  • The DSpace Course - Technical Basics

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-21T12:44:46Z)

  • This module provides a basic technical overview of the DSpace software. The module will describe the three tiered application architecture of DSpace and look at how this relates to the server architecture of DSpace. The module will then look at what aspects of a DSpace repository should be backed up for both disaster recovery and preservation. The module will conclude with a look at the role of the repository administrator and the technical staff in configuring, managing and maintaining the repository.

  • The DSpace Course - SWORD basics

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-14T15:51:57Z)

  • This module introduces the SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) interface available in DSpace. SWORD allows remote systems (software or agents) to submit items via a common interface. This module introduces the concepts behind SWORD along with examples where it might be used.

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-22T08:29:03Z)

  • This module gives an overview of the type of customization that can be performed on a DSpace repository user interface. The module will look at the two interfaces that DSpace 1.5 supports, the XMLUI and the JSPUI detailing what they are, how they differ and the benefits of each. The module will conclude with a look at some example repository interfaces.

  • The DSpace Course - Repository Structure

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-21T15:27:48Z)

  • Communities and Collections are used within DSpace to provide the repository with an easily navigable structure often representing an institutions organizational makeup. This module will begin by describing what both a community and collection are and how they relate to each other. The module will then look at example structures that are often used within DSpace repositories, finally concluding with a practical exercise on creating a sample repository structure. This module will make reference to the repository structure, but does not cover aspects such as items or metadata. Further information on items can be found in the module 'An introduction to Items in DSpace'. Further information on metadata can be found in the module 'An introduction to metadata in DSpace'.

  • The DSpace Course - Metadata Input Customisation

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-21T15:41:47Z)

  • This module initially looks at the submission process in further detail, specifically input-forms.xml. It details what the input-forms.xml file is and how it can be used to customize the DSpace submission process. The module will conclude with a practical on a simple modification to the DSpace submission process. This module builds on topics covered in modules 'Repository Structure' and 'Introduction to Items'. It is advised that you have completed these modules before continuing with this module.

  • The DSpace Course - An Introduction to Metadata in DSpace

    • Authors: Lewis, Stuart; Yates, Chris (2008-08-13T12:17:28Z)

  • This module will introduce the concept of metadata, and why it is used. Following that, the metadata support in DSpace will be explained along with how metadata is encoded and stored. The metadata registry which holds the metadata will be shown, and the out-of-the-box metadata schema will be examined. Finally the module will show how to add a new metadata schema, along with a practical exercise to add a new term to the Dublin core scheme included with DSpace.
