We are redoing the community/collection hierarchy and am trying to get some grip on the best way to proceed. As I understand, sub-community management can be done via dspace's administrative tool (CommunityFiliator) and that would be very helpful in what I'm trying to do. However, there is a requirement to move existing collections to a new community/sub-community and based on what I read so far (1,2), this would involve manipulating database directly. I need some clarification on the process:
1. To change the collection-community relationship, I can use the query <code>update community2collection set community_id=NewCommunityID where community_id=OldCommunityID and collection_id=CollectionID; </code> 2. There is a reference to a second query related to communities2item table: <code> update communities2item set community_id=NewCommunityID where item_id in (select item_id from item where owning_collection=CollectionID) </code> Do I need to execute #2 above for each community that the item ultimately belongs to ? In other words, is there a difference between moving a collection to a top-level community vs moving it to a sub-community. Any help much appreciated.
