12 Statistics Question – Is our DSpace being used? Number of downloads on a bitstream per month Stored in the database Collection/Community/DSpace – Sum of downloads Statistics are public Bumps along the way – web crawlers The next version – Bitstream downloads per day per IP address

13 Why Store Statistics in Database? Common Question – Why not use the log files? Answers: –Little to no maintenance –Linking to other information –Real-time response Trade-offs –History –What you see is what you get

14 Checksum Tool The Promise – Preserve and maintain documents The Worry – Are we keeping the promise? The Basic Idea – Re-Calculate the checksum The Email – Anyone written a tool like this? – Jim Downing and Grace Carpenter respond – No, lets write one. The Tool – Work began and is almost complete
