Hello George,

the embargo only works during the submission process. It will restrict the access to the bitstreams belonging to an item, set a lift date and change the date available. When the embargo is lifted the resource policies are inherited from the owning collections default settings.

Here is a simple example using a date field and the default setter.

Define 2 metadata fields in the metadata registry of your DSpace instance, e.g.:
foo.embargo.terms
foo.embargo.lift
(and if wanted hide these with the metadata hide feature)

Add them to the dspace.cfg as embargo fields:
embargo.field.terms = foo.embargo.terms
embargo.field.lift = foo.embargo.lift


Then you got to add the administrative.embargo.terms to the input-forms.xml:
       <field>
         <dc-schema>foo</dc-schema>
         <dc-element>embargo</dc-element>
         <dc-qualifier>terms</dc-qualifier>
         <repeatable>false</repeatable>
         <label>Date of embargo duration</label>
         <input-type>date</input-type>
         <hint>Some explanatory text</hint>
         <required></required>
       </field>

You can create your own setter and use terms like 6 months, 1 year etc on which base the lift date will be computed.

Hope that helps

Claudia Jürgen

Hi...

I have a question about using the new Embargo feature.  Previous to
DSpace 1.6, I used an altered version of the code developed by Terry
Owen (U of Maryland).  Now I am trying to use the new Embargo
feature.

I created two fields: dc.embargo.terms and dc.embargo.liftdate and
added them to an existing Thesis in my test system.  I was not able
to have the embargo applied.

Is there any documentation that shows some concrete examples of
setting these parameters and getting the embargo working?  Also, when
I try to run /dspace/bin/dspace embargo-lifter -c, I get the error:
"Command not found: embargo-lifter".

I did uncomment things in dspace.cfg for the embargo.  Any ideas
would be appreciated ;-)
