Tim Donohue commented on DS-1482:
---------------------------------
Response from Anurag:
"Hi Tim: XML/HTML sitemaps would be fine if they were always enabled. As far as
I remember, sitemaps need to be explicitly enabled at configuration time in
dspace and most instances don't enable them. Also, it would be good if the
sitemap when enabled was automatically linked from either the robots.txt (if
XML) or the homepage (if HTML). Again, depending on individual instances to do
this means it usually doesn't happen.
That said, a by-year browse would be good for human readers as well.
cheers,
anurag"
> Add a way for harvesters to find recently added items (request from Google)

> Key: DS-1482
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1482
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
>
> This request came out of a discussion I had with Anurag Acharya and Darcy
> Darpa at Google / Google Scholar.
> Anurag mentioned that often the Google harvesters seem to need to do a lot of
> "paging / clicking" in order to find new items in a DSpace instance. This
> can cause both a performance hit in DSpace (as the crawler keeps requesting
> pages), and also can result in delays where items may not appear in Google
> for some time (if the crawler gives up or moves on before it ever finds the
> item).
> Anurag mentioned that it'd be much easier (both on DSpace performance and on
> the Google crawlers), if DSpace provided some way to easily locate recently
> added items.
> This could be something like a "Browse Recently Added Items" (i.e. browse by
> dc.date.accessioned), or similar. It was noted that EPrints has such a
> feature (called "Latest Additions"). For example, see their demo site:
> http://demoprints.eprints.org/cgi/latest
> It's also worth noting this could just be as simple as adding a "More...."
> Option to our existing "Recently Added" list (of 5 items), so that you can
> see other recently added items.
