How it gets from Out There to In Here

DSpace Ingest Workflow




What we’re talking about

• What is DSpace?• Submitting Items• Post-Submission Workflow• Case Study: Theses Submission to the

Edinburgh Research Archive• Future Development




Who Pays for DSpace?

• Initialised under HP-MIT Alliance• Open-Source, Community Developed• Code Committers and Contributors from

around the globe:




(Nearly) 101 Things to do with DSpace

• Capture, Store, Index, Preserve, Redistribute

• Metadata/Files• Institutional web

interface: Search/Browse• OAI-PMH (Open Archives

Initiative – Protocol for Metadata Harvesting)

What about the Future?

• HP Labs: Extending the DSpace information model for preservation‒ http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/HpPositionPaper

• DSpace@Cambridge: digital preservation tools and strategies‒ http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/dspace/

• MIT: DSpace Submission Form Customisation• + much much more…

‒ http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DspaceProjects

The general objective is to produce a more advanced modular architecture for DSpace 2.x which will allow modules, including submission and workflow modules to be easily pluggable.




DSpace Submission Form Customisation

Support the customisation of metadata submission forms on a per collection basis by means of an XML configuration file

<input-forms><form-maps>

maps collection id to unique names of form-definitions</form-maps>

<form-definitions>define the fields for the default form set

</form-definitions>

<form-value-pairs>the default dropdown lists, and any custom dropdownlists (e.g. languages; types of items submitted; etc.)

</form-value-pairs></input-forms>




Archival Information Packages (AIPs)

Provide packages for digital preservation that encapsulate all the files of an item along with its metadata

RDBM File System

AIPs
