[Dspace-general] Final days of DSpace 1.8.0 Testathon : Sept 12-23
Hello all, Just a reminder that today tomorrow are our final days of the official 1.8 Testathon. If you haven't had a chance to help us test 1.8.0, we'd encourage you to take a few minutes to browse around and see what you think! More details on how you can help are posted at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Testathon+Page A full list of features/changes in DSpace 1.8.0 can be found at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Notes Even after Testathon completes, our main Demo Server (http://demo.dspace.org) will still remain available for last-minute testing. So, you are welcome to continue to perform a bit of testing next week. However, we encourage you to report any issues you've located as soon as possible, so that we can get any final bugs resolved before the 1.8.0 final release. Thanks to all of you who have already helped test reported issues! We really depend on your support to help ensure the release is as bug-free as possible. We're looking forward to an exciting 1.8.0 release in October (see release notes above for our tentative release schedule). - The DSpace Committers On 9/7/2011 4:48 PM, Tim Donohue wrote: DSpace Community, On behalf of the DSpace Committers, we'd like to formally announce the DSpace 1.8.0 Testathon will begin on Monday, September 12 and last until Friday, September 23. This is your opportunity to get a preview of the upcoming 1.8.0 release, while also helping us to fully test the system and squash any last bugs! During the Testathon (September 12-23), you can help us by testing an early version of 1.8.0 on our Demo Site (http://demo.dspace.org) or other available Testathon sites (TBA). If you are technically inclined, next week you may also download a copy of this early release (1.8.0 RC1) and install it on your own local development server: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/files/DSpace%20Release%20Candidate/ Some key 1.8.0 features to be on the lookout for include: * Configurable Reviewer Workflow - adds ability to configure your own local approval workflow processes * Media RSS Feeds - Allows DSpace media content to now be published to iTunes U, iTunes podcasts, etc. * A SWORD Client - allows DSpace to send its content (via SWORD) to another SWORD enabled repository (including another DSpace) * Reordering of Bitstreams - Allows you to reorganize the files attached to an item into a defined order. * Virus checking during Submission process - when enabled, allows you to virus check all files *before* they get into DSpace. * Compatibility with SWORD v2 protocol - allows SWORD 2 clients to submit packages to DSpace. * Rewrite of Creative Commons Licensing - improves the process for adding a CC License to content during the submission process. * Split up the 'dspace.cfg' file into smaller, more easily managed configuration files. * Numerous other features, improvements bug fixes A full list of features/changes in DSpace 1.8.0 can be found at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Notes For additional information on the Testathon, how you can help, and how you can provide feedback, please visit: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.8.0+Testathon+Page Thanks!

[Dspace-general] A Handle 7.0 Question
All: I have been having a problem getting Handle 7.0 to work properly on my DSpace 1.6.0 installation. I use $dspace/handle-server/bin/hdl-server .. to start the Handle server: however, at the direction of Handle I was asked to add 2 lines to my config.dct file. Since then, I get an error whenever I go to start the Handle server. Unfortunately, Handle wasn't able to help me sort out the error, so I turn to you, to see if you might be able to provide some insight. The two lines are: storage_type = CUSTOM storage_class = org.dspace.handle.HandlePlugin But now when I attempt to run the server, I get the following error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.dspace.handle.HandlePlugin at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:294) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:186) at net.handle.server.HandleStorageFactory.getStorage(HandleStorageFactory.java:76) at net.handle.server.HandleStorageFactory.getStorage(HandleStorageFactory.java:35) at net.handle.server.HandleServer.init(HandleServer.java:505) at net.handle.server.AbstractServer.getInstance(AbstractServer.java:87) at net.handle.server.Main.initialize(Main.java:216) at net.handle.server.Main.main(Main.java:81) Unfortunately, I am not sure where to find this jar, and a basic search of my Linux server doesn't turn it up. Has anyone else run into this problem, or have any ideas of where I could look to solve this problem?

Re: [Dspace-general] Pushing content to other web sites
Hi Hilde, A few things I can think of... If you are using XMLUI, you could use the DRI (Digital Repository Interface). This is probably not part of the original intention, but you can access an XML version of every page, including a METS doc representing each community, collection, item... DRI for an item page: http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/DRI/handle/10673/45209 METS (Item): http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/metadata/handle/10673/45209/mets.xml METS (Collection): http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/metadata/handle/10673/2/mets.xml From there, you could repurpose the XML (DRI or METS) with an XSL stylesheet, or some other XPATH. The REST API https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/REST+API is a possibility. You could install as an external Module to your DSpace. Last time I used it, it worked really well for some things, and other things still needed work. i.e. I was able to have jQuery / AJAX pull in the Recent Submissions to a Collection onto a completely separate non-DSpace web page. Other things such as fetching the entire community/collection hierarchy might have caused a memory leak. Additionally, if you use Discovery, another possibility is to have the external site interact with SOLR (HTTP queryable, and returns item metadata). I like the idea of Open Search, and have had good experience connecting Windows 7 to interact with DSpace. However, I haven't stumbled upon any web frameworks to be a good client for Open Search. You could build your own application to connect to your DSpace postgres database, and from there you'd have to build your own application to be a discovery layer to your DSpace repository. A colleague of mine James Muir built an app Cotinga https://github.com/jamespaulmuir/cotinga in PHP to do that. The DSpacer's in New Zealand are building their own PHP app, Skylight UI, to work with DSpace: https://github.com/skylightui/skylight Finally, there is a Joomla plugin called J-Car which interacts with DSpace. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/living/education-a-culture/bibliography/10382 Peter Dietz On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Colenbrander, Hilde hilde.colenbran...@ubc.ca wrote: Hello: ** ** We’d like to provide flexible options for pushing DSpace content to other web sites.

Re: [Dspace-general] Pushing content to other web sites
DSpace supports OAI-PMH, so if you're wanting to push data to another OAI-compatible site (i.e., Omeka), you can set your DSpace up as an Open Archives provider, and your target site up as an Open Archives Harvester. You can also do the reverse.

Yes, via lucene syntax https://circle.ubc.ca/open-search/?query=title:%22El%20doctor%22format=atom Mark On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 3:26 PM, Joerg Messer joerg.mes...@ubc.ca wrote: Mark, Is it also possible to restrict your OpenSearch query to a specific index?

I'm not a big fan of using DRI or the METS xml renderings because they do not constitute a true API that the community has endorsed. DSpace's OpenSearch implementation does exist and supports the same features as the current search interface with an additional support for getting the content back in a specific format (atom or rss). https://circle.ubc.ca/open-search/?query=folksonomyformat=atom https://circle.ubc.ca/open-search/?query=folksonomyformat=atom You can designate a community/collection scope https://circle.ubc.ca/open-search/?scope=2429/21383query=folksonomyformat=atom https://circle.ubc.ca/open-search/?scope=2429/21383query=folksonomyformat=atom Theres a small inconsistency/bug in the implementation, you need to have a / after open-search/ to complete the query in XMLUI. This should probably be fixed before the next release.
