Re: [dspace-tech] Modifying Creative Commons license name

When adding a Creative Commons license to an item, DSpace adds the license name straight from the API, eg “Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International”. This is obviously clear in the context of CC’s own API, but is mildly ambiguous in the general environment, so we’d rather it use “Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International”.   Is there anywhere to define this (ie creating the metadata field value as “Creative Commons “ + API_result)? Note we don’t have the capability to play with the source code.   We can always add it to page-structure.xsl for display purposes, but ideally we’d also like it to come through in our OAI feed too. I don't think there is any way to specify this extra bit. The CCLookup class retrieves the licence name and adds it to the item metadata without any opportunities for changing it. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/license/CCLookup.java#L390 page-structure.xsl will work as you say; for the OAI feed, you should be able to add it to the oai crosswalk/s for the metadata format/s you care about. Right now eg the oai_dc oai crosswalk just takes whatever is the metadata value https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace/config/crosswalks/oai/metadataFormats/oai_dc.xsl#L65 but there's no reason why you can't add extra bits inside <dc:rights><xsl:value-of select="." /></dc:rights> or even use a choose statement inside dc:rights to selectively modify some of the values. Are you able to add curation tasks to your DSpace instance? You could write a curation task that changes the CC license names and appends the "Creative Commons " string where required. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer Lead Software Developer, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand +64-7-837 9120 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
