Tim Donohue updated DS-623:
---------------------------
Status: Open (was: Received)
There is an example of how to support other types of Calendars (specifically a
Persian Calendar) from a presentation entitled "EIAH's Experience in
Localization and Customization of DSpace" at Open Repositories 2009 Conference:
http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/28464
This presentation may be a good starting point towards supporting other types
of calendars. We also need to determine a representative range of calendars
that our users would like to see, so that we can work towards supporting the
most frequently requested ones first.
This issue needs a volunteer to lead the work and begin investigation of what
would need to be done to allow DSpace to support other types of calendars.
This issue was discussed in the DSpace Developers Meeting on Sept 22, 2010.
[20:29] <tdonohue> (One last one) multi-calendar :
http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-623
[20:30] <tdonohue> very broad request -- support for all calendars?
[20:30] * sandsfish (~sandsf...@dhcp-18-111-13-229.dyn.mit.edu) has joined
#duraspace
[20:31] <kshepherd> yeah.. actually, this was another thing the EIAH customised
[20:31] <kshepherd> (persian calendar)
[20:31] <mhwood> A representative range of contemporary calendars, anyway. I
wish the ticket gave examples of where this is not happening.
[20:31] <tdonohue> aha -- is it in the same talk then kshepherd? (you have a
good memory!)
[20:31] <mhwood> It is.
[20:31] <kshepherd> yep, the PDF covers it too
[20:32] <mdiggory> URI: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date
[20:32] <mdiggory> Label: Date
[20:32] <mdiggory> Definition: A point or period of time associated with an
event in the lifecycle of the resource.
[20:32] <mdiggory> Comment: Date may be used to express temporal information at
any level of granularity. Recommended best practice is to use an encoding
scheme, such as the W3CDTF profile of ISO 8601 [W3CDTF].
[20:32] <mdiggory> References: [W3CDTF] http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
[20:32] <tdonohue> ok -- DS-623. Send a similar response as DS-622. Add link to
OR09 talk which also covered persian calendar. (volunteer to respond?)
[20:32] <PeterDietz> I remember helping someone in #dspace who had an
institutional mandate to store items in roman, and in their local system, and
items would be input in one or the other date system. And they wanted it all to
be output in both roman and local time.
[20:32] <mdiggory> can't much deviate from that without examples
[20:33] <PeterDietz> My idea to them was to store it all in the DB as roman,
and convert in ingest, and on output
[20:34] <tdonohue> Ok -- we'll stop there. I can always paste in our comments
to DS-623 & send along that OR09 link
