Only a few annotation types have been defined so far, but as the number of tasks grow, we can look for common behavior that can be signaled by annotation. For example, there is a @Mutative type: that tells CS that the task may alter (mutate) the object it is working on.

Starter Tasks

DSpace 1.7 bundles a few tasks and activates 2 by default to demonstrate the use of the curation system. These may be removed (deactivated by means of configuration) if desired without affecting system integrity. Each task is briefly described here.

h.3 Bitstream Format Profiler
The task with the task name 'formatprofiler' (in the admin UI it is labelled "Profile Bitstream Formats") examines all the bitstreams in an item any produces a table ("profile") which is assigned to the result string. It has the layout:

     10 (K) Portable Network Graphics
     5  (S) Plain Text

where the left column is the count of bitstreams of the named format and the letter in parentheses is an abbreviation of the repository-assigned support level for that format:

    U  Unsupported
    K  Known
    S  Supported

The profiler will operate on any DSpace object. If the object is an item, then only that item's bitstreams are profiled, if a collection, all the bitsteams of all the items; if a community, all the items of all the collections of the community.

Required Metadata
