  • Module - Identifiers (slides).pdf.jpg
  • Text


  • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-13T14:34:33Z)

  • Persistent Identifiers are an integral feature of repositories to assist with resource identification and preservation. This module will look at what persistent identifiers are, how they work and the benefits to using them in a DSpace repository. The module will then explore handles, the identifiers used for persistence in DSpace. The module will conclude with a look at how to apply for and configure a handle.

  • Module - Item submission workflows (slides).pdf.jpg
  • Text


  • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-14T14:36:11Z)

  • This module will introduce the item submission workflows available in DSpace. Workflows allow submissions to be checked before entering the repository. Submissions may be checked for accuracy, in order to improve the metadata, or simply to decide if they are OK to be archived. The module will show the three workflow steps available in DSpace, along with details about adding, changing and removing them from the submission process of collections.

  • Module - Items in DSpace (slides).pdf.jpg
  • Text


  • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-14T14:47:47Z)

  • Items are one of the core concepts in DSpace. An item a representation of the files and metadata bought together to make an atomic unit. This module introduces items and the constituent parts of metadata, bundles and bitstreams. The module concludes with a description of the standard submission interface and a practical exercise to submit an item. This module introduces items, but does not cover aspects such as what metadata is, or why it is needed. This is covered in the module 'An introduction to metadata in DSpace'.

  • Module - Language Customisation (slides).pdf.jpg
