We will use the dspace.cfg as our example for input conventions used through out throughout the system. It is a basic Java properties file, where lines are either comments, starting with a '#', blank lines, or property/value pairs of the form:
...
Some property defaults are "commented out". That is, they have a "#" proceeding preceding them, and the DSpace software ignores the config property. This may cause the feature not to be enabled, or, cause a default property to be used when the software is compiled and updated.
...
Things you should know about editing dspace.cfg
files.
It is important to remember that there are * two dspace.cfg
files after an installation of DSpace.*
...
- The "source" file that is found in {{\
[dspace-source
\]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg
}}unmigrated-wiki-markup - The "runtime" file that is found in {{\
[dspace
\]/config/dspace.cfg
}}
The runtime file is supposed to be the *copy* of the source file, which is considered the master version. However, the DSpace server and command programs only look at the _runtime_ configuration file, so when you are revising your configuration values, it is tempting to _only edit the runtime file_. *DO NOT* do this. Always make the same changes to the source version of {{dspace.cfg
}} in addition to the runtime file. The two files should always be identical, since the source {{dspace.cfg
}} will be the basis of your next upgrade.
...
To keep the two files in synchronization, you can edit your files in {{\[dspace-source
\]/dspace/config/
}} and then you would run the following commands: {{{*} Wiki Markup
Code Block |
---|
cd |
...
[dspace-source |
...
]/dspace/target/dspace-<version>-build.dir ant update_configs |
...
This will copy the source {{dspace.cfg
}} (along with other configuration files) into the runtime ({{\[dspace
\]/config
}}) directory.
You should remember that after editing your configuration file(s), and you are done and wish to implement the changes, you will need to:
...
- Run {{{*}{_}
ant
\-Dconfig=
/\[dspace
\]/config/dspace.cfg
update
{_}{*}}} if you are updating your {{dspace.cfg
}} file and wish to see the changes appear. Follow the usual sequence with copying your webapps.unmigrated-wiki-markup - If you edit _dspace.cfg_ in _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/config/_, you should then run '_ant init_configs_' in the directory _\[dspace-source\]/dspace/target/dspace-1.5.2-build.dir_ so that any changes you may have made are reflected in the configuration files of other applications, for example Apache. You may then need to restart those applications, depending on what you changed.

Wording of E-mail Messages
...
Sometimes DSpace automatically sends e-mail messages to users, for example, to inform them of a new work flow task, or as a subscription e-mail alert. The wording of emails can be changed by editing the relevant file in _\[dspace
\]/config/emails
_ . Each file is commented. Be careful to keep the right number 'placeholders' (e.g._\{2\}_).
Note: You should replace the contact-information "dspace-help@myu.edu or call us at xxx-555-xxxx
" with your own contact details in:
config/emails/change_password
config/emails/register
File Storage
DSpace supports two distinct options for storing your repository bitstreams (uploaded files). The files are not stored in the database in which Metadata, user information, ... are stored. An assetstore is a directory on your server, on which the bitstreams are stored and consulted afterwards. The usage of different assetstore directories is the default "technique" in DSpace. The parameters below define which assetstores are present, and which one should be used for newly incoming items. As an alternative, DSpace can also use SRB (Storage Resource Brokerage) as an alternative. See Section 5.2.6 SRB File Storage for details regarding SRB.
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | This is Asset (bitstream) store number 0 (Zero). You need not place your assetstore under the /dspace directory, but may want to place it on a different logical volume on the server that DSpace resides. So, you might have something like this: _ | ||
Property: |
| ||
Example Value: |
| ||
Informational Note: | This property specifies extra asset stores like the one above, counting from one (1) upwards. This property is commented out (#) until it is needed. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="9d2fd3ee-c723-45f8-9344-52bc68ebe369"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[ | Informational Note: | Informational Note: Specify the number of the store to use for new bitstreams with this property. The default is 0 [(zero] ) which corresponds to the 'assestore.dir' above. As the asset store number is stored in the item metadata (in the database), always keep the assetstore numbering consistent and don't change the asset store number in the item metadata. ]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro> |
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
In the examples above, you can see that your storage does not have to be under the |
...
see below)). So, if you added storage space to your server, and it has a different logical volume/name/directory, you could have the following as an example: |
assetstore.dir = /storevgm/assetstore
assetstore.dir.1 = /storevgm2/assetstore
assetstore.incoming = 1
Please Note: When adding additional storage configuration, you will then need to uncomment and declare assestore.incoming = 1
SRB (Storage Resource Brokerage) File Storage
...
The same framework is used to configure SRB storage. That is, the asset store number (0..n) can reference a file system directory as above or it can reference a set of SRB account parameters. But any particular asset store number can reference one or the other but not both. This way traditional and SRB storage can both be used but with different asset store numbers. The same cautions mentioned above apply to SRB asset stores as well. The particular asset store a bitstream is stored in is held in the database, so don't move bitstreams between asset stores, and do not renumber them.
Property: | | ||
Example value: | | ||
Property: | | ||
Example value: | | ||
Property: | | ||
Example value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Your SRB Metadata Catalog Zone. An SRB Zone (or zone for short) is a set of SRB servers 'brokered' or administered through a single MCAT. Hence a zone consists of one or more SRB servers along with one MCAT-enabled server. Any existing SRB system (version 2.x.x and below) can be viewed as an SRB zone. For more information on zones, please check http://www.sdsc.edu/srb/index.php/Zones. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Your SRB domain. This domain should be created under the same zone, specified in srb.mcatzone. Information on domains is included here http://www.sdsc.edu/srb/index.php/Zones. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Your default SRB Storage resource. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Your SRB Username. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Your SRB Password. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: |
| ||
Informational Note: | Your SRB Homedirectory | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Several of the terms, such as mcatzone, have meaning only in the SRB context and will be familiar to SRB users. The last, |
...
- a local file system directory (native DSpace)
- a set of SRB account parameters (host, port, zone, domain, username, password, home directory, and resource
Should the there be any conflict, like '2' referring to a local directory and to a set of SRB parameters, the program will select the local directory.
If SRB is chosen from the first install of DSpace, it is suggested that 'assetstore.dir' (no integer appended) be retained to reference a local directory (as above under File Storage) because build.xml uses this value to do a mkdir
. In this case, 'assetstore.incoming' can be set to 1 (i.e. uncomment the line in File Storage above) and the 'assetstore.dir' will not be used.
Logging Configuration
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | This is where your logging configuration file is located. You may override the default log4j configuration by providing your own. Existing alternatives are:
| ||
Property: | | ||
Example value: | | ||
Informational Note: | This is where to put the logs. (This is used for initial configuration only) | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | If your DSpace instance is protected by a proxy server, in order for log4j to log the correct IP address of the user rather than of the proxy, it must be configured to look for the X-Forwarded-For header. This feature can be enabled by ensuring this setting is set to true. This also affects IPAuthentication, and should be enabled for that to work properly if your installation uses a proxy server. |
...
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | Where to put the search index files | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | By setting higher values of search.max-clauses will enable prefix searches to work on larger repositories. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | It is possible to create a 'delayed index flusher'. If a web application pushes multiple search requests (i.e. a barrage or sword deposits, or multiple quick edits in the user interface), then this will combine them into a single index update. You set the property key to the number of milliseconds to wait for an update. The example value will hold a Lucene update in a queue for up to 5 seconds. After 5 seconds all waiting updates will be written to the Lucene index. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | Which Lucene Analyzer implementation to use. If this is omitted or commented out, the standard DSpace analyzer (designed for English) is used by default. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | Code Block |
|
Informational Note: | Instead of the standard English analyzer, the Chinese analyzer is used. | |
Property: |
| |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note | Boolean search operator to use. The currently supported values are OR and AND. If this configuration item is missing or commented out, OR is used. AND requires all the search terms to be present. OR requires one or more search terms to be present. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the maximum number of terms indexed for a single field in Lucene. The default is 10,000 words‚Äîoften words‚ often not enough for full-text indexing. If you change this, you will need to re-index for the change to take effect on previously added items. -1 = unlimited (Integer.MAG_VALUE) | |
Property: |
| |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note | This property determines which of the metadata fields are being indexed for search. As an example, if you do not include the title field here, searching for a word in the title will not be matched with the titles of your items.. |
For example, the following entries appear in the default DSpace installation:
...
...
search.index.1
...
=
...
author:dc.contributor.*
...
search.index.2
...
=
...
author:dc.creator.*
...
search.index.3
...
=
...
title:dc.title.*
...
search.index.4
...
=

...
search.index.11
...

...
search.index.11
...

