Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace/Manakin questions ...
Yes. At least once or twice per 'important' theme. Really there is an iterative nature to the process and at times specific features will go back to step 1 for consultation. Saying that once you're finished with step 1, is a probably too simplistic for me to say. Each person knows the others and regularly checks back and forth to keep everyone informed.

[Dspace-tech] eliminating "bots" from statistics
Hi... I am using using DStat from Edinburgh University in my DSpace 1.4.2 installation. I am looking at installing the Minho Statistics patch, also, but I'm not there, yet. I've been asked to eliminate all harvesting "bots" from my hits and downloads statistics. I've started doing this manually using grep and some simple scripts against my Apache logs, and it is very time consuming. I was wondering if anyone has some good strategies for removing "bots" from their DSpace statistics.

[Dspace-tech] Google Webmaster Tools
Has anyone here verified an XMLUI instance with Google's Webmaster Tools site? https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ I'm currently working with DSpace 1.4.2 and the last unintegrated release of Manakin. Google won't accept verification by token-file because the not-found page comes back with status 200 instead of 404, and I'm not quite sure how to set up a verification META tag in a Cocoon app. I'm hoping to point Google's sitemap harvester at our site's associated PMH service, but need to verify to Google my control of the site first. -- Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Suggestion for Manakin install documentation
Certainly it would be good to not recommend placing it in [tomcat]/conf/context.xml, since that file supplies common configuration for all webapp.s and would conflict with any need to run two instances of XMLUI with different configurations. Yes, I have two distinctly-configured production XMLUI instances running in one Tomcat instance. I'd suggest that the only information in that file be things on which all of your webapp.s need to agree. The way I do it is, alas, also Tomcat-specific: place it in a context descriptor in [tomcat]/conf/Catalina/[host]/[contextpath].xml It's really unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a standard-conforming way to pass per-instance configuration data into a webapp at startup time, instead of tinkering with the interior of the app. at build time for each distinct configuration. -- Mark H.

Typically before we release a new version into production we run both the current and new version along side each other for a period of time. This allows users to see the new version on live data before we finally make the switch. However there is a caching problem that prevents dspace from being run in a load-balanced environment. The back-end api at several points caches data and has no mechanism for refreshing its cache. So if you add a new community on one instance it will not show up in the other instance until the the JVM has been restarted. > *.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Computers games' repository
At the risk of wandering off-topic from DSpace, when archiving non-PC software (i.e., for operating systems other than MS-DOS/PC-DOS or Microsoft Windows, and not on standard IBM format disks) it is advisable to create an image of the original disk with software like 22Disk or ImageDisk. In that way, you can recreate a disk that will run on the original hardware. This is especially important where the original disk was copy protected by non-physical means. For more information on archiving old software, you might want to post a question to Classic Computer Mailing List at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or look in their archives. Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MacKenzie Smith Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 9:55 AM To: Jeane Teixeira Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Computers games' repository Hi Jeane, Jim was right that you can store any sort of digital object in DSpace (with metadata) including software programs like computer games, but to make a game truly useful over time requires a bit more effort... you probably know all about this so I apologize if this is old news, but most games (i.e. interactive software programs) only run in very specific computing environments, sometimes with specific I/O devices, and DSpace doesn't do anything to support that requirement now. So you could get the game binary from a DSpace archive, but it won't necessarily run. We ran into this issue with CAD models that we're trying to archive and that depend on particular CAD software to open. We are investigation archiving the CAD software along with the model, and providing an emulation or virtualization environment (e.g. via VMWare or QEMU) to run the software and open the model. If that works, then something like that might make your games playable in the future. The other strategy is to store the game (source code ideally, or binary if that's what you've got) along with *a lot* of information about the game (e.g. screen shots, descriptions of how it worked, hardware requirements, etc.) so that in the future people can figure out how to recreate its operating environment and get the right emulator for their computer.

Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace/Manakin questions ...
Hi Dorothea! Thanks for the great info. With the network mounted drive - what I'm thinking of is setting up something like this for load balancing and server fail-over: [Internet clouds of clients] <-> [Application-switch load balancer routes each incoming client to one of a cluster of running dspace servers ] <-> [ multiple dspace-servers running on different machines [dspace1] [dspace2] [dspace3] ... ] <-network-> [shared network-mounted /dspace folder], [shared postgres database] I'm concerned that if clientA -> gets routed to server -> dspace1 clientB -> gets routed to server -> dspace2 , and both clientA and cilentB attempt to update some overlapping data at the same time, then is there a chance for data corruption, or does D-space deal with this in some clever way ? I know that postgres is designed to handle this kind of situation, but I'm not sure how d-space uses the /dspace disk-storage. Thanks again for the help!

[Dspace-tech] DSpace/Manakin questions ...
Hello! We're evaluating several packages for setting up an institutional repository. I'm very impressed with D-Space, but have a few questions - hope the list can help me out. *. It looks like manakin actually runs D-space code internally at its core, but does the web interface using Coccoon. I originally thought that Manakin accessed D-Space as a client via EJB or SOAP or whatever: [Web Browser] <-> [Manakin server] <-> [D-Space server] , but that is not the case, right ? *. Is it safe to have a Manakin instance and a D-Space instance running on the same box, and pointing at the same /dspace work folder, or is it possible for data to be corrupted if the two servers attempt to modify the same object at the same time ? *. Is it safe to setup the /dspace work-folder on a network-mounted drive ? *. Is it safe to have 2 or more DSpace/Manakin instances running on separate servers pointing at the same /dspace network-mounted folder, as long as each server has its own copy of dspace/config ? *. If it's not safe to have multiple servers sharing a read+write /dspace folder, then would it be safe to have multiple READ-ONLY (anonymous asset-browsing) instances of DSpace/Manakin sharing a read-only network-mounted /dspace folder if we only allow a single DSpace instance to perform updates ? *. For branding or customizing the web interface - it looks like we have a choice of either: o. working with the D-Space .jsp pages - which are pretty old-school with a lot of embedded java o. jumping into XML/XSL world with Manakin Is that right ? *. Is there any plan afoot to try to update the D-Space .jsp pages by pushing some of the java-code into the dspace: tag-library, and pushing the form-processing out to JSF or struts, so we can point a web developer/designer specialist who likes to work with XHTML+javascript+CSS2 at the pages, and just let him do his thing with DreamWeaver or whatever ? Thanks for the help! Reuben - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

You can store whatever you like in DSpace :) You may want add a new metadata schema for describing them, but you wouldn't have to. cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.

[Dspace-tech] Wording of E-mail Messages
Hello,
Email message can be customized using the template at
[dspace]/config/emails. Please suggest how the arguments (i.e {0}, {4}

a hyperlink in the existing email template?
Cheers!
Jayan
