Greetings!

I am having difficulty incorporating our thesis holdings into DSpace when 
harvesting from our existing Koha ILS catalogue.  I am a little unsure 
about the best way to go about it, as it seems DSpace has several different 
ways of incorporating items.

Here is what we have:

   1. All theses catalogued in Koha
   2. Thesis holdings are converted to DublinCore and available via OAI-PMH 
   (https://library.sats.ac.za/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListSets)
   3. DSpace successfully harvests the data from the above OAI server
   4. Items appear as they should in each of the configured collections (
   https://research.sats.ac.za/communities/5a2b008a-e0ec-4470-81a2-3f2c8d1277c0)
   5. The URL to the actual thesis shows up in DSpace as dc.identifier in 
   the Full Item Page.  These urls refer to the PDF of the actual thesis 
   stored in S3. (e.g. 
   https://research.sats.ac.za/items/cb8ff81c-3a33-450f-a9a5-39101afeda70/full)

MY QUESTION:
What is the best way to incorporate the stored thesis PDF into Dspace? Do I 
harvest with ORE, do I "register", do I import? I am unclear on how these 
differ and what the end result would be.  I would like for the link to the 
thesis to show on the primary item page and for the thesis to be indexed by 
solr so we can take advantage of the full-text indexing.  Furthermore, if 
the url to the thesis is already available via the metadata, why can't 
Dspace simply incorporate that as part of the harvest process?

Thanks for the help!