...
language:dc.language.iso
...
The format of each entry is search.index.<id> = <search label> : <schema> . <metadata field>
where:
| is an incremental number to distinguish each search index entry |
| is the identifier for the search field this index will correspond to |
| is the schema used. Dublin Core (DC) is the default. Others are possible. |
| is the DSpace metadata field to be indexed. |
In the example above, search.index.1
and search.index.2
and search.index.3
are configured as the author
search field. The author
index is created by Lucene indexing all dc.contributor.*
,dc.creator.*
and description.statementofresponsibility
metadata fields.
After changing the configuration run _ Wiki Markup /
\[dspace
\]/bin/dspace index-init
_ to regenerate the indexes.
While the indexes are created, this only affects the search results and has no effect on the search components of the user interface. One will need to customize the user interface to reflect the changes, for example, to add the a new search category to the Advanced Search.
In the above examples, notice the asterisk (*
). The metadata field (at least for Dublin Core) is made up of the "element" and the "qualifier". The asterisk is used as the "wildcard". So, for example, keyword.dc.subject.*
will index all subjects regardless if the term resides in a qualified field. (subject versus subject.lcsh). One could customize the search and only index LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) with the following entry keyword:dc.subject.lcsh
_ instead _ of keyword:dc.subject.*
Authority Control Note:
Although DSIndexer automatically builds a separate index for the authority keys of any index that contains authority-controlled metadata fields, the "Advanced Search" UIs does not allow direct access to it. Perhaps it will be added in the future. Fortunately, the OpenSearch API lets you submit a query directly to the Lucene search engine, and this may include the authority-controlled indexes.
...
The CNRI Handle system is a 3rd party service for maintaining persistent URL's. For a nominal fee, you can register a handle prefix for your repository. As a result, your repository items will be also available under the links http://handle.net/<<handle prefix>>/<<item id>>. As the base url of your repository might change or evolve, the persistent handle.net URL's secure the consistency of links to your repository items. For complete information regarding the Handle server, the user should consult Section 3.4.4.. The Handle Server section of Installing DSpace.

(formally Custom Authentication)
Since many institutions and organizations have existing authentication systems, DSpace has been designed to allow these to be easily integrated into an existing authentication infrastructure. It keeps a series, or "stack", of authentication methods, so each one can be tried in turn. This makes it easy to add new authentication methods or rearrange the order without changing any existing code. You can also share authentication code with other sites.

The configuration property plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod
defines the authentication stack. It is a comma-separated list of class names. Each of these classes implements a different authentication method
, or way of determining the identity of the user. They are invoked in the order specified until one succeeds.
An authentication method is a class that implements the interface org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod
. It authenticates
a user by evaluating the credentials (e.g. username and password) he or she presents and checking that they are valid.
...
- A request is received from an end-user's browser that, if fulfilled, would lead to an action requiring authorization taking place.
- If the end-user is already authenticated:
- If the end-user is allowed to perform the action, the action proceeds
- If the end-user is NOT allowed to perform the action, an authorization error is displayed.
- If the end-user is NOT authenticated, i.e. is accessing DSpace anonymously:
- The parameters etc. of the request are stored.
- The Web UI's
startAuthentication
method is invoked. - First it tries all the authentication methods which do
implicit
authentication (i.e. they work with just the information already in the Web request, such as an X.509 client certificate). If one of these succeeds, it proceeds from Step 2 above. - If none of the implicit methods succeed, the UI responds by putting up a "login" page to collect credentials for one of the
explicit
authentication methods in the stack. The servlet processing that page then gives the proffered credentials to each authentication method in turn until one succeeds, at which point it retries the original operation from Step 2 above.
Please see the source filesAuthenticationManager.java
andAuthenticationMethod.java
for more details about this mechanism.
...
- By explicitly specifying to the user which attribute (header) carries the email address.
- By turning on the user-email-using-tomcat=true which means the software will attempt to acquire the user's email from Tomcat.
The first option takes Precedence when specified. both options can be enabled to allow for fallback.Property:
authentication.shib.email-header
Example Value:
authentication.shib.email-header = MAIL
Informational Note:
The option specifies that the email comes from the mentioned header. This value is CASE-Sensitive.
Property:
authentication.shib.firstname-header
Example Value:
authentication.shib.firstname-header = SHIB-EP-GIVENNAME
Informational Note:
Optional. Specify the header that carries the user's first name. This is going to be used for the creation of new-user.
Property:
authentication.shib.lastname-header
Example Value:
authentication.shib.lastname-header = SHIB-EP-SURNAME
Informational Note:
Optional. Specify the header that carries user's last name. This is used for creation of new user.
Property:
authentication.shib.email-use-tomcat-remote-user
Example Value:
authentication.shib.email-use-tomcat-remote-user = true
Informational Note:
This option forces the software to acquire the email from Tomcat.
Property:
authentication.shib.autoregister
Example Value:
authentication.shib.autoregister = true
Informational Note:
Option will allow new users to be registered automatically if the IdP provides sufficient information (and the user does not exist in DSpace).
Property:
Code Block authentication.shib.role-header authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope
Example Value:
Code Block authentication.shib.role-header = Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope = true
or
Code Block authentication.shib.role-header = Shib-EP-UnscopedAffiliation authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope = false
Informational Note:
These two options specify which attribute that is responsible for providing user's roles to DSpace and unscope the attributes if needed. When not specified, it is defaulted to 'Shib-EP-UnscopedAffiliation', and ignore-scope is defaulted to 'false'. The value is specified in AAP.xml (Shib 1.3.x) or attribute-filter.xml (Shib 2.x). The value is CASE-Sensitive. The values provided in this header are separated by semi-colon or comma. If your sp service provider (SP) only provides scoped role header, you need to set authentication.shib.role-header.ignore-Scope as 'true'. For example if you only get Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation instead of Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation, you name to make your settings as in the example value above.
Property:
authentication.shib.default-roles
Example Value:
authentication.shib.default-roles = Staff, Walk-ins
Informational Note:
When user is fully authN or IdP but would not like to release his/her roles to DSpace (for privacy reasons?), what should the default roles be given to such user. The values are separated by semi-colon or comma.
Property:
Code Block authentication.shib.role.Senior\ Researcher authentication.shib.role.Librarian
Example Value:
Code Block authentication.shib.role.Senior\ Researcher = Researcher, Staff authentication.shib.role.Librarian = Administrator
Informational Note:
The following mappings specify role mapping between IdP and Dspace. The left side of the entry is IdP's role (prefixed with 'authentication.shib.role.') which will be mapped to the right entry from DSpace. DSpace's group as indicated on the right entry has to EXIST in DSpace, otherwise user will be identified as 'anonymous'. Multiple values on the right entry should be separated by comma. The values are CASE-Sensitive. Heuristic one-to-one mapping will be done when the IdP groups entry are not listed below (i.e. if 'X' group in IdP is not specified here, then it will be mapped to 'X' group in DSpace if it exists, otherwise it will be mapped to simply 'anonymous'). Given sufficient demand, future release could support regex for the mapping special characters need to be escaped by '\'
Authentication by Password
The default method org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
has the following properties:
- Use of inbuilt e-mail address/password-based log-in. This is achieved by forwarding a request that is attempting an action requiring authorization to the password log-in servlet,
/password-login
. The password log-in servlet (org.dspace.app.webui.servlet.PasswordServlet
) contains code that will resume the original request if authentication is successful, as per step 3. described above. - Users can register themselves (i.e. add themselves as e-people without needing approval from the administrators), and can set their own passwords when they do this
- Users are not members of any special (dynamic) e-person groups
- You can restrict the domains from which new users are able to register. To enable this feature, uncomment the following line from dspace.cfg:
authentication.password.domain.valid = example.com
Example options might be '@example.com
' to restrict registration to users with addresses ending in @example.com, or '@example.com, .ac.uk
' to restrict registration to users with addresses ending in @example.com or with addresses in the .ac.uk domain.
...
- See the HTTPS installation instructions to configure your Web server. If you are using HTTPS with Tomcat, note that the
<Connector>
tag must include the attributeclientAuth="true"
so the server requests a personal Web certificate from the client. - Add the
org.dspace.authenticate.X509Authentication
pluginfirst
to the list of stackable authentication methods in the value of the configuration keyplugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod
e.g.:Code Block plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \ org.dspace.authenticate.X509Authentication, \ org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
- You must also configure DSpace with the same CA certificates as the web server, so it can accept and interpret the clients' certificates. It can share the same keystore file as the web server, or a separate one, or a CA certificate in a file by itself. Configure it by one of these methods, either the Java keystore
...or the separate CA certificate file (in PEM or DER format):Code Block authentication.x509.keystore.path = path to Java keystore file authentication.x509.keystore.password = password to access the keystore
Code Block authentication.x509.ca.cert = path to certificate file for CA whose client certs to accept.
- Choose whether to enable auto-registration: If you want users who authenticate successfully to be automatically registered as new E-Persons if they are not already, set the
authentication.x509.autoregister
configuration property totrue
. This lets you automatically accept all users with valid personal certificates. The default isfalse
.
Example of a Custom Authentication Method
...
You can create your own custom authentication method and add it to the stack. Use the most similar existing method as a model, e.g. org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
for an "explicit" method (with credentials entered interactively) or org.dspace.authenticate.X509Authentication
for an implicit method.
Configuring IP Authentication
You can enable IP authentication by adding its method to the stack in the DSpace configuration, e.g.:
Code Block |
---|
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = org.dspace.authenticate.IPAuthentication |
...
You are than then able to map DSpace groups to IP 's addresses in dspace.cfg by setting _authentication.ip.GROUPNAME
=
iprange
\[,
iprange
...
\]
, _ e.g:
Code Block |
---|
authentication.ip.MY_UNIVERSITY = 10.1.2.3, \ # Full IP 13.5, \ # Partial IP 11.3.4.5/24, \ # with CIDR 12.7.8.9/255.255.128.0, # with netmask 2001:18e8::/32 # IPv6 too |
Negative matches can be set by prepending the entry with a '-'. For example if you want to include all of a class B network except for users of a contained class c network, you could use: 111.222,-111.222.333.
...
You can enable LDAP authentication by adding its method to the stack in the DSpace configuration, e.g.
Code Block |
---|
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication |
If LDAP is enabled in the dspace.cfg file, then new users will be able to register by entering their username and password without being sent the registration token. If users do not have a username and password, then they can still register and login with just their email address the same way they do now.
...
Standard LDAP Configuration | ||
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This setting will enable or disable LDAP authentication in DSpace. With the setting off, users will be required to register and login with their email address. With this setting on, users will be able to login and register with their LDAP user ids and passwords. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the url to your institution's LDAP server. You may or may not need the /o=myu.edu part at the end. Your server may also require the ldaps:// protocol. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Explanation: | This is the unique identifier field in the LDAP directory where the username is stored. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the object context used when authenticating the user. It is appended to the ldap.id_field and username. For example | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: |
| |
Informational Note: | This is the search context used when looking up a user's LDAP object to retrieve their data for autoregistering. With ldap.autoregister turned on, when a user authenticates without an EPerson object we search the LDAP directory to get their name and email address so that we can create one for them. So after we have authenticated against uid=username,ou=people,o=byu.edu we now search in ou=people for filtering on [uid=username]. Often the | |
]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro> | Property: | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the LDAP object field where the user's email address is stored. "mail" is the default and the most common for ldap LDAP servers. If the mail field is not found the username will be used as the email address when creating the eperson object. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the LDAP object field where the user's last name is stored. "sn" is the default and is the most common for LDAP servers. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the LDAP object field where the user's given names are stored. I'm not sure how common the givenName field is in different LDAP instances. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This is the field where the user's phone number is stored in the LDAP directory. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object. | |
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | This will turn LDAP autoregistration on or off. With this on, a new EPerson object will be created for any user who successfully authenticates against the LDAP server when they first login. With this setting off, the user must first register to get an EPerson object by entering their ldap username and password and filling out the forms. | |
LDAP Users Group | ||
Property: | | |
Example Value: | | |
Informational Note: | If required, a group name can be given here, and all users who log into LDAP will automatically become members of this group. This is useful if you want a group made up of all internal authenticated users. (Remember to log on as the administrator, add this to the "Groups" with read rights). |
Hierarchical LDAP Settings. If your users are spread out across a hierarchical tree on your LDAP server, you will need to use the following stackable authentication class:
Code Block |
---|
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication |
You can optionally specify the search scope. If anonymous access is not enabled on your LDAP server, you will need to specify the full DN and password of a user that is allowed to bind in order to search for the users.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This is the search scope value for the LDAP search during autoregistering. This will depend on your LDAP server setup. This value must be one of the following integers corresponding to the following values: code

