Several In the last years, there is a growing number of institutions in Germany that run DSpace installations, most of them are libraries. They all have common problems, g.e. automatic delivery of some items to the to deal with similar, German specific use cases, as for example to implement the automatic harvesting procedure of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library).

This page ( and it's its sub-pages ) are used the platform to coordinate their collaboration on common the collaboration of the German DSpace users concerning German specific problemsthemes.

DSpace-de is the mailing list of the German DSpace user community. If you have questions, tips or ideas dealing with problems specific for running a DSpace installation in Germany, the DSpace-de mailing list is the right one for you to use.

DSpace-tech

There is a German DSpace mailing list. If you have questions on how to use DSpace or how to resolve problems, please prefer if you have a general technical problem, it would be better to write to dspacethe mailing list DSpace-tech mailing list. Most probably, on DSpace-tech you will get an your answer much faster than on dspace-tech then on the very much smaller German mailing list . If you have questions, tips or ideas dealing with problems specific for running a DSpace installation in Germany, then the German DSpace mailing list is the one of choice.DSpace-de.

German DSpace User Group Meetings

There were several In 2014, it had been a couple of years that the last DSpace user group meetings meeting took place in Germany some years ago. After a break of several years . In the middle of the year, the university library of the Technische Universität Berlin took the initiative to restart the collaboration between the German DSpace user community and invited to a meeting in Berlin. The German DSpace User Group Meeting in 2014 was held on 28, October (see bellowbelow) to restart the collaboration within Germany.in the Technische Universität Berlin

• 2015: 2014: See German DSpace User Group Meeting 20142015: A 2015, Tübingen
  At the meeting in Berlin, people agreed upon a follow-up meeting in Tübingen is plannednext year, probably in April or May 2015. Further information will follow as soon as possible.here in the next months, the invitation will be send to the mailing lists as well.

harvesting procedure of online publications ("Netzpublikationen") and online doctoral thesis ("Elektronische Disserationen") to DNB

By the German National Library

...

law, the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) has the task of collecting, cataloguing, indexing and archiving non-physical media works (“Netzpublikationen”, i.e. online publications). German publishers as well as universities and other institutions have to deliver their online publications to DNB. For online doctoral thesis and other university publications DNB offers an automatic harvesting submission procedure via OAI-PMH, using the special format XMetaDissPlus.

In this section you soon will find information, advices and tips how to support the XMetaDissPlus format using DSpace’s OAI The German National Library collects several digital publications within Germany. Public academic institutions must deliver those publications. The German National Library offers to collect those publications using OAI-PMH using the format XMetaDissPlus. In this section information will follow on how to support this format using DSpace and its oai module.

Persistent Identifier using urn:nbn:de

Beside handle and DOIs DOI there are other persistent identifier systems: DNB runs URN (urn:nbn:de). For some years it had been the only persistent identifier system that was accepted by DNB and it had been mandatory for German institutions to use URNs. This has been changed a few years ago. DNB now accepts Handles and DOIs as well as URNs for non-physical media works ("Netzpublikationen", see above).

You . The German National Library supports URN:NBN:DE for several years now. Some years ago it was mandatory to use URN:NBN:DE to deliver doctoral thesis and other digital publications (see above) to the German National Library. This changed! The German National Library accepts Handles or DOIs as well. If you want to you still can generate and register URNs, but this will need some changes within in DSpace. There are several German DSpace implementations to use URN:NBN:DE together with DSpacethat use URNs, but there is no implementation yet that uses the Identifier Service which came up with DSpace 3. Please ask on the German DSpace Mailing list if you have further interest in this topic

This section is to be intended for the discussion of urn:nbn:de and its implementation in DSpace. If you are interested in this topic and want to find collaboration partners you could send an email to DSpace-de. Please feel free to add your code, documentation or other information here about using urn:nbn:de together with DSpace if you're able to. to this section.
