[Dspace-tech] Simple Archive Format item directory names
Hello list, Recently I batch-imported some items via the CLI without changing the item directory names to item_000, item_001, etc. This was a mistake, but to my great surprise, it worked. I've searched the archives and documentation, but can't actually come up with the answer to whether this is legitimately permissible. Is it? If yes, my map files become MUCH more useful. Was the convention item_000, item_001, etc adopted in the documentation for illustration purposes, or do I actually HAVE to name my item folders according to this scheme?

Hello Vika, this form was only choosen for illustration purpose. You need one directory per item, that's all. How you name the directories is up to you.

Thanks, Claudia! This is brilliant news. How do I make a request that this be made clear in the documentation? I've been batch uploading to DSpace for five years now, and didn't know this. -Vika -- Vika Zafrin Institutional Repository Librarian Boston University +1 617.358.6370 | http://open.bu.edu/ Claudia Jürgen wrote: Hello Vika, this form was only choosen for illustration purpose.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Simple Archive Format item directory names
Hi Vika,
I guess the SimpleArchiveFormat structure isn't too strict, or overly
defined, its simple after all.
As far as DSpace is concerned, it takes your Simple Archive Format (parent)
directory, and then iterates over the list of subfolders, processing each
folder as an Item. If your in to code:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/93fc28277e2414ffe8da4f9c5da453bc597104bc/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/itemimport/ItemImport.java#L768
String[] dircontents = d.list(directoryFilter);
Arrays.sort(dircontents);
for (int i = 0; i dircontents.length; i++)
{
addItem(c, mycollections, sourceDir, dircontents[i],
mapOut, template);
So, they don't even have to be numbered, just unique (filesystem
requirement), but if your using a tool to generate the SAF package, a
simple way to make unique, is to increment a number.
You can find a description on SAFPackager (a tool I use to create
batch packages):
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Simple+Archive+Format+Packager
Official docs for DSpace Item Import (that uses a SAF Package):
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format