Informational Note: | The full DN and password of a user allowed to connect to the LDAP server and search for the DN of the user trying to log in. If these are not specified, the initial bind will be performed anonymously. |
Property: | _ |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | If your LDAP server does not hold an email address for a user, you can use the following field to specify your email domain. This value is appended to the netid in order to make an email address. E.g. a netid of 'user' and |
Restricted Item Visibility Settings
...
In large repositories, setting harvest.includerestricted.oai to false may cause performance problems as all items will need to have their authorization permissions checked, but because DSpace has not implemented resumption tokens in ListIdentifiers, ALL items will need checking whenever a ListIdentifers request is made.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | When set to 'true' (default), items that haven't got the READ permission for the ANONYMOUS user, will be included in RSS feeds anyway. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | When set to true (default), items that haven't got the READ permission for the ANONYMOUS user, will be included in OAI sets anyway. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | When set to true (default), items that haven't got the READ permission for the ANONYMOUS user, will be included in Subscription emails anyway. |
...
These settings for proxy are commented out by default. Uncomment and specify both properties if proxy server is required for external http requests. Use regular host name without port number.
Property: | |
Example Value | |
Informational Note | Enter the host name without the port number. |
Property: | |
Example Value | |
Informational Note | Enter the port number for the proxy server. |
...
Media Filters are configured as Named Plugins, with each filter also having a separate configuration setting (in dspace.cfg) indicating which formats it can process. The default configuration is shown below.
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | (See example below) |
| ||
Informational Note: | Place the names of the enabled MediaFilter or FormatFilter plugins. To enable Branded Preview, comment out the previous one line and then uncomment the two lines in found in dspace.cfg:
| |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: (See example below) |
| |||
Informational Note: | Assign "human-understandable" names to each filter | |||
Property: (See key below) |
| |||
Example Value: (See example below) |
| |||
Informational Note: | Configure each filter's input format(s) | |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | It this value is set for "true", all PDF extractions are written to temp files as they are indexed. This is slower, but helps to ensure that PDFBox software DSpace uses does not eat up all your memory. | |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | If this value is set for "true", PDFs which still result in an "Out of Memory" error from PDFBox are skipped over. These problematic PDFs will never be indexed until memory usage can be decreased in the PDFBox software. |
Names are assigned to each filter using the plugin.named.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.FormatFilter
field (e.g. by default the PDFilter is named "PDF Text Extractor".
Finally, the appropriate filter.<class path>.inputFormats
defines the valid input formats which each filter can be applied. These format names must match the short description
field of the Bitstream Format Registry.
You can also implement more dynamic or configurable Media/Format Filters which extend SelfNamedPlugin
.
Crosswalk and Packager Plugin Settings
...
The MODS crosswalk is a self-named plugin. To configure an instance of the MODS crosswalk, add a property to the DSpace configuration starting with "crosswalk.mods.properties.
"; the final word of the property name becomes the plugin's name. For example, a property name crosswalk.mods.properties.MODS
defines a crosswalk plugin named "MODS
".
The value of this property is a path to a separate properties file containing the configuration for this crosswalk. The pathname is relative to the DSpace configuration directory, i.e. the config
subdirectory of the DSpace install directory. Example from the _dspace.cfg
_ file:
Properties: | Code Block |
| ||
Example Values: | Code Block |
| ||
Informational Note: | This defines a crosswalk named MODS | <ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="adf51c0f-22f8-416f-9a04-91a6c2315ef5"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[ | Informational Note: | This defines a crosswalk named MODS whose configuration comes from the file |
The MODS crosswalk properties file is a list of properties describing how DSpace metadata elements are to be turned into elements of the MODS XML output document. The property name is a concatenation of the metadata schema, element name, and optionally the qualifier. For example, the contributor.author element in the native Dublin Core schema would be: dc.contributor.author. The value of the property is a line containing two segments separated by the vertical bar ("|
"_): The first part is an XML fragment which is copied into the output document. The second is an XPath expression describing where in that fragment to put the value of the metadata element. For example, in this property:
Code Block |
---|
dc.contributor.author = <mods:name> <mods:role> <mods:roleTerm type="text">author</mods:roleTerm> </mods:role> <mods:namePart>%s</mods:namePart> </mods:name> |
Some of the examples include the string "%s
" in the prototype XML where the text value is to be inserted, but don't pay any attention to it, it is an artifact that the crosswalk ignores. For example, given an author named Jack Florey, the crosswalk will insert

The default settings in the dspace.cfg
file for submission crosswalk:

Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Configuration XSLT-driven submission crosswalk for MODS |
As shown above, there are three (3) parts that make up the properties "key":
Code Block |
---|
crosswalk.submissionPluginName.stylesheet = 1 2 3 4 |
...
_crosswalk
_ first part of the property key._submission
_ second part of the property key.\__PluginName__ is the name of the plugin. The _path_ value is the path to the file containing the crosswalk stylesheet (relative to _/\[dspace\]/config_).
Here is an example that configures a crosswalk named "LOM" using a stylesheet in _\[dspace\
PluginName
is the name of the plugin. The path value is the path to the file containing the crosswalk stylesheet (relative to /[dspace]/config
).
Here is an example that configures a crosswalk named "LOM" using a stylesheet in [dspace]/config/crosswalks/d-lom.xsl
_:
...
...
crosswalk.submission.LOM.stylesheet
...
=
...
crosswalks/d-lom.xsl
A dissemination crosswalk can be configured by starting with the property key crosswalk.dissemination. Example:
...
...
crosswalk.dissemination.PluginName.stylesheet
...
=
...
path
...
unmigrated-wiki-markup
The _PluginName_ is the name of the plugin (!) . The _path_ value is the path to the file containing the crosswalk stylesheet (relative to _/
\[dspace
\]/config
_).
You can make two different plugin names point to the same crosswalk, by adding two configuration entries with the same path:
Code Block |
---|
crosswalk.submission.MyFormat.stylesheet = crosswalks/myformat.xslt
crosswalk.submission.almost_DC.stylesheet = crosswalks/myformat.xslt |
The dissemination crosswalk must also be configured with an XML Namespace (including prefix and URI) and an XML schema for its output format. This is configured on additional properties in the DSpace configuration:
Code Block |
---|
crosswalk.dissemination.PluginName.namespace.Prefix = namespace-URI
crosswalk.dissemination.PluginName.schemaLocation = schemaLocation value |
For example:
Code Block |
---|
crosswalk.dissemination.qdc.namespace.dc = http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
crosswalk.dissemination.qdc.namespace.dcterms = http://purl.org/dc/terms/
crosswalk.dissemination.qdc.schemalocation = http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ \
http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2003/04/02/qualifieddc.xsd |
...
where plugin is the name of the crosswalk plugin to test (e.g. "LOM"), and input-file is a file containing an XML document of metadata in the appropriate format.
Add the -l
option to pass the ingestion crosswalk a list of elements instead of a whole document, as if the List form of the ingest() method had been called. This is needed to test ingesters for formats like DC that get called with lists of elements instead of a root element.
...
The QDC crosswalk is a self-named plugin. To configure an instance of the QDC crosswalk, add a property to the DSpace configuration starting with "crosswalk.qdc.properties.
"; the final word of the property name becomes the plugin's name. For example, a property name crosswalk.qdc.properties.QDC
defines a crosswalk plugin named "QDC
".

In the property key " In the property key "_ Wiki Markup crosswalk.qdc.properties.QDC
_" the value of this property is a path to a separate properties file containing the configuration for this crosswalk. The pathname is relative to the DSpace configuration directory __/
\[dspace
\]/config
{_}_ . Referring back to the "Example Value" for this property key, one has \_crosswalks/qdc.properties
_ which defines a crosswalk named _QDC
_ whose configuration comes from the file _\[dspace
\]/config/crosswalks/qdc.properties
_ .
You will also need to configure the namespaces and schema location strings for the XML output generated by this crosswalk. The namespaces properties names are formatted:
crosswalk.qdc.namespace
.prefix = uri
where prefix is the namespace prefix and uri is the namespace URI. See the above Property and Example Value keys as the default dspace.cfg has been configured.
The QDC crosswalk properties file is a list of properties describing how DSpace metadata elements are to be turned into elements of the Qualified DC XML output document. The property name is a concatenation of the metadata schema, element name, and optionally the qualifier. For example, the contributor.author
element in the native Dublin Core schema would be: dc.contributor.author
. The value of the property is an XML fragment, the element whose value will be set to the value of the metadata field in the property key.
For example, in this property:
_ dc.coverage.temporal = <dcterms:temporal />
_
the generated XML in the output document would look like, e.g.:
...
...
<dcterms:temporal>Fall,
...
2005</dcterms:temporal>
Configuring Crosswalk Plugins
Ingestion crosswalk plugins are configured as named or self-named plugins for the interface org.dspace.content.crosswalk.IngestionCrosswalk
. Dissemination crosswalk plugins are configured as named or self-named plugins for the interface org.dspace.content.crosswalk.DisseminationCrosswalk
.
You can add names for existing crosswalks, add new plugin classes, and add new configurations for the configurable crosswalks as noted below.
...
Package ingester plugins are configured as named or self-named plugins for the interface org.dspace.content.packager.PackageIngester
. Package disseminator plugins are configured as named or self-named plugins for the interface org.dspace.content.packager.PackageDisseminator
.
You can add names for the existing plugins, and add new plugins, by altering these configuration properties. See the Plugin Manager architecture for more information about plugins.

DSpace embargoes utilize standard metadata fields to hold both the 'terms' and the 'lift date'. Which fields you use are configurable, and no specific metadata element is dedicated or predefined for use in embargo. Rather, you specify exactly what field you want the embargo system to examine when it needs to find the terms or assign the lift date.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Embargo terms will be stored in the item metadata. This property determines in which metadata field these terms will be stored. An example could be dc.embargo.terms |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | The Embargo lift date will be stored in the item metadata. This property determines in which metadata field the computed embargo lift date will be stored. You may need to create a DC metadata field in your Metadata Format Registry if it does not already exist. An example could be dc.embargo.liftdate |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | You can determine your own values for the embargo.field.terms property (see above). This property determines what the string value will be for indefinite embargos. The string in terms field to indicate indefinite embargo. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | To implement the business logic to set your embargos, you need to override the EmbargoSetter class. If you use the value DefaultEmbargoSetter, the default implementation will be used. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | To implement the business logic to lift your embargos, you need to override the EmbargoLifter class. If you use the value DefaultEmbargoLifter, the default implementation will be used. |
...
After the fields defined for terms and lift date have been assigned in dspace.cfg, and created and configured wherever they will be used, you can begin to embargo items simply by entering data (dates, if using the default setter) in the terms field. They will automatically be embargoed as they exit workflow. For the embargo to be lifted on any item, however, a new administrative procedure must be added: the 'embargo lifter' must be invoked on a regular basis. This task examines all embargoed items, and if their 'lift date' has passed, it removes the access restrictions on the item. Good practice dictates automating this procedure using cron jobs or the like, rather than manually running it. The lifter is available as a target of the 1.6 DSpace launcher: see Section 8..
Extending Embargo Functionality
The 1.6 Embargo system supplies a default 'interpreter/imposition' class (the 'Setter') as well as a 'Lifter', but they are fairly rudimentary in several aspects.
- Setter. The default setter recognizes only two expressions of terms: either a literal, non-relative date in the fixed format 'yyyy-mm-dd' (known as ISO 8601), or a special string used for open-ended embargo (the default configured value for this is 'forever', but this can be changed in dspace.cfg to 'toujours', 'unendlich', etc). It will perform a minimal sanity check that the date is not in the past. Similarly, the default setter will only remove all read policies as noted above, rather than applying more nuanced rules (e.g allow access to certain IP groups, deny the rest). Fortunately, the setter class itself is configurable and you can 'plug in' any behavior you like, provided it is written in java and conforms to the setter interface. The dspace.cfg property:
controls which setter to use.Code Block # implementation of embargo setter plugin - replace with local implementation if applicable plugin.single.org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoSetter = org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoSetter
- Lifter.The default lifter behavior as described above‚Äîessentially above‚ essentially applying the collection policy rules to the item‚Äîmight item‚ might also not be sufficient for all purposes. It also can be replaced with another class:
Code Block # implementation of embargo lifter plugin--replace with local implementation if applicable plugin.single.org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoLifter = org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoLifter
...
Step-by-Step Setup Examples
- Simple Dates.If you want to enter simple calendar dates for when an embargo will expire, follow these steps.
- Select a metadata field. Let's use dc.description.embargo. This field does not exist in in the default DSpace metadata directory, so login as an administrator, go the metadata registry page, select the 'dc' schema, then add the metadata field.unmigrated-wiki-markup
- Expose the metadata field. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/input-forms.xml_ . If you have only one form‚Äîusually form‚ usually 'traditional', add it there. If you have multiple forms, add it only to the forms linked to collections for which embargo applies:
Note: if you want to require embargo terms for every item, put a phrase in the <required> element. Example:<required>You must enter an embargo date</required>Code Block <form name="traditional"> <page number="1"> …... <field> <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema> <dc-element>description</dc-element> <dc-qualifier>embargo</dc-qualifier> <repeatable>false</repeatable> <label>Embargo Date</label> <input-type>onebox</input-type> <hint>If required, enter date 'yyyy-mm-dd' when embargo expires or 'forever'.</hint> <required></required> </field>
Configure Embargo. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/dspace.cfg_. Find the Embargo properties and set these two:Wiki Markup Code Block # DC metadata field to hold the user-supplied embargo terms embargo.field.terms = dc.description.embargo # DC metadata field to hold computed "lift date" of embargo embargo.field.lift = dc.description.embargo
- Restart DSpace application. This will pick up these changes. Now just enter future dates (if applicable) in web submission and the items will be placed under embargo. You can enter years ('2020'), years and months ('2020-12'), or also days ('2020-12-15').unmigrated-wiki-markup
- Periodically run the lifter. Run the task:_\[dspace\]/bin/dspace embargo-lifter_You will want to run this task in a cron-scheduled or other repeating way. Item embargoes will be lifted as their dates pass.
- Period Sets. If you wish to use a fixed set of time periods (e.g. 90 days, 6 months and 1 year) as embargo terms, follow these steps, which involve using a custom 'setter'.
- Select two metadata fields. Let's use 'dc.embargo.terms' and 'dc.embargo.lift'. These fields do not exist in the default DSpace metadata registry. Login as an administrator, go the metadata registry page, select the 'dc' schema, then add the metadata fields.unmigrated-wiki-markup
- Expose the 'term' metadata field. The lift field will be assigned by the embargo system, so it should not be exposed directly. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/input-forms.xml_ . If you have only one form (usually 'traditional') add it there. If you have multiple forms, add it only to the form(s) linked to collection(s) for which embargo applies. First, add the new field to the 'form definition':
Note: If you want to require embargo terms for every item, put a phrase in the <required> element, e.g._<required>You must select embargo terms</required>_Observe that we have referenced a new value-pair list: "embargo_terms'. We must now define that as well (only once even if references by multiple forms):Code Block <form name="traditional"> <page number="1"> …... <field> <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema> <dc-element>embargo</dc-element> <dc-qualifier>terms</dc-qualifier> <repeatable>false</repeatable> <label>Embargo Terms</label> <input-type value-pairs-name="embargo_terms">dropdown</input-type> <hint>If required, select embargo terms.</hint> <required></required> </field>
Note: if desired, you could localize the language of the displayed value.Code Block <form-value-pairs> …... <value-pairs value-pairs-name="embargo_terms" dc-term="embargo.terms"> <pair> <displayed-value>90 days</displayed-value> <stored-value>90 days</stored-value> </pair> <pair> <displayed-value>6 months</displayed-value> <stored-value>6 months</stored-value> </pair> <pair> <displayed-value>1 year</displayed-value> <stored-value>1 year</stored-value> </pair> </value-pairs>
- Configure Embargo. Edit /dspace/config/dspace.cfg. Find the Embargo properties and set the following properties:
Code Block # DC metadata field to hold the user-supplied embargo terms embargo.field.terms = dc.embargo.terms # DC metadata field to hold computed "lift date" of embargo embargo.field.lift = dc.embargo.lift # implementation of embargo setter plugin - replace with local implementation if applicable plugin.single.org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoSetter = org.dspace.embargo.DayTableEmbargoSetter
Now add a new property called 'embargo.terms.days' as follows:
Code Block |
---|
...
# DC metadata field to hold computed "lift date" of embargo
embargo.terms.days = 90 days:90, 6 months:180, 1 year:365 |
- This step is the same as Step A.4 above, except that instead of entering a date, the submitter will select a value form a drop-down list.
Periodically run the lifter. Run the task:_\Wiki Markup [dspace
\]/bin/dspace
embargo-lifter
_ .
You will want to run this task in a cron-scheduled or other repeating way. Item embargoes will be lifted as their dates pass.
Checksum Checker Settings
DSpace now comes with a Checksum Checker script (_\ Wiki Markup [dspace
\]/bin/dspace checker
_) which can be scheduled to verify the checksum of every item within DSpace. Since DSpace calculates and records the checksum of every file submitted to it, this script is able to determine whether or not a file has been changed (either manually or by some sort of corruption or virus). The idea being that the earlier you can identify a file has changed, the more likely you'd be able to recover it (assuming it was not a wanted change).
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | The Default dispatcher is case non is specified. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This option specifies the default time frame after which all checksum checks are removed from the database (defaults to 10 years). This means that after 10 years, all successful or unsuccessful matches are removed from the database. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This option specifies the time frame after which a successful “match” match will be removed from your DSpace database (defaults to 8 weeks). This means that after 8 weeks, all successful matches are automatically deleted from your database (in order to keep that database table from growing too large). |
...
It is possible for an authorized user to request a complete export and download of a DSpace item in a compressed zip file. This zip file may contain the following:
dublin_core.xmllicense.txtcontents xml
license.txt
contents (listing of the contents)_

