Bulk clean up tool in DSpace (after we move to hosted)
Timeline
LTD had a high-level discussion, don’t believe that the local install is sustainable long-term
Start with what we have long-term and move to hosted Spring 2020
Open Repository based on DSpace that’s offered by Atmire
Includes extra features and a full back-end
Filenames need to be checked and matched for migration; need to decide when to migrate and into which version
Choice Management
Controlled Vocabulary form
Authority Control Module
Summary
Authority control (authentication keys) vs ‘choice management’ (CVs)- two separate things
A tool for administrators… only displays on back end
Can be required, or not. ‘Not’ is recommended… the status will still be clear to the repo manager, and the lookup option will help them correct these
Complex interaction with submission form options (see table below)
Authority control master doc… not updated since 1.?
LC available. Uses this endpoint.
See also the 5.x documentation, especially the section on how authority control behaves in the administrative UI, pictured here:
Overall, Authority control is confusing and poorly documented. See this thread where Tim Donohue, DSpace 7’s lead developer, says 'Unfortunately, authority control is an area of DSpace that is still poorly documented… I admit I don't even have a clear understanding of each of the configuration options.” Gabe Galson will implement regular authority control in one field and report back to the group.
