• BUT: certain bib. cit. metadata doesn’t map to OpenURL ContextObject– Book chapter: authors/editors of

book– Part of research report: sponsor,

authors/editors of report, volume– …


• In general: imposing QDC + OpenURL ContextObject without additional guidelines (profile) results in: – unstructured and incomplete metadata at the SP– low(er)-quality services

• EO: { Nereus QDC + OpenURL ContextObject + Nereus profile } is not good enough– certain metadata fields for certain document types don’t

find their place– EO service could be more ‘user-friendly’ with the

introduction of complex object metadata structures NEEO

• Need for a common standard for – bibliographic metadata

• QDC + EPrints Application Profile? • MODS?

– complex object metadata structure• METS? MPEG21/DIDL?

• Which one to choose?– some variant of QDC– some flavour of MARC (MARC21, UNIMARC,…)– MODS– …

• Can be whatever but– should be able to describe all types of academic output– high enough granularity and well-defined semantics so that

mapping to the different exchange formats is possible without loss of quality

– define metadata structure, irrespective of services !– object file related metadata !– follow standards !

• Unfortunately– a lot of IR softwares do not support granular, semantically well-

defined metadata formats

DP metadata-formatDP metadata-format

• DSpace uses QDC as internal metadata format; this is not good enough for high(er)-quality services (like EO)

• generic solution:– all DISpace fields are subfielded – a subfield is denoted through the ‘|’ character followed by 1

character – every DISpace field has at least an ‘a’ subfield; this subfield

doesn’t have to be explicitly entered in the DISpace field:• American journal of sociology|v12|i3|p123-345|d2004|s1234-5678

• |aAmerican journal of sociology|v12|i3|p123-345|d2004|s1234-5678

– every DISpace field can have a different list of valid subfields

– all subfields can be repeated within a DISpace field

DISpace internal record format can be extended:– new QDC fields can be defined (through new qualifiers)– additional subfields can be defined


• We have:– DISpace « QDC+subfields » format– Nereus XML Schema + Nereus profile

• Next step:– Map (crosswalk) between the two metadata

formats

– all items in DSpace reside in at least one collection– items can reside in more than one collection– every DSpace collection == OAI set

• Problem: – EO items reside in different collections– all of these collections can contain non-EO items

• Solution: – create ‘virtual collection’ for EO items– copy appropriate items into EO collection– appropriate items?

• all items written by authors that participate in the EO project

DISpace bulk ingestDISpace bulk ingest• bulk upload and update of bibliographic metadata

and object files in DISpace– researchers/departments already have their CV/publist in

an MS-Excel or MS-Access database– bulk manipulation of bibliographic metadata

• load/update offline collection into a DISpace collection

• offline collection:– unique collection name item: unique ‘offline’ item id– TAB delimited file (export from Excel or Access)

• should respect specific structure– object files

• file naming convention == f(offline item id)

EO exchange metadata format = MPEG21/DIDL

DISpace bitstream featuresDISpace bitstream features• Solution in DISpace:

– We need a possibility to define multiple characteristics of a bitstream (object file)

– DSpace comes with one « description » metadata field per bitstream

– DISpace: • add granularity to this field through the introduction of

subfields + semantics • per document type• currently: 3 features

– subfield a -- general description of content of bitstream– subfield s -- accessibility: { ULBINTERNET | ULBINTRANET |

ULBINVISIBLE }– subfield v -- versioning: { ULBPREPRINT | ULBPOSTPRINT |

ULBPUBPRINT }• example: |aChapter1|sULBINTRANET|vULBPUBPRINT• XML config file: bsfeatures.xml


DISpace submission DISpace submission interfacesinterfaces

• Need to reflect granularity and semantics of metadata fields and subfields in the DISpace submission interfaces:– Ease of submission process for the researcher self-archiver– Guarantee quality of metadata

Journal title


• Submission interface is completely configurable through XML configuration file « doctemplates.xml »:– submission template per document type (#15)– mandatory | optional– repeatable | non-repeatable– instructions / information texts– mapping with fields / subfields in database– define « validators / processors » per input

element– types of input elements:

• text / textarea / select / constant / helper • size of text(area) boxes / list of valid values / value of

constant


<dspace-doctemplate> <internal_doctype>article</internal_doctype> <input_areas> <input_area name="title">

« helper » input elements

• dedicated JSP • permits to generate vocabulary-controlled, well-formed metadata

in the submission interface• experimental: AJAX technology (DWR Java open source library)• currently:

– author/DAI lookup• based on list of potential ULB authors: name + local unique

identifier (DAI)• non-ULB co-authors are added to this list by submitter

– journal/ISSN lookup• based on official ISSN database• plans:

– extend with Sherpa/Romeo information– use Z39.50 access

• planned:– date helper– ontology helper


• DWR allows code in a browser to use Java functions running on a web server just as if it was in the browser

• Java is fundamentally synchronous where Ajax is asynchronous. So when you call a remote method, you provide DWR with a callback function to be called when the data has been returned from the network.


• submission workflow:– choose document type and collection– metadata template (with appropriate

helpers) for document type can be filled out

– (optionally) bitstreams are attached to the item

– last verification– confirm deposit

DISpace - other featuresDISpace - other features• DISpace collection structure

• main, special, special purpose• DISpace = institutional repository + institutional

bibliography• submitter can edit/delete his items

• SRU/SRW access• seamless integration into (library and other) portals

• Authentication• integration with university’s authentication mechanism

• To come: Web-based export toolkit• permits researcher to create publication lists « à la

carte »• reference format, filters on document types and

metadata fields, sort, output format (XML, CSV, HTML,…)

1. Why do we need a Nereus XML Schema?

international standards and profiles do not fulfill

2. Why is DSpace not (sufficiently) interoperable with EO?

the internal record structure of DSpace is not granular enough

3. How can I make my DSpace system EO interoperable within one month?

use the DISpace EO starters kit

4. Can we support « complex object » formats in DISpace?

yes; bitstream features

5. Is DISpace interoperable with RePEc, OAISTER, NEEO, …?

very probable; generic and extensible solution