Informational Note | The maximum size in Megabytes (Mb) that the export should be. This is enforced before the compression. Each bitstream's size in each item being exported is added up, if their cumulative sizes are more than this entry the export is not kicked off. |
...
DSpace, through some advanced installation and setup, is able to send out an email to collections that a user has subscribed. The user who is subscribed to a collection is emailed each time an item id added or modified. The following property key controls whether or not a user should be notified of a modification.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | For backwards compatibility, the subscription emails by default include any modified items. The property key is COMMENTED OUT by default. |
...
The following configurations allow the administrator extract from the DSpace database a set of records for editing by a metadata export. It provides an easier way of editing large collections.

Browse Index Configuration
The browse indexes for DSpace can be extensively configured. This section of the configuration allows you to take control of the indexes you wish to browse, and how you wish to present the results. The configuration is broken into several parts: defining the indexes, defining the fields upon which users can sort results, defining truncation for potentially long fields (e.g. authors), setting cross-links between different browse contexts (e.g. from an author's name to a complete list of their items), how many recent submissions to display, and configuration for item mapping browse.
Property: | |
Example Value: | _ {{webui.browse.index.1 = dateissued:metadata:dc.date.issued:date:full _ }} |
Informational Note: | This is an example of how one "Defines the Indexes". See Defining the Indexes in the next sub-section. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This is an example of how one "Defines the Sort Options". See Defining Sort Options in the following sub-section. |
...
Code Block |
---|
webui.browse.index.1 = dateissued:metadata:dc.date.issued:date:full webui.browse.index.2 = author:metadata:dc.contributor.*:text webui.browse.index.3 = title:metadataitem:dc.title:title:full webui.browse.index.4 = subject:metadata:dc.subject.*:text #webui.browse.index.5 = dateaccessioned:item:dateaccessioned |
The format of each entry is webui.browse.index.<n> = <index name>:<metadata>:<schema prefix>.<element>.<qualifier>:<data-type field>:<sort option>
. Please notice that the punctuation is paramount in typing this property key in the dspace.cfg
file. The following table explains each element:
Element | Definition and Options (if available) |
---|---|
| n is the index number. The index numbers must start from 1 and increment continuously by 1 thereafter. Deviation form from this will cause an error during install or a configuration update. So anytime you add a new browse index, remember to increase the number. (Commented out index numbers may be used over again). |
| The name by which the index will be identified. You will need to update your Messages.properties file to match this field. (The form used in the Messages.properties file is: |
| Only two options are available: " |
| The schema used for the field to be index. The default is dc (for Dublin Core). |
| The schema element. In Dublin Core, for example, the author element is referred to as "Contributor". The user should consult the default Dublin Core Metadata Registry table in Appendix A. |
| This is the qualifier to the <element> component. The user has two choices: an asterisk "" or a proper qualifier of the element. The asterisk is a wildcard and causes DSpace to index all types of the schema element. For example, if you have the element "contributor" and the qualifier "" then you would index all contributor data regardless of the qualifier. Another example, you have the element "subject" and the qualifier "lcsh" would cause the indexing of only those fields that have the qualifier "lcsh". (This means you would only index Library of Congress Subject Headings and not all data elements that are subjects. |
| This refers to the datatype of the field: _ |
| Choose |
If you are customizing this list beyond the default, you will need to insert the text you wish to appear in the navigation and on link and buttons. You need to edit the Messages.properties
file. The form of the parameter(s) in the file:
...
...
browse.type.<index
...
name>
The title browse set as the default acts a little different than when you customize it. So, for example, if you wish to have more than the standard "title" appear in the title browse index, you would need to change your property to look like the others. In the example below, we've decided to not only index the title, but the series too.
webui.browse.index.3 = title:metadata:dc.title,dc.relation.ispartofseries:title:
full
webui.browse.index.3 = title:metadata:dc.title,dc.relation.ispartofseries:title:full
Defining Sort Options
Sort options will be available when browsing a list of items (i.e. only in "full" mode, not "single" mode). You can define an arbitrary number of fields to sort on, irrespective of which fields you display using web.itemlist.columns. For example, the default entries that appear in the dspace.cfg as default installation:
...
The format of each entry is _web.browse.sort-option.<n> = <option name>:<schema prefix>.<element>.<qualifier>:<datatype>
_. Please notice the punctuation used between the different elements. The following table explains the each element:
Element | Definition and Options (if available) |
---|---|
| n is an arbitrary number you choose. |
| The name by which the sort option will be identified. This may be used in later configuration or to locate the message key (found in Messages.properties file) for this index. |
| The schema used for the field to be index. The default is dc (for Dublin Core). |
| The schema element. In Dublin Core, for example, the author element is referred to as "Contributor". The user should consult the default Dublin Core Metadata Registry table in Appendix A. |
| This is the qualifier to the <element> component. The user has two choices: an asterisk "*" or a proper qualifier of the element. |
| This refers to the datatype of the field: _ |
...
Normalization Rules are those rules that make it possible for the indexes to intermix entries without regard to case sensitivity. By default, the display of metadata in the browse indexes are case-sensitive. In the example below, you retrieve separate entries:
Twain, Marktwain, markTWAIN, MARK
However, clicking through from either of these will result in the same set of items (i.e., any item that contains either representation in the correct field).
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This controls the normalization of the index entry. Uncommenting the option (which is commented out by default) will make the metadata items case-insensitive. This will result in a single entry in the example above. However, the value displayed may be any one of the above‚Äîdepending above‚ depending on what representation was present in the first item indexed. |
...
We set other browse values in the following section.
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | This sets the options for the size (number of characters) of the fields stored in the database. The default is 0, which is unlimited size for fields holding indexed data. Some database implementations (e.g. Oracle) will enforce their own limit on this field size. Reducing the field size will decrease the potential size of your database and increase the speed of the browse, but it will also increase the chance of mis-ordering of similar fields. The values are commented out, but proposed values for reasonably performance versus result quality. This affects the size of field for the browse value (this will affect display, and value sorting ) | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Size of field for hidden sort columns (this will affect only sorting, not display). Commented out as default. | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: | | ||
Informational Note: | Omission mark to be placed after truncated strings in display. The default is "...". | ||
Property: | | ||
Example Value: |
| ||
Informational Note: | This sets the option for how the indexes are sorted. All sort normalizations are carried out by the OrderFormatDelegate. The plugin manager can be used to specify your own delegates for each datatype. The default datatypes (and delegates) are:
If you redefine a default datatype here, the configuration will be used in preferences to the default. However, if you do not explicitly redefine a datatype, then the default will still be used in addition to the datatypes you do specify. As of DSpace release 1.5.2, the multi-lingual MARC21 title ordering is configured as default, as shown in the example above. To use the previous title ordering (before release 1.5.2), comment out the configuration in your dspace.cfg file. |
Browse Index Authority Control Configuration
Property: |
|
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Yet to be written. |
Author (Multiple metadata value) Display
This section actually applies to any field with multiple values, but authors are the define case and example here.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This defines which field is the author/editor, etc. listing. |
Replace dc.contributor.*
with another field if appropriate. The field should be listed in the configuration for webui.itemlist.columns
, otherwise you will not see its effect. It must also be defined in webui.itemlist.columns
as being of the datatype text otherwise the functionality will be overridden by the specific data type feature. (This setting is not used by the XMLUI as it is controlled by your theme).
Now that we know which field is our author or other multiple metadata value field we can provide the option to truncate the number of values displayed by default. We replace the remaining list of values with "et al" or the language pack specific alternative. Note that this is just for the default, and users will have the option of changing the number displayed when they browse the results. See the following table:
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Where |
...
We can define which fields link to other browse listings. This is useful, for example, to link an author's name to a list of just that author's items. The effect this has is to create links to browse views for the item clicked on. If it is a "single" type, it will link to a view of all the items which share that metadata element in common (i.e. all the papers by a single author). If it is a "full" type, it will link to a view of the standard full browse page, starting with the value of the link clicked on.
Property: |
|
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | This is used to configure which fields should link to other browse listings. This should be associated with the name of one of the browse indexes ( |
The format of the property key is webui.browse.link.<n> = <index name>:<display column metadata> Please notice the punctuation used between the elements.

