| 1/25/2005 | Richard Culatta, the CSR of the School of Education, is interested. We need to contact Tom Wright and make an appointment to visit them. Bill needs to meet with Mel Smith of the College of Humanities to see if there is any interest. | ||
| 2/25/2005 | Emailed Richard Culatta again. | ||
| 3/2/2005 | Presented with Randy Olsen to Deans' Council on Monday. Randy asked them to contact us if they are interested. | ||
| 3/11/2005 | Presented to the Scholarly Communications Committee. | ||
| 3/17/2005 | Met with Richard Jensen. We're going to develope the promotional materials with Mike Hooper then talk to other departments. | ||
| Description: | Long-term consistent reference to documents | ||
| Projects: | DSpace, Institutional Repository | ||
| Priority: | 99 | Task ID: | 540 |
| Long Description: | One of the problems with digital documents is the long-term reference them in a way that is meaningful over a very long period of time. Although this may appear to be peripheral to the institutional repository, I think we need to deal with this topic now. | ||

| 11/14/2003 | There appear to be a number of solutions. CNRI's Public Handle System is one method being used by DSpace. Another is the Persistent URL (PURL). | ||
| 3/30/2004 | DSpace implemented the CNRI Handle System. | ||
| 6/1/2004 | This issue is closed for DSpace, but may still be an issue for the Institutional Repository in the long-term. I'm going to remove DSpace from the list of projects for which this is active, but retain it under the Institutional Repository and Documentum projects. | ||
| 11/18/2004 | I'd like to consider creating another Handle Server for the library and refer all URLs to the Handle Server for items in CONTENTdm. | ||

| 2/1/2005 | Submitted the website to Google today. I noted that the front page is already visible to Google, but none of the content is. I wonder if we need to do something with the OAI interface? | ||
| 2/24/2005 | This became an issue at the AVP Council today. The front page is still visible, but none of the content. I've asked John Finlay to investigate this. | ||

| 11/29/2004 | Should we also become a part of the "committers" group that can make changes to DSpace? | ||
| 1/3/2005 | It appears that the DSpace federation does not exist, but the committers group is still functioning. Being a committer has obligations to assist in further development. If we are really serious about DSpace long-term, this is probably a good idea. | ||
| 1/25/2005 | John is submitting the LDAP authentication back to DSpace. Randy and Julene were open to the idea of formally supporting DSpace as part of the library's open source initiative. | ||
| 3/2/2005 | This will be discussed as a part of the larger Open Source issue. | ||

| 8/16/2004 | #7329 - John writes: "I've finished making the changes to DSpace so that the title page is now
added to the PDF documents when they are retrieved from the system.
This also makes the pages more dynamic so that when we update the
copyright statement or make other changes the title page will
automatically change to reflect those changes.
I decided to delete all of the documents from the repository and start from scratch. So any old documents will need to be resubmitted." | ||

| Description: | Investigate alternatives to internal coding of the ETD system. | ||
| Projects: | Documentum, DSpace, ETD | ||
| Priority: | 99 | Task ID: | 581 |
| Long Description: | Two products may provide similar features to the ETD system: DSpace and Documentum. We should investigate for release 4 whether either of these should be selected instead of coding our own project. | ||

| 8/19/2004 | DSpace is not an appropriate product. Although it supports a workflow, it is quite restricted and not as flexible as this project requires, at least as BYU has defined it. Documentum is still an unknown. At the point that Documentum is available to us, we will investigate its usefulness as an ETD tool. | ||

| 11/29/2004 | This issue was also one of the issues brought up at ASIS&T, showing the number of hits on the system and publicizing the top articles. John Finlay reported that there was no mechanism for this in DSpace, but Ryan Price said that the web server itself cold provide this information. This is similar to what we do with the usage page on ETD. This also brings up the question about where would be place this? | ||
| 11/30/2004 | Ryan is looking at the Handle server, which can track usage. It may also be possible to use Webilizer to display the output. There is an inconsistency between what Handle server outputs and what Webilizer wants. We should ask Jacob how he did the ETD usage stats. | ||
| 1/3/2005 | Ryan reports that there is difficulty with the handle server and the statistics that it should be collecting. | ||
| 3/2/2005 | I'm moving this to hold until I hear tht this is a big problem to someone. If I don't hear anything by June 1 I will close this. | ||
| Description: | Add authority control to DSpace? | ||

| 11/29/2004 | I asked Margret Branschofsky of MIT about this at the ASIS&T meeting. She mentioned the lack of authority control as a real problem in DSpace. Even author's names are inconsistent. She said that they have no plans to incorporate this into the product, but would be eager to see someone else do it. This may be an opportunity for us to add to the DSpace community. | ||
| 12/13/2004 | Talked with Joan Gregory of UofU and she thinks this is a good idea. There will be a UALC Systems committee meeting on this. | ||
| 1/3/2005 | John reports that OCLC is doing some work on authority control in DSpace. He will contact them to get more details. | ||
| 1/25/2005 | John found someone who has incorporated authority control into DSpace. They are submitting it to the DSpace project. John has it on the DSpace test server. | ||
| 3/2/2005 | Putting this on hold for now. I don't think that we'll worry about this until it becomes an issue. | ||
