Re: [Dspace-tech] Custom submission based on dc:type

2011-12-20 Thread Cristian Romanescu
Hi again,

Just to answer my own question. I think I come up with a clever idea on 
showing various fields depending on dc:type. I put all the fields into a 
single step workflow (since I only have about 15 unique properties) and 
I will show/hide fields depending on what user selects on the first 
field of the form which is dc:type.

First the user selects 'Book', so I show from Javascript 'title', 
'ISBN'. If changes to Contact - I hide those and show name and email etc.

 Greetings,

 I'm a newcomer here, using DSpace since last week, hopefully posting to
 the correct mailing list.

 I'm customizing DSpace instance where we have Communities -  Collections
 -  Items (that differ from each other by dc:type). Items can be: people,
 books etc., each having its own set of fields, but also common fields
 (name).

 By reading the manual I found out that item-submission.xml can be
 customized only for each type of collection, but not for item type from
 a collection.

 Is this true? Or can I customize the forms for each item type (different
 dc:type) in subsequent steps of the workflow? I'm wondering how you
 handled such a scenario in DSpace.


 Thank you and any help is appreciated,
 Cristian.

 Hi Rob,

 Have you restarted your servlet container (i.e. tomcat)?
 You always need to restart to make a config change apply.

 Another possibility could be caching. Try appending some junk to the url
 you are visiting, such as ?somerandomstring or
 anotherRandomStringWhenThereIsAlreadyAParameter and see if the page
 changes.

Re: [Dspace-tech] search can't sort by date issued

2011-12-20 Thread Bram Luyten
My very wild guess would be that it's related to a value in date issued
that breaks the creation of the index on this value.
This could be verified if you can setup an almost empty DSpace, with a few
records of which you know they all have valid values for date issued.

After this test, we would know whether it's related to the metadata or
whether there's a deeper problem.

[Dspace-tech] metadata survey results

2011-12-20 Thread Valorie Hollister
Dear DSpace Community - 

(apologies for the cross-posting)

Below is a message from the DSpace Community Advisory Team about the recent 
community survey on improving metadata support.
 
Valorie Hollister
Director of Community Programs
DuraSpace
vhollis...@duraspace.org

-- 


At the request of the DSpace Committers and Developers, the DSpace Community 
Advisory Team 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/DSpace+Community+Advisory+Team) 
(DCAT) has begun an effort to build a community consensus on improving the 
metadata support in future DSpace releases. Last month this process began with 
a community survey to collect feedback on what improvements organizations would 
like to see relative to metadata support in DSpace.

Survey Result Highlights

* 84% of respondents use DSpace or plan to use DSpace

* 86% of respondents indicated that Dublin Core was the most relevant metadata 
standard for their organization

* In addition to Dublin Core, respondents saw a need to support ingest and 
export for the following standards, in order of priority: Dublin Core, MODS, 
PREMIS, Open URL ContextObject, ETD-MS

* 72% of respondents indicated it is a priority to add metadata authority 
controls/vocabularies to the data model

* 62% of respondents indicated it is a priority to have enhanced metadata for 
Communities, Collections and/or individual Files (bitstreams)

* 56% of respondents indicated it is a priority to update to update the 
Qualified Dublin Core registry to the latest standards of the DCMI.

* 54% of respondents indicated would not have objections to prohibiting 
changes/deletions that would break compliance with the standardized default 
Dublin Core metadata schema

The complete survey results are available here: 
http://www.dspace.org/images/publications/Metadata%20Support%20Survey%20Final.pdf

 

Where do we go from here?

From the survey it is clear that improvements to metadata support in DSpace 
could help solve some common challenges for many organizations. Many will agree 
that there is no one size fits all repository software. DSpace is the most 
popular repository software, used by over 1,000 organizations for a reason – it 
is relatively easy to get a repository up and running. Because of this the 
DSpace developers have to be careful that adding functionality it is not at the 
cost of making it more difficult for the vast majority of DSpace use cases. 
With that in mind, DCAT has proposed exploring the following priorities with 
the DSpace Committers/Developers and the user community:

1) Add metadata authority controls/vocabularies to the data model. Since there 
is an existing add-on for controlled vocabularies 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Authority+Control+of+Metadata+Values),
 DCAT interprets this to mean that we should open up the rights to use a 
controlled vocabulary and possibly link it from an external source. Some 
examples would be the National Agricultural Library (linked open data) and the 
National Library of Medicine (subject based). 

2)  Update the Qualified Dublin Core registry to the current DCMI standards, 
adopting the newer DC Terms namespace 
(http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/ ) as an evolutionary step over the 
15 original elements (http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/) in the dc 
namespace. Based on the community survey, DCAT also recommends that the default 
configuration should separate out standardized DC metadata, administrative 
metadata and local customizations into distinct metadata schemas. Repository 
administrators would be prevented from modifying the standardized DC metadata 
which would effectively break compliance. Instead, local modifications would be 
accomplished in a separate metadata schema.

