Future Non-Technical Developments oWork more closely with the Graduate School to obtain permissions earlier in the process oStatewide IT Conference oEducation and Outreach efforts Dissertations in IUScholarWorks
Technical Objectives oImplement a drop box processor for automatic ingestion of content oImplement an embargo system for hiding of records (bitstreams and metadata) oSynchronize dissertation metadata between DSpace and IUCAT
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Drop Box Processor oOriginally Perl, ported to Java and integrated into DSpace code base oUses an XML-based collection file to specify collection parameters oCan be used for ANY arbitrary DSpace collection oGeneric enough to be used by non-IU institutions oCan create new items, and also update existing items (bitstreams and/or metadata)
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Drop Box Processor – Basic Functions oExamine incoming folders (possibly zipped) oPerform any needed XSL transformations to create DC metadata, bitstreams, contents lists, and author lists oIngest items into DSpace, including bitstreams, using the ItemImport class oAutomatically set embargo terms o results, including handle URL’s oMove original files to backup location

Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Drop Box Processor – Current Use oDrop Box Processor is currently in production use for the dissertations collection, as well as The Medieval Review oThe Medieval Review drop box transforms a single XML file into both DC metadata and an HTML bitstream
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargo Patch oOur starting point for embargoes: Johns Hopkins DSpace patch to use embargoes in DSpace oNew database table stores embargo information on an item-by-item basis oEmbargoes can be enabled for any collection in the repository
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargo Patch - Customizations Our customizations fell into 4 main areas: oKeep metadata completely hidden for embargoed items oAlter embargo terms without removing embargo oAllow admins to view hidden items oKeep search and browse indexes up-to-date
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargo Patch - Customizations Metadata should be completely hidden oItems should not appear in OAI output oItems should not appear in search and browse oItem will not show in total item counts oItem title should not appear when accessing item’s handle
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargoed item
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargo Patch - Customizations Alter embargo terms without removing embargo oInterface changes (Java and Javascript) to allow an admin user to change, remove or add embargo oOur embargo terms include a ‘pseudo-infinite’ term of 200 years oOther terms include 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Setting embargo terms
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Embargo Patch - Customizations New java class (IUSWEmbargoTask.java) runs nightly oFor items where the embargo has recently expired, make sure item is in search and browse indexes oFor items still under embargo, make sure item is included in a (password-protected) HTML page that lists all embargoed items
Dissertations in IUScholarWorks Future Work oSynchronization between IUCAT and DSpace Notify Technical Services when dissertation made public, provide Handle Overlay IUCAT record to enrich DSpace metadata oUpgrade DSpace version oMake our code public
