Tim Donohue commented on DS-645:
--------------------------------

This issue was looked at during DSpace Developer Meeting on Jan 5 2010.

We determined we need to find a volunteer to investigate how best to implement 
these enhancements for both the XMLUI and JSPUI.

Assuming we can locate an interested volunteer developer, this may be something 
that could be added to 1.8.0.

>             Project: DSpace
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: JSPUI, XMLUI
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
>            Reporter: Jim Ottaviani
>            Priority: Major

> Two features to improve the current embargo functionality:
> * Full embargo capability
> Under a full embargo, an item is submitted and assigned a persistent 
> URL/handle, but no information (metadata or bitstream) is visible or 
> searchable until the embargo has lifted. This is, in effect, a temporary 
> withdrawal, with an expiration date after which the item becomes reinstated.
> Note that this is how authors and publishers affected by the many and various 
> mandated open access policies (NIH, Wellcome, etc.) define embargo, since 
> e.g. the NIH does not make anything visible in PubMed Central until the 
> embargo is lifted.
> * Current functionality: partial embargo warning text
> As currently configured, an embargoed item, its metadata, and the "View/Open" 
> link for its bitstream are all visible, with no indication that the bitstream 
> is not accessible. An automatic note should be placed in e.g. the bitstream 
> description field indicating that the bitstream can not in fact be viewed or 
> opened by most users.
> The current implementation provides a bad user experience -- in effect, a 
> bait-and-switch: Everyone sees the "View/Open" link, but that link doesn't 
> open the file; it instead triggers a login prompt. But after doing so, users 
> find they still can't access the bitstream unless they're a site 
> administrator. The administrator can of course add "Access to file restricted 
> until DD-MMM-YYYY" or something similar to the item retroactively, but having 
> the system prompt for this, or do it automatically, is appropriate.
