-----------------------------------
Thank you - this is helpful. I hadn't realized it was possible to do at the
database level. This will resolve this in the short term at least.
> Ability to map collections to multiple communities

> Key: DS-491
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-491
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sarah Shreeves
>
> I searched to see whether this had been requested before but could not see it.
> As a repo manager of an increasingly complex repository (IDEALS), I am
> getting more and more requests to have a collection appear in more than one
> community. For example, we have a joint grant activity between the Library
> School and the Library which has produced a series of reports. Both units
> would like to have these items included in their community under a collection
> specifically for the grant activity. Right now, the only way to do this is to
> create two separate collections, submit items to one collection, and then map
> them to the other collection (which is a tedious process in and of itself
> especially since the search functionality is so problematic there).
> Another example which I'm faced with right now is a collection that will
> include a series of reports that are jointly published by two departments.
> The administrators would like to see this series appear in the community for
> each department, but they would also like to be able to include the handle
> for the entire series on each report (i.e. the collection handle). Right now,
> they either have to choose a 'canonical' collection between the two or we
> have to create a separate community and collection divorced from the
> department communities.
> I would like to see a way where I could map an entire collection so that the
> collection can appear in multiple communities. I would assume that the items
> in that collection would also be mapped. There would be a single handle for
> that collection (essentially the same way the item mapper works).
> This request has come in to me about five or six times now, and it seems that
> the more interdisciplinary work we get into the repository - particularly if
> we're looking at collections of works, not just items - the more necessary
> this kind of functionality will be. It also seems important for a publication
> series where the collection really groups items that belong together.
> I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have about this!
