Hello all, I've been setting up a DSpace instance for our University's library [1] for our Open Access publications. We store information about university's publications already in CRIS system, so we wanted to use that data also for DSpace, so we wrote a couple of small utility programs for transforming and generating Simple Archive Format packages from CSV- and other files [2]. These programs are somewhat similar to Simple Archive Format Packager - but provide ability to modify input CSV and handle files in archive somewhat differently. In any case, the functionality they provide is quite similar and [3] is probably more robustly tested - one reason we wrote our own tools was that we weren't initially aware of [3] and when we got aware, the tool didn't do quite everything we needed. Perhaps some advantages of our tools, justifying the NIH, are that they are simple, easy to understand and modify, and possibly quite fast (written in Go).
In any case, we've licensed the source code under MIT License and put it publicly available in Github: https://github.com/isido/saf-archiver - code is somewhat tested, but has some rough edges (i.e. throwing panics instead of proper error messages). If it is useful for anyone, we're happy. br, Ilja Sidoroff Information Specialist University of Eastern Finland, Library [1] University of Eastern Finland, https://www.uef.fi [2] https://github.com/isido/saf-archiver [3] https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Simple+Archive+Format+Packager -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Community" group.
