Configuration in 'dspace.cfg'

...

The following new configurations relate to AIPs:

AIP Generation (Dissemination) Configurations:

The following configurations allow you to specify what metadata is stored within each METS-based AIP. In dspace.cfg, the general format for these settings is:

  • field = <label-for-METS>:<DSpace-crosswalk-name> [, ...
    • field is the setting name
    • <label-for-METS> is optional. It allows you to specify the value of the @OTHERTYPE attribute in the corresponding METS element.
    • <DSpace-crosswalk-name> is required. It specifies the name of the DSpace Crosswalk which should be used to generate this metadata.
Warning

It is recommended to minimally use the default settings when generating AIPs. DSpace can only restore information that is included within an AIP. Therefore, if you choose to no longer include some information in an AIP, DSpace will no longer be able to restore that information from an AIP backup

  • aip.disseminate.techMD - Lists the DSpace Crosswalks (by name) which should be called to populate the <techMD> section of the METS file within the AIP (Default: PREMIS)
    • The PREMIS Crosswalk generates PREMIS metadata for the object specified by the AIP
  • aip.disseminate.sourceMD - Lists the DSpace Crosswalks (by name) which should be called to populate the <sourceMD> section of the METS file within the AIP (Default: AIP-TECHMD)
    • The AIP-TECHMD Crosswalk generates technical metadata (in DIM format) for the object specified by the AIP
  • aip.disseminate.digiprovMD - Lists the DSpace Crosswalks (by name) which should be called to populate the <digiprovMD> section of the METS file within the AIP (Default: None)
  • aip.disseminate.rightsMD - Lists the DSpace Crosswalks (by name) which should be called to populate the <rightsMD> section of the METS file within the AIP (Default: DSpaceDepositLicense:DSPACE_DEPLICENSE, CreativeCommonsRDF:DSPACE_CCRDF, CreativeCommonsText:DSPACE_CCTEXT)
    • The DSPACE_DEPLICENSE crosswalk ensures the DSpace Deposit License is referenced/stored in AIP
    • The DSPACE_CCRDF crosswalk ensures any Creative Commons RDF Licenses are reference/stored in AIP
    • The DSPACE_CCTEXT crosswalk ensures any Creative Commons Textual Licenses are referenced/stored in AIP
  • aip.disseminate.dmd - Lists the DSpace Crosswalks (by name) which should be called to populate the <dmdSec> section of the METS file within the AIP (Default: MODS, DIM)
    • The MODS crosswalk translates the DSpace descriptive metadata (for this object) into MODS. As MODS is a relatively "standard" metadata schema, it may be useful to include a copy of MODS metadata in your AIPs if you should ever want to import them into another (non-DSpace) system.
    • The DIM crosswalk just translates the DSpace internal descriptive metadata into an XML format. This XML format is proprietary to DSpace, but stores the metadata in a format similar to Qualified Dublin Core.
