Dear All, I am testing the harvesting of my new DSpace 6.0 installation. I wonder if it's possible to prevent DSpace from creating a new dc.identifier.uri for incoming harvested items? It seems the setting oai.harvester.acceptedHandleServer = hdl.handle.net in oai.cfg has no effect when using DIM Metadata Format. It says in oai.cfg that:
# A harvest process will attempt to scan the metadata of the incoming items # (dc.identifier.uri field, to be exact) to see if it looks like a handle. # If so, it matches the pattern against the values of this parameter. # If there is a match the new item is assigned the handle from the metadata value # instead of minting a new one. Default value: hdl.handle.net oai.harvester.acceptedHandleServer = hdl.handle.net I tried several repositories to test this, including the Demo server of DSpace but it is just minting a new dc.identifier.uri for incoming items. If I use Simple Dublin Core or QDC as the Metadata format, it will save the original handle of the item in dc.identifier but it is still creating new dc.identifier.uri for incoming items. Is this the expected behaviour? Or is this a bug? I just want to assign the original handle of the item in dc.identifier.uri. Lastly, if the source repository did not register with CNRI's handle service, what will I put in the oai.harvester.acceptedHandleServer? Can I just use the source repository's url? eg repository.university.edu instead of hdl.handle.net?
