Re: [Dspace-tech] Log into DSpace with curl
Have you successfully used the 'content searching' part of the API? Didn’t work for me -- very basic queries would fail to return any results. It also lacks any specificity -- how do you do an advanced query with the API? Can you search by author and then limit to a certain publication year??? Probably not, but I can do that with screen scraping. I would love it if the API could do a /search?author=Simon+Brownpubyear=2012 but I don't think it does that? -Original Message- From: ivan.ma...@gmail.com [mailto:ivan.ma...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of helix84 Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 2:41 AM To: Brown, Simon Contractor, Digital Consulting Services Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Log into DSpace with curl Hi Simon, as an alternative to screen scraping, you may want to take a look at the REST API [1] which is made exactly for tasks like this one.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Log into DSpace with curl
My use for this is making a tool for generating/extracting metadata reports (e.g. a bibliography based on a advanced search query) into a useable data format (.csv) for the staff at my library. DSpace lacks functions that allow saving lists and exporting citations so this is kind of a work around. Also, you can extract metadata by collection for batch editing and mapping, but not by query. What if you want to map an author's publications to a new collection for that author but the author's publications are spread across many different collections? I should be able to generate the metadata spreadsheet for batch editing not just based on collection, but based on any query that I can think of doing based on the metadata and full text. I already have a good start to doing this with screen scraping, but I'm just lacking the item IDs -- hence the login with RCurl. This tool is for library staff (and anyone else who is willing), not for the administrator of the website who can do SQL queries if they wanted. People who need to access the data, not just the documents.

[Dspace-tech] SWORD, REST API, OAI QDC Questions and a script for SIPs
Good morning! I have two conceptual ideas about our DSpace repository that I am not sure are correct. I am basically struggling with questions of interoperability - we want our detailed metadata to appear in VuFind and we want to create detailed OCLC records with Digital Gateway. First, I am hoping with all hope that the detailed metadata we have worked very hard to create for our DSpace repository can somehow be exposed through OAI (I know that the default OAI only provides the basic DC elements). I have gone through the documentation and it looks like the qdc crosswalk can be configured to show additional metadata - but what files do you have to configure to add a new metadata field to be displayed by the OAI qdc (i.e. to create a new crosswalk)? I'm kind of confused by the language in the documentation: Qualified Dublin Core, produced by the configurable QDC crosswalk. Note that this QDC does not include all of the DSpace dublin core metadata fields, since the XML standard for QDC is defined for a different set of elements and qualifiers. (My emphasis) Second, because we can't use the XMLUI admin interface on our live site and for other reasons, I would like to use SWORD in order to perform all of our batch importing and batch metadata editing/curation on a dev site and then have the collection pushed into the live site via SWORD to avoid doing all this work with live records - is it possible to use SWORD to transfer many items at a time? Or is this just not a good idea - what is the practice for setting up a new community with multiple collections and thousands of items imported as batches, checking them, making corrections and without doing it in public view? Thanks so much in advance for your time and patience! Also - I have written an R script which will make a SIP from a spreadsheet of metadata -- if anyone wants it email me!

The short answer is, don't do it :) The prefix 'dc' represents the Dublin Core namespace in DSpace. Its impossible to have 'dc' represent 2 different namespaces. In addition, Dublin Core is a published standard with a fixed set of terms. Over the years DSpace's metadata registry has become a little polluted with terms that are not strictly DC but if anything the intention would be to tidy that up and encourage people to use other schema for non DC terms. I would strongly urge you to use something other than DC for non-DC terms. Its always nice if you can find another published standard that fits your needs but you can always define a local one if none are available. Probably not what you wanted to hear, sorry. 2) While you can mix metadata elements for an item from multiple schemas in manual submission, for the batch ingest you can only specify a single schema for the batch.

[Dspace-tech] Conflict with mixing metadata schemas and batch ingest
I am using version 1.7. I hope I can convey the specifics of this complication correctly, please bare with me. I am helping to set up a DSpace repository to initially contain a Thesis collection, but then in the future to contain many collections of different types with their own metadata needs. We would really like to use custom metadata schemas to separate out the metadata specific to certain collections but also use qualified Dublin Core for all metadata. For, example for theses we would like to have a 'dc.thesis.degree', but you can only have the 'dc' prefix if you use the default metadata schema!!! Here are the specifics of the project: We are planning to use the batch ingest tool to load the retrospective thesis content (~20,000 items) into DSpace. We have decided upon using a specific standard set of Dublin Core metadata elements as defined by the NDLTD for ETDs (http://www.ndltd.org/standards/metadata/etd-ms-v1.00-rev2.html) Although these are Dublin Core elements, some are specific only to theses and we would therefore prefer to use a custom metadata schema to keep them separate from the default schema. The complication is 2 fold: 1) That DSpace uses the unique name of the metadata schema as the prefix for metadata elements but we would rather have the 'dc' prefix for any Dublin Core metadata whether from the default or custom metadata schemas. 2) While you can mix metadata elements for an item from multiple schemas in manual submission, for the batch ingest you can only specify a single schema for the batch. Ideally, I want to have a few custom DC metadata elements for theses in a custom metadata schema and mix these with the main DC elements for things like author and title, but have all metadata prefixed with 'dc'. Is there any way you can make DSpace to allow the 'name' of two different schemas to be 'dc' Thank you for any input you have into this.
