Community and Collection Structure Importer

This Command-Line tool gives you the ability to import a community and collection structure directory from a source XML file.

Usage

Command used:

[dspace]/bin/dspace structure-builder

Java class:

org.dspace.administer.StructBuilder

Argument: short and long (if available) forms:

Description of the argument

-f

Source xml file.

-o

Output xml file.

-e

Email of DSpace Administrator.

XML Import Format

The administrator need to build the source xml document in the following format:

...

This will examine the contents of source.xml, import the structure into DSpace while logged in as the supplied administrator, and then output the same structure to the output file, but including the handle for each imported community and collection as an attribute.

...

Limitation: import only, no export

  • Currently this does not export community and collection structures from existing DSpaces, although it should only be a small modification to make it do so
