * Fetch the bibliographic data from arXiv by means of OAI-PMH (trivial) and move them on to DSpace (how?). Hook up the PDF and the ingest is done. (Similar things hold for PubMed btw.) I could imagine an "upload by ID" where you could just key in the arXiv(pubmed)-number, the rest can be done by the system automatically. * Use the authors local BibTeX record, upload that one to DSpace, hook up the PDF done again. Does such a system exist already? I think it would improve usability for the endusers (and therefore acceptance) considerably. -- Kind regards, Alexander Wagner Subject Specialist Central Library 52425 Juelich mail : a.wag...@fz-juelich.de phone: +49 2461 61-1586 Fax : +49 2461 61-6103 http://www.fz-juelich.de/zb/mitarbeiter/fachinformation#wagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
