DSpace Curation Tasks Build Status

Metadata curation tasks used on the CGSpace institutional repository:

  • CountryCodeTagger: add ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 country codes to items based on their existing country metadata

Tested on DSpace 5.8. Read more about the DSpace curation system.

Build and Install

To build the standalone jar:

$ mvn package

Copy the resulting jar to the DSpace lib directory:

$ cp target/dspace-curation-tasks-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ~/dspace/lib/dspace-curation-tasks-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Invocation

Once the jar is installed and you have added appropriate configuration in ~/dspace/config/modules:

$ ~/dspace/bin/dspace curate -t countrycodetagger -i 10568/3 -r - -l 500 -s object

Note: it is very important to set the cache limit (-l) and the database transaction scope to something sensible (object) if you're curating a community or collection with more than a few hundred items.

Notes

This project was initially created according to the Maven Getting Started Guide:

$ mvn -B archetype:generate -DgroupId=io.github.ilri.cgspace -DartifactId=dspace-curation-tasks -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4

Todo

  • Make sure this doesn't work on items in the workflow
  • Port to DSpace 6
    • Remember to bump Gson version!
  • Check for existence of metadata field before trying to add metadata
  • Add tests
