Tim Donohue commented on DS-491:
--------------------------------
We discussed this extremely briefly in today's DSpace Developers Mtg (Feb 17
2010).
Essentially, we agreed it sounds like a good idea -- we just need to find one
or more developers willing to volunteer to build it into the JSPUI and XMLUI.
As Claudia mentions, it is "possible" to do underneath, but obviously not at
all optimal. So, hopefully someone will step up to make this easier for
everyone by building an Administrative UI tool for it.
Thanks!
> Ability to map collections to multiple communities

> Key: DS-491
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-491
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sarah Shreeves
>
> I searched to see whether this had been requested before but could not see it.
> As a repo manager of an increasingly complex repository (IDEALS), I am
> getting more and more requests to have a collection appear in more than one
> community. For example, we have a joint grant activity between the Library
> School and the Library which has produced a series of reports. Both units
> would like to have these items included in their community under a collection
> specifically for the grant activity. Right now, the only way to do this is to
> create two separate collections, submit items to one collection, and then map
> them to the other collection (which is a tedious process in and of itself
> especially since the search functionality is so problematic there).
> Another example which I'm faced with right now is a collection that will
> include a series of reports that are jointly published by two departments.
> The administrators would like to see this series appear in the community for
> each department, but they would also like to be able to include the handle
> for the entire series on each report (i.e. the collection handle). Right now,
> they either have to choose a 'canonical' collection between the two or we
> have to create a separate community and collection divorced from the
> department communities.
> I would like to see a way where I could map an entire collection so that the
> collection can appear in multiple communities. I would assume that the items
> in that collection would also be mapped. There would be a single handle for
> that collection (essentially the same way the item mapper works).
> This request has come in to me about five or six times now, and it seems that
> the more interdisciplinary work we get into the repository - particularly if
> we're looking at collections of works, not just items - the more necessary
> this kind of functionality will be. It also seems important for a publication
> series where the collection really groups items that belong together.
> I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have about this!
