Richard Rodgers updated DS-982:
-------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Received)
> Usability Improvements to Curation System
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: DS-982
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-982
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DSpace API
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Richard Rodgers
> Assignee: Richard Rodgers
>
> A small number of extensions to curation system to improve task authoring and
> curation end-user experience. No API or other breaking changes.
> Patches forthcoming, but brief write-up follows:
> (1) Admin UI - ability to cluster curation tasks into groups for display and
> selection. The UI code will be adapted to look for and recognize a set of
> properties that permit grouping of tasks.
> Groups can be defined for any purpose, and are optional. If no groups are
> defined, the behavior in the UI is as present: all tasks that have been
> mapped by the ui.tasknames property will appear in a single drop-down list.
> If any group is defined, then the UI will display *only* tasks associated
> with defined groups. A task may belong to several groups, and there may be
> any number of groups. This will give administrators the ability to logically
> and cleanly present tasks: the UI will first display a set of groups, then
> when selected, the tasks in that group.
> New properties:
> ui.groupnames =
> firstgroup = "A sensible collection of tasks",
> secondgroup = "Metadata checking tools"
> the right hand side customizable phrase will appear in the UI.
> ui.group.firstgroup = task1, task2,,,,
> ui.group.secondgroup = task3, task4...
> these properties will define the members of the group
> (2) Scriptable tasks. Support will be added for authoring tasks in non-java
> languages, specifically those accessible via JSR223 - the Java Scripting API.
> Note that these languages are *not* installed in DSpace by default, and must
> be for the scripting engine to operate. Support for any specific language is
> not
> included with this extension.
> (3) Flexible, hierarchical, task configuration. This facility provides tasks
> with a convenient way to manage their configuration data. It is an optional
> feature, and tasks are not required to utilize it, but it is available in the
> AbstractCurationTask class as a set of convenience methods, so tasks
> extending this class can use if desired.
> The method 'taskProperty(String name)' when invoked by a task named
> "mytask.prof1" will return a value (if any) as follows:
> if there is a file config/modules/mytask.cfg, this is loaded into a property
> set.
> if there is a file confi/modules/mytask.prof1.cfg, this is loaded into the
> same property set, supplementing or overriding the properties in 'mytask.cfg'
> the value associated with 'name' is returned to caller.
> Using task properties, task authors can create multiple 'profiles' of the
> same task (one which forces an update perhaps, one which doesn't), can factor
> out common properties,
> and many other uses. This can greatly diminish the amount of java coding
> required to support tasks. It relies on the convention that the same task
> code can have multiple
> task names.
