Cleanup display of Curation Admin UI to make more human readable/understandable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-750
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-750
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: XMLUI
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Tim Donohue
            Assignee: Richard Rodgers


The results from the Curation Admin UI are a bit confusing at times (and even 
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding/reading them, despite knowing the 
role of the Curation System).

Here's an example of retrieving results from Curation Admin UI:
* Login as Admin in XMLUI on http://demo.dspace.org/
* Visit a Community with contents (e.g. 
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/handle/10673/1)
* Click "Edit Community" and visit the "Curate" tab.
* Click "Perform" on "Profile Bitstream Formats"

The results are returned as one long, unbroken string -- e.g.:

"The task, profileformats was completed with the status: 0. Results: 11 (U) 
Unknown data format 1 (K) Broadcase Wave Format 1 (K) Microsoft Powerpoint 2 
(K) Graphics Interchange Format 1 (K) Microsoft Excel XML 1 (K) Microsoft Excel"

We may want to improve the readibility/understandability of these results by 
doing the following:
1. Replace "status: 0" with a understandable string like "Success"
2. Explain that "(K)" = Known Format and "(U)" = Unknown.  Or leave it out 
altogether, as the unknown data formats are already totaled together.
3. Return results in a bulleted list (or each entry on a separate line)

We also may potentially want a paragraph/description for each of the available 
Curation Tasks.  It's not always self-explanatory what a particular task may be 
doing (and therefore, what the results actually mean). 

I've sent these along to Richard Rodgers separately -- but, I wanted to track 
these issues here.  Also feel free to add more comments on the Curation Admin 
UI to this same issue.
