Supported External Sources

DSpace supports importing metadata from a variety of online services.  Some of these services can ONLY support out-of-the-box Configurable Entities.

Supported online services are all configured on the backend in the [dspace]/config/spring/api/external-services.xml file.  To disable a service, simply comment it out in that file.

Online providers available out of the box include:

Disabling an External source

By default, DSpace has all external sources enabled in the [dspace]/config/spring/api/external-services.xml file.  However, because some external services may require a paid subscription , sites may wish to disable any external sources that they do not want to use.

To disable an external source, simply comment out its "<bean>" tag in the external-services.xml file.  Comment it out using XML comment tags (<!-- and -->). 

For example, this will disable the Scopus external service (which is one that requires a paid subscription):

<!--
<bean id="scopusLiveImportDataProvider" class="org.dspace.external.provider.impl.LiveImportDataProvider">
    <property name="metadataSource" ref="ScopusImportService"/>
    <property name="sourceIdentifier" value="scopus"/>
    <property name="recordIdMetadata" value="dc.identifier.scopus"/>
    <property name="supportedEntityTypes">
        <list>
            <value>Publication</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>
-->
