Hi, We use DSpace among other things for "Dissertations Online". Sometimes the dissertation is in the repository, but the publisher disallows the distribution of the full text of the dissertation or part of the dissertation. It must be under embargo.
We have implemented a solution for this by using the resource policy mechanism. You can set an embargo on a single bitstream, and when the embargo ends, the bitstream is automagically available for download. I want to share the code, but we still use Dspace 1.3.2 without CVS/SVN support, so making a patch is nearly impossible. That is way I made a wiki discribing the changes, including some screenshots and a script to set embargoes in batch. See it at: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Embargo_on_Bitstream I also looked at the source for Dspace 1.4.2 and I think it is viable to implement this change on that version, but until we upgrade to Dspace 1.4.2 ourselves, it is left as an exercise for the reader ;-) regards, Lucas van Schaik Developer Leiden University Library Witte Singel 27, Postbus 9501, 2300 RA Leiden Tel. +31 71 - 527 28 87 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
