I've put up a prototype implementation of the authority control proposal first mentioned on the wiki page: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Authority_Control_of_Metadata_Values
I recommend you re-read the page if you looked it before since most of it has changed. Source for a prototype implemenation based on 1.6 trunk is available on a branch: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/authority-control-1_6-prototype There is also a jira entry for it now which contains pointers to the other sources and completes the trifecta: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-236 I'm looking for help on two tasks: 1. Port/test the DB schema change with PostgreSQL, since I only have oracle; should be trivial. 2. Implement the UI changes under JSPUI. Probably _not_ trivial, but if you've used that JSP tag thing built on script.aclo.us, then it ought to be straightforward since I'm using that library too. Plese check it out, comment on the wiki, add your changes to the code. (Ask Mark Diggory if you need access to that svn branch, it's his idea..) Thanks also to Christophe Dupriez for much good feedback and inspiration (hope you like the ChoiceAuthority architecture). -- Larry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list Dspace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