The following configuration is used to change the disposition behavior of the browser. That is, when the browser will attempt to open the file or download it to the user's -specified location. For example, the default size is 8Mb8MB. When an item being viewed is larger than 8MB, the browser will download the file to the desktop (or wherever you have it set to download) and the user will have to open it manually.

Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | When serving up composite HTML items in the JSP UI, how deep can the request be for us to serve up a file with the same name? For example, if one receives a request for "foo/bar/index.html" and one has a bitstream called just "index.html", DSpace will serve up the former bitstream (foo/bar/index.html) for the request if webui.html.max-depth-guess is 2 or greater. If webui.html.max-depth-guess is 1 or less, then DSpace would not serve that bitstream, as the depth of the file is greater. If webui.html.max-depth-guess is zero, the request filename and path must always exactly match the bitstream name. The default is set to 3. |

Informational Note: | When using "resolver" in webui.itemdisplay to render identifiers as resolvable links, the base URL is take from <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> where <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> matches the urn specified in the metadata value. The value is appended to the "baseurl" as is, so the baseurl needs to end with the forward slash almost in any case. If no urn is specified in the value it will be displayed as simple text. For the doi and hdl urn defaults values are provided, respectively http://dc.doi.org and http://hdl.handle.net are used. If a metadata value with style "doi", "handle" or "resolver" matches a URL already, it is simply rendered as a link with no other manipulation. | |||

Informational Note: | You can customize the width of each column with the following line—you line--you can have numbers (pixels) or percentages. For the 'thumbnail' column, a setting of '*' will use the max width specified for browse thumbnails (cf. | |||
Property: |
| |||
Example Value: | __ }} | |||
Informational Note: | You can override the DC fields used on the listing page for a given browse index and/or sort option. As a sort option or index may be defined on a field that isn't normally included in the list, this allows you to display the fields that have been indexed/sorted on. There are a number of forms the configuration can take, and the order in which they are listed below is the priority in which they will be used (so a combination of an index name and sort name will take precedence over just the browse name).In the last case, a sort option name will always take precedence over a browse index name. Note also, that for any additional columns you list, you will need to ensure there is an itemlist.<field name> entry in the messages file. | |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | This would display the date of the accession in place f of the issue date whenever the dateaccessioned browsed index or sort option is selected. Just like webui.itemlist.columns, you will need to include a 'thumbnail' entry to display the thumbnails in the item list. | |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | As in the aforementioned property key, you can customize the width of the columns for each configured column list, substituting '.widths' for '.columns' in the property name. See the setting for _webui.itemlist.widths_ for more information. | |||
Property: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | You can also set the overall size of the item list table with the following setting. It can lead to faster table rendering when used with the column widths above, but not generally recommended. | |||

JSPUI Item Mapper
Because the item mapper requires a primitive implementation of the browse system to be present, we simply need to tell that system which of our indexes defines the author browse (or equivalent) so that the mapper can list authors' items for mapping
Define the index name (from webui.browse.index) to use for displaying items by author.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | If you change the name of your author browse field, you will also need to update this property key. |
...
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
| |
Informational Note: | SFX query is appended to this URL. If this property is commented out or omitted, SFX support is switched off. |
...
All the parameters mapping are defined in {{\[
}}{{{}dspace
{}}}{{\]
}}{{/config/sfx.xml
}} file. The program will check the parameters in {{sfx.xml
}} and retrieve the correct metadata of the item. It will then parse the string to your resolver.
For the following example, the program will search the first query-pair which is DOI of the item. If there is a DOI for that item, your retrieval results will be, for example:
http://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/5763
Example. For setting DOI in sfx.xml
Code Block |
---|
<query-pairs>
<field>
<querystring>rft_id=info:doi/</querystring>
<dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
<dc-element>identifier</dc-element>
<dc-qualifier>doi</dc-qualifier>
</field>
</query-pairs> |
...
If there is no DOI for that item, it will search next query-pair based on the {{\[dspace
\]/config/sfx.xml
}} and then so on.
Example of using ISSN, volume, issue for item without DOI
{{\ Wiki Markup [http://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/4947
\]
}}
For parameter passing to the <querystring>
Code Block |
---|
<querystring>rft_id=info:doi/</querystring> |
...
Please refer to these:
{{\[http://ocoins.info/cobgbook.html
\]}}
{{\]
[http://ocoins.info/cobg.html
\]
}}
Program assume won't won’t get empty string for the item, as there will at least author, title for the item to pass to the resolver.
For contributor author, program maintains original DSpace SFX function of extracting author's author‘s first and last name.
Code Block |

Controlled Vocabulary Settings
DSpace now supports controlled vocabularies to confine the set of keywords that users can use while describing items.
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Enable or disable the controlled vocabulary add-on. WARNING: This feature is not compatible with WAI (it requires javascript JavaScript to function). |
The need for a limited set of keywords is important since it eliminates the ambiguity of a free description system, consequently simplifying the task of finding specific items of information.
...
Code Block |
---|
<node id="acmccs98" label="ACMCCS98"> <isComposedBy> <node id="A." label="General Literature"> <isComposedBy> <node id="A.0" label="GENERAL"/> <node id="A.1" label="INTRODUCTORY AND SURVEY"/> </isComposedBy> </node> </isComposedBy> </node> |
Your You are free to use any application you want to create your controlled vocabularies. A simple text editor should be enough for small projects. Bigger projects will require more complex tools. You may use Proteg√© Protegé to create your taxonomies, save them as OWL and then use a XML Stylesheet (XSLT) to transform your documents to the appropriate format. Future enhancements to this add-on should make it compatible with standard schemas such as OWL or RDF.
In order to make DSpace compatible with WAI 2.0, the add-on is turned off by default (the add-on relies strongly on Javascript JavaScript to function). It can be activated by setting the following property in dspace.cfg
:
webui.controlledvocabulary.enable = true
unmigrated-wiki-markup
New vocabularies should be placed in _\[dspace
\]/config/controlled-vocabularies/
_ and must be according to the structure described. A validation XML Schema can be downloaded [here|Schema (controlledvocabulary.xsd|here].) can be found in that directory.
Vocabularies need to be associated with the correspondent DC metadata fields. Edit the file [dspace
Vocabularies need to be associated with the correspondent DC metadata fields. Edit the file _\[dspace\ Wiki Markup ]/config/input-forms.xml
_ and place a _"vocabulary"_ tag under the _"field"_ element that you want to control. Set value of the _"vocabulary"_ element to the name of the file that contains the vocabulary, leaving out the extension (the add-on will only load files with extension "*.xml"). For example:
Code Block |
---|
<field> <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema> <dc-element>subject</dc-element> <dc-qualifier></dc-qualifier> <!-- An input-type of twobox MUST be marked as repeatable --> <repeatable>true</repeatable> <label>Subject Keywords</label> <input-type>twobox</input-type> <hint> Enter appropriate subject keywords or phrases below. </hint> <required></required> <vocabulary [closed="false"]>nsi</vocabulary> </field> |