3)   Enhanced the metadata available for Community, Collections and Files 
(bitstreams). Unlike Items, Collections, Communities and Files (bitstreams) 
currently do not have Dublin Core metadata associated with them. The community 
has expressed an interest in making the available descriptions more granular.

4)   Simplify and make local customizations more accessible by bringing more 
functionality into the user interface or metadata registry. This could also 
include a utility to import/export metadata to a schema other than DC. Some 
community members expressed an interest in exposing the RDF triples. In 
addition, DCAT recommends a comprehensive tutorial on how/where to perform 
specific metadata schema tasks be developed. 

5) Explore the implications of offering hierarchal metadata in DSpace and 
whether it makes sense, given the DSpace/Fedora integration work. Hierarchal 
metadata would allow for relationships between community/collection/bitstream 
metadata. Because Fedora metadata is not stored in the database, as it is in 
DSpace, but in files, the relational aspect functionality in Fedora is more 
flexible. It is hoped that the DSpace/Fedora

That's a very good guess! I haven't yet gotten around to building a dspace
with some more debugging around the search code to see what's actually
happening, but this is very plausible.

Looking the our DB,  there were a few non-ISO format dates, and a couple
nulls. I updates the bad format dates, removed the nulls, and reindexed,
but search by date issued still doesn't work. Do all the dates need to be
in a more specific format? (like full ISO: 2000-01-12T12:13:14Z).

I believe I saw an issue like this a while back in 1.6.2, when issue date was 
missing the trailing ‘Z’.

That would be unfortunate, since a date doesn't *require* the time
portion (or the Zulu). Many of the older items in our db don't even
have a specific day, just  or -MM (both of which should be
compliant).

[Dspace-tech] Introducing the KnowledgeBase

2011-12-20 Thread Valorie Hollister
Dear Fedora and DSpace communities - 

Below is an announcement about a new, exciting community initiative.

Valorie Hollister
Director of Community Programs
DuraSpace
vhollis...@duraspace.org



Introducing the DuraSpace KnowledgeBase
A New Community Home for DSpace and Fedora Learning Resources

Ithaca, NY To support the DSpace and Fedora repository software user 
communities with access to improved online learning materials, the DuraSpace 
organization today announces the launch of the KnowledgeBase. This dynamic 
organizational wiki structure is aimed at creating a comprehensive set of 
training and educational resources for DSpace and Fedora users. Once it is 
populated with content, the KnowledgeBase will help new users walk through the 
steps of how to get a repository up and running as well as various basic 
administrative tasks. Included in this wiki-based guide will be a variety of 
delivery tool options including text, images, diagrams, screencasts, 
presentation slides, webinars and more.

So far efforts on the KnowledgeBase have focused on designing a flexible 
structure to make it easy for community members to contribute any size or 
variety of content. In consultation with the community, DuraSpace has built an 
interactive home for materials, identified potential tools/guidelines for 
content contributions, drafted a list of topics to be covered, defined 
community roles as well as created some sample content.

To learn more about the KnowledgeBase, you can visit the main KnowledgeBase 
page (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/KB/Welcome+to+KnowledgeBase), the 
DSpace KnowledgeBase page 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/KB/Welcome+to+KnowledgeBase) or Fedora 
KnowledgeBase page 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FedoraKB/Fedora+KnowledgeBase). You may 
also take a look at some sample content: DSpace text-based/image content 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25467341), a DSpace 
screencast (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSpaceKB/Upgrading+DSpace) and a 
Fedora screencast 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FedoraKB/Rebuilding+Indexes). 

The KnowledgeBase’s future usefulness depends on the collaborative efforts of 
the DSpace and Fedora user communities. The structure has been specifically 
designed to encourage members of the community to make bite-sized contributions 
-- text guide for one topic, a short screencast or attaching a link to 
presentation slides or other useful resources. We hope that you will consider 
contributing content or becoming a content moderator! If you would like more 
information on contributing visit How to Contribute 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/KB/Contribute+to+KnowledgeBase) or if you 
have feedback or questions about the KnowledgeBase, please contact Valorie 
Hollister at vhollis...@duraspace.org.

Re: [Dspace-tech] search can't sort by date issued

2011-12-20 Thread Thornton, Susan M. (LARC-B702)[LITES]
Interesting.  I just looked at Items I just imported and I did NOT specify what 
any of these 3 fields should be in dublin_core.xml – they all got set by DSpace 
(version 1.7.1).  It’s interesting that date.issued is the only one with a 
different format:
DC Field Value  
 Language
dc.date.accessioned2011-12-20T18:59:53Z   -
dc.date.available 2011-12-20T18:59:53Z   -
dc.date.issued 2011-12-20  -

I wonder if maybe this is the problem….?

[Dspace-tech] Error - javax.servlet.ServletException: Unable to compile class for JSP

Figured it out, yum had updated tomcat and altered the owner of its work 
directory.  effectively which stopped tomcat from using it to compile 
its JSPs.
