Hi Jessica, an item belongs to one collection (owning_collection in item table) and can be mapped to others. At the moment there is no out of the box way to do this mapping during ingest. It is quite easy to write a script to map items to other collections and run this as a cron job.
Another possibility (depending on your exact use case) is the use of the configurable browse (1.5 >) to allow different views/aggregations of data. E. g. you got the publication type (thesis, report, article etc) as a metadata for items and configure it as browsable. Then similar to subject you got a browse by type. Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen Jessica Lindholm schrieb: > Hello DSpacers, > > I would like to allow users to submit to one specific collection, but > the item itself to also belong to another collection* automatically, > which would correspond in my mind to some kind of automated "Item > mapper".