3. JSPUI Session Invalidation
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Enable or disable session invalidation upon login or logout. This feature is enabled by default to help prevent session hijacking but may cause problems for shibboleth, etc. If omitted, the default value is 'true'. |
...
The DSpace digital repository supports two user interfaces: one based upon JSP technologies and the other based upon the Apache Cocoon framework. This section describes those configurations settings which are specific to the XMLUI interface based upon the Cocoon framework. (Prior to DSpace Release 1.5.1 XMLUI was referred to Manakin. You may still see references to "Manakin")
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | A list of supported locales for Manakin. Manakin will look at a user's browser configuration for the first language that appears in this list to make available to in the interface. This parameter is a comma separated list of Locales. All types of Locales country, country_language, country_language_variant. Note that if the appropriate files are not present (i.e. Messages_XX_XX.xml) then Manakin will fall back through to a more general language. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Force all authenticated connections to use SSL, only non-authenticated connections are allowed over plain http. If set to true, then you need to ensure that the 'dspace.hostname' parameter is set to the correctly. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Determine if new users should be allowed to register. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disallow registration because Shibboleth will automatically register the user. Default value is true. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Determines if users should be able to edit their own metadata. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disable the user's ability to edit their metadata because it came from Shibboleth. Default value is true. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Determine if super administrators (those whom are in the Administrators group) can login as another user from the "edit eperson" page. This is useful for debugging problems in a running dspace instance, especially in the workflow process. The default value is false, i.e., no one may assume the login of another user. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | After a user has logged into the system, which url should they be directed? Leave this parameter blank or undefined to direct users to the homepage, or /profile for the user's profile, or another reasonable choice is /submissions to see if the user has any tasks awaiting their attention. The default is the repository home page. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Allow the user to override which theme is used to display a particular page. When submitting a request add the HTTP parameter "themepath" which corresponds to a particular theme, that specified theme will be used instead of the any other configured theme. Note that this is a potential security hole allowing execution of unintended code on the server, this option is only for development and debugging it should be turned off for any production repository. The default value unless otherwise specified is "false". |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Determine which bundles administrators and collection administrators may upload into an existing item through the administrative interface. If the user does not have the appropriate privileges (add and write) on the bundle then that bundle will not be shown to the user as an option. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | On the community-list page should all the metadata about a community/collection be available to the theme. This parameter defaults to true, but if you are experiencing performance problems on the community-list page you should experiment with turning this option off. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Normally, Manakin will fully verify any cache pages before using a cache copy. This means that when the community-list page is viewed the database is queried for each community/collection to see if their metadata has been modified. This can be expensive for repositories with a large community tree. To help solve this problem you can set the cache to be assumed valued for a specific set of time. The downside of this is that new or editing communities/collections may not show up the website for a period of time. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The MODS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named MODS.xml. If this option is set to 'true' and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The METS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named METS.xml. If this option is set to "true" and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | If you would like to use Google analytics Analytics to track general website statistics then use the following parameter to provide your analytics key. First sign up for an account at http://analytics.google.com, then create an entry for your repositories website. Google Analytics will give you a snippet of javascript code to place on your site, inside that snip it is your google analytics Google Analytics key usually found in the line: _uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X" Take this key (just the UA-XXXXXX-X part) and place it here in this parameter. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Assign how many page views will be recorded and displayed in the control panel's activity viewer. The activity tab allows an administrator to debug problems in a running DSpace by understanding who and how their dspace is currently being used. The default value is 250. |
Property: | |
Example Value: | |
Informational Note: | Determine where the control panel's activity viewer receives an events IP address from. If your DSpace is in a load balanced environment or otherwise behind a context-switch then you will need to set the parameter to the HTTP parameter that records the original IP address. |

- mods - MODS metadata, produced by the table-driven MODS dissemination crosswalk.
- qdc - Qualified Dublin Core, produced by the configurable QDC crosswalk. Note that this QDC does not include all of the DSpace "dublin core" metadata fields, since the XML standard for QDC is defined for a different set of elements and qualifiers.
OAI-PMH crosswalks based on Crosswalk Plugins are activated as follows:
- Ensure the crosswalk plugin has a lower-case name (possibly in addition to its upper-case name) in the plugin configuration.
- Add a line to the file config/templates/Uncomment the appropriate
[dspace]/config/oaicat.properties
of the form:Crosswalks.plugin_name=org.dspace.app.oai.PluginCrosswalk
substituting the (whereplugin_name

These lines are all near the bottom of the file.- You can also add a brand new custom crosswalk plugin. Just make sure that the crosswalk plugin has a lower-case name (possibly in addition to its upper-case name) in the plugin configuration in

DIDL
By activating the DIDL provider, DSpace items are represented as MPEG-21 DIDL objects. These DIDL objects are XML documents that wrap both the Dublin Core metadata that describes the DSpace item and its actual bitstreams. A bitstream is provided inline in the DIDL object in a base64 encoded manner, and/or by means of a pointer to the bitstream. The data provider exposes DIDL objects via the metadataPrefix didl.

The DIDL Crosswalk can be activated as follows:
- Uncomment the
oai.didl.maxresponse
item configuration indspace.cfg
- Uncomment the DIDL Crosswalk entry from the

OAI-ORE Harvester Configuration
...
There are many possible configuration options for the OAI harvester. Most of them are technical and therefore omitted from the dspace.cfg file itself, using hard-coded defaults instead. However, should you wish to modify those values, including them in dspace.cfg will override the system defaults.

