One current application of the curation system is a related set (suite) of tasks to assist in performing replication of DSpace content to other locations. The content is packaged in containers known as AIPs (OAIS speak: 'archival information packages'). You can read much more about how AIPs are constituted here: AIP Backup and Restore, and as of DSpace 1.7, support for generating AIPs will be included. This discussion also presupposes a little knowledge of the DSpace curation system, which is described here: CurationSystem. We will describe a concrete situation facing a repository data curator, and introduce each task as the need arises. We will also describe some of the technical configuration details to enable these tasks.

The Replication Task Suite source code is available at: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/dspace-replicate/ |
Prerequisites
To use the code described here, you will need a build of DSpace that supports both curation and AIPs. See CurationSystem for a link to a code branch that fulfills these requirements. You will also need a 'jar' of the replication task code, which must be placed in /dspace/lib. There must also be the replication configuration file (replicate.cfg) in /dspace/config/modules. Leave all values defaulted for now.
