In DSpace 7.0, the Biblio-Transformation-Engine (BTE) was removed in favor of Live Import from external sources. All online services and bibliographic formats previously supported by BTE have been moved or are being moved to the External Sources framework. |
Introduction
This documentation explains the features and the usage of the importer framework. The importer framework is built into both the REST API and User Interface. Currently supported formats include:
- Drag & drop of Endnote, BibTex, RIS, TSV, CSV, arXiv, PubMed. From the MyDSpace page, dragging & dropping one of these files will start a new submission, extracting the metadata from the file.
- Import via ORCID, PubMed, Sherpa Journals, Sherpa Publishers. From the MyDSpace page, you can select to start a new submission by searching an external source.
Features
- Look up publications from remote sources.
- Support for multiple implementations.
Submitting starting from external sources
- From the MyDSpace page a new submission can be started not only using the submission form but also automatically populating metadata, importing them from several online services.
- After choosing the external source to import from and inserting a term in search bar, the system will show the list of matching results.
- When selecting an item, the system will display the metadata to be imported, according to the configured mapping.
- Clicking on “Start submission” the system will display the submission forms filled with the imported metadata.
Submitting starting from bibliographic file
- From the MyDSpace page, drag & drop the bibliographic file (e.g. bibtex, endnote, etc) onto the file dropbox
- Select the collection to submit to
- Submission will be created, with the metadata parsed out of that bibliographic file. The bibliographic file will also be attached as a Bitstream (in case some fields could not be successfully parsed). You can choose to keep it or delete it.
More Information
More information on configuring metadata mappings for various import formats / services can be found in the Live Import from external sources documentation. See the "Editing Metadata Mapping" section.