The Metadata Format and Bitstream Format Registries
...
The _\[dspace\]/config/registries_ directory contains three XML files. These are used to load the _initial_ contents of the Dublin Core Metadata registry and Bitstream Format registry and SWORD metadata registry. After the initial loading (performed by _ant fresh_install_ above), the registries reside in the database; the XML files are not updated.
In order to change the registries, you may adjust the XML files before the first installation of DSpace. On an already running instance it is recommended to change bitstream registries via DSpace admin UI, but the metadata registries can be loaded again at any time from the XML files without difficult. The changes made via admin UI are not reflected in the XML files.
...
Bitstream Format Registry
...
The bitstream formats recognized by the system and levels of support are similarly stored in the bitstream format registry. This can also be edited at install-time via _\[dspace\]/config/registries/bitstream-formats.xml_ or by the administration Web UI. The contents of the bitstream format registry are entirely up to you, though the system requires that the following two formats are present:
- Unknown
- License
Deleting a format will cause any existing bitstreams of this format to be reverted to the unknown bitstream format.
...
- pdfinfo - displays properties and Info dict
- pdftotext - extracts text from PDF
- pdftoppm - images PDF for thumbnails
Fetch and install jai_imageio JAR
Fetch and install the Java‚Ñ¢ Java Advanced Imaging Image I/O Tools.
...
Download the jai_imageio library version 1.0_01 or 1.1 found at: https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html#Stable_builds .
For these filters you do NOT have to worry about the native code, just the JAR, so choose a download for any platform.
...
The preceding example leaves the JAR in jai_imageio-1_1/lib/jai_imageio.jar . Now install it in your local Maven repository, e.g.: (changing the path after file= if necessary)
Code Block |
---|
mvn install:install-file mvn install:install-file \ -Dfile=jai_imageio-1_1/lib/jai_imageio.jar \ -DgroupId=com.sun.media \ -DartifactId=jai_imageio \ -Dversion=1.0_01 \ -Dpackaging=jar \ -DgeneratePom=true |
...
First, be sure there is a value for thumbnail.maxwidth and that it corresponds to the size you want for preview images for the UI, e.g.: (NOTE: this code doesn't pay any attention to thumbnail.maxheight but it's best to set it too so the other thumbnail filters make square images.)
Code Block |
---|
# maximum width and height of generated thumbnails
thumbnail.maxwidth= 80
thumbnail.maxheight = 80 |
Now, add the absolute paths to the XPDF tools you installed. In this example they are installed under /usr/local/bin (a logical place on Linux and MacOSX), but they may be anywhere.
Code Block |
---|
xpdf.path.pdftotext = /usr/local/bin/pdftotext
xpdf.path.pdftoppm = /usr/local/bin/pdftoppm
xpdf.path.pdfinfo = /usr/local/bin/pdfinfo |
Change the MediaFilter plugin configuration to remove the old org.dspace.app.mediafilter.PDFFilter and add the new filters, e.g: (New sections are in bold)
Code Block |
---|
filter.plugins = \ PDF Text Extractor, \ PDF Thumbnail, \ HTML Text Extractor, \ Word Text Extractor, \ JPEG Thumbnail plugin.named.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.FormatFilter = \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.XPDF2Text = PDF Text Extractor, \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.XPDF2Thumbnail = PDF Thumbnail, \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.HTMLFilter = HTML Text Extractor, \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.WordFilter = Word Text Extractor, \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.JPEGFilter = JPEG Thumbnail, \ org.dspace.app.mediafilter.BrandedPreviewJPEGFilter = Branded Preview JPEG |
Then add the input format configuration properties for each of the new filters, e.g.:
...
Finally, if you want PDF thumbnail images, don't forget to add that filter name to the filter.plugins property, e.g.:
Code Block |
---|
filter.plugins = PDF Thumbnail, PDF Text Extractor, ... |
Build and Install
Follow your usual DSpace installation/update procedure, only add -Pxpdf-mediafilter-support to the Maven invocation:
Code Block |
---|
mvn -Pxpdf-mediafilter-support package ant -Dconfig=etc. ...\[dspace\]/config/dspace.cfg update |
Creating a new Media/Format Filter
...
New Media Filters must implement the org.dspace.app.mediafilter.FormatFilter interface. More information on the methods you need to implement is provided in the FormatFilter.java source file. For example:
_ public class MySimpleMediaFilter implements FormatFilter
_
Alternatively, you could extend the org.dspace.app.mediafilter.MediaFilter class, which just defaults to performing no pre/post-processing of bitstreams before or after filtering.
public class MySimpleMediaFilter extends MediaFilter
You must give your new filter a "name", by adding it and its name to the plugin.named.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.FormatFilter field in dspace.cfg. In addition to naming your filter, make sure to specify its input formats in the filter.<class path>.inputFormats config item. Note the input formats must match the short description field in the Bitstream Format Registry (i.e. bitstreamformatregistry table).
...
If you have a more complex Media/Format Filter, which actually performs multiple filtering or conversions for different formats (e.g. conversion from Word to PDF and conversion from Excel to CSV), you should have define a class which implements the FormatFilter interface, while also extending the Chapter 13.3.2.2 SelfNamedPlugin class. For example:
public class MyComplexMediaFilter extends SelfNamedPlugin implements FormatFilter
Since SelfNamedPlugins are self-named (as stated), they must provide the various names the plugin uses by defining a getPluginNames() method. Generally speaking, each "name" the plugin uses should correspond to a different type of filter it implements (e.g. "Word2PDF" and "Excel2CSV" are two good names for a complex media filter which performs both Word to PDF and Excel to CSV conversions).
...
As shown above, each Self-Named Filter class must be listed in the plugin.selfnamed.org.dspace.app.mediafilter.FormatFilter
item in dspace.cfg
. In addition, each Self-Named Filter must define the input formats for each named plugin defined by that filter. In the above example the MyComplexMediaFilter class is assumed to have defined two named plugins, Word2PDF
and Excel2CSV
. So, these two valid plugin names ("Word2PDF" and "Excel2CSV") must be returned by the getPluginNames()
method of the MyComplexMediaFilter
class.
These named plugins take different input formats as defined above (see the corresponding inputFormats setting).
Note |
---|
If you neglect to define the |
For a particular Self-Named Filter, you are also welcome to define additional configuration settings in dspace.cfg. To continue with our current example, each of our imaginary plugins actually results in a different output format (Word2PDF creates "Adobe PDF", while Excel2CSV creates "Comma Separated Values"). To allow this complex Media Filter to be even more configurable (especially across institutions, with potential different "Bitstream Format Registries"), you may wish to allow for the output format to be customizable for each named plugin. For example:
...
Code Block |
---|
#Get "outputFormat" configuration from dspace.cfg
String outputFormat = ConfigurationManager.getProperty(MediaFilterManager.FILTER_PREFIX + "." + MyComplexMediaFilter.class.getName() + "." + this.getPluginInstanceName() + ".outputFormat"); |
Configuration Files for Other Applications
To ease the hassle of keeping configuration files for other applications involved in running a DSpace site, for example Apache, in sync, the DSpace system can automatically update them for you when the main DSpace configuration is changed. This feature of the DSpace system is entirely optional, but we found it useful.
Wiki Markup |
---|
The way this is done is by placing the configuration files for those applications in _\[dspace\]/config/templates_, and inserting special values in the configuration file that will be filled out with appropriate DSpace configuration properties. Then, tell DSpace where to put filled-out, 'live' version of the configuration by adding an appropriate property to _dspace.cfg_, and run _\[dspace\]/bin/install-configs_. |
Take the apache13.conf file as an example. This contains plenty of Apache-specific stuff, but where it uses a value that should be kept in sync across DSpace and associated applications, a 'placeholder' value is written. For example, the host name:
ServerName @@dspace.hostname@@
The text @@dspace.hostname@@ will be filled out with the value of the dspace.hostname property in dspace.cfg. Then we decide where we want the 'live' version, that is, the version actually read in by Apache when it starts up, will go.
Let's say we want the live version to be located at /opt/apache/conf/dspace-httpd.conf. To do this, we add the following property to dspace.cfg so DSpace knows where to put it:
Code Block |
---|
config.template.apache13.conf = /opt/apache/conf/dspace-httpd.conf |
Wiki Markup |
---|
Now, we run _\[dspace\]/bin/install-configs_. This reads in _\[dspace\]/config/templates/apache13.conf_, and places a copy at _/opt/apache/conf/dspace-httpd.conf_ with the placeholders filled out. |
So, in /opt/apache/conf/dspace-httpd.conf, there will be a line like:
ServerName dspace.myu.edu
The advantage of this approach is that if a property like the hostname changes, you can just change it in dspace.cfg and run install-configs, and all of your tools' configuration files will be updated.

Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | Define the stylesheet which will be used by the self-named XSLTIngestionCrosswalk class when asked to load the SWORD configuration (as specified above). This will use the specified stylesheet to crosswalk the incoming SWAP metadata to the DIM format for ingestion. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | _ | |||
Informational Note: | The base URL of the SWORD deposit. This is the URL from which DSpace will construct the deposit location urls URLs for collections. The default is {dspace.urlbaseUrl}/sword/deposit. In the event that you are not deploying DSpace as the ROOT application in the servlet container, this will generate incorrect URLs, and you should override the functionality by specifying in full as shown in the example value. | |||
Properties: | _ {{sword.servicedocument.url _ }} | |||
Example Value: | _ {{sword.servicedocument.url = http://www.myu.ac.uk/sword/servicedocument_ | |||
Informational Note: | The base URL of the SWORD service document. This is the URL from which DSpace will construct the service document location urls URLs for the site, and for individual collections. The default is {dspace.urlbaseUrl}/sword/servicedocument . In the event that you are not deploying DSpace as the ROOT application in the servlet container, this will generate incorrect URLs, and you should override the functionality by specifying in full as shown in the example value. | |||

Example Value: | _ | |||
Informational Note: | The base URL of the SWORD media links. This is the URL which DSpace will use to construct the media link urls URLs for items which are deposited via sword. The default is { | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | _ | |||
Informational Note: | The URL which identifies the sword software which provides the sword interface. This is the URL which DSpace will use to fill out the atom:generator element of its atom documents. The default is: {{[http://www.dspace.org/ns/sword/1.3.1_ | [http://www.dspace.org/ns/sword/1.3.1_]]}}. If you have modified your sword software, you should change this URI to identify your own version. If you are using the standard dspace-sword module you will not, in general, need to change this setting. | ||

Informational Note: | Collection Specific settings: these will be used on the collections with the given handles. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | Should the server offer up items in collections as sword deposit targets. This will be effected by placing a URI in the collection description which will list all the allowed items for the depositing user in that collection on request. NOTE: this will require an implementation of deposit onto items, which will not be forthcoming for a short while. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | Should the server offer as the default the list of all Communities to a Service Document request. If false, the server will offer the list of all collections, which is the default and recommended behavior at this stage. NOTE: a service document for Communities will not offer any viable deposit targets, and the client will need to request the list of Collections in the target before deposit can continue. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | The maximum upload size of a package through the sword interface, in bytes. This will be the combined size of all the files, the metadata and any manifest data. It is NOT the same as the maximum size set for an individual file upload through the user interface. If not set, or set to 0, the sword service will default to no limit. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | Whether or not DSpace should store a copy of the original sword deposit package. NOTE: this will cause the deposit process to run slightly slower, and will accelerate the rate at which the repository consumes disk space. BUT, it will also mean that the deposited packages are recoverable in their original form. It is strongly recommended, therefore, to leave this option turned on. When set to "true", this requires that the configuration option upload.temp.dir above is set to a valid location. | |||
Properties: | | |||
Example Value: | | |||
Informational Note: | The bundle name that SWORD should store incoming packages under if sword.keep-original-package is set to true. The default is "SWORD" if not value is set | |||
