Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund

The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.

Packages exported from DSpace preserve existing handles and include extraneous nodes added to the DSpace-DC metadata. The DSpace installation includes a tool for cleaning the metadata and eliminating existing handles. However, it requires a BASH shell that is not available on a standard Windows installation.

Therefore, I've written a script to perform the same functions, called "dspace_migrate_windows.wsf", which is available at attachment:dspace_migrate_windows.wsf. Our group will probably be using this tool repeatedly as collections are migrated from DSpace to other repositories.

Dependencies:

  • Microsoft Scripting Runtime
  • Windows Scripting Host

The original BASH shell script is available at http://wiki.dspace.org/TechnicalFaq#head-afc2cd87f105a3a7924cc03d633ffcc763046358
