Hi,

We would like to add an institutional id for our eprint creators/editors
so that other departments within the school can harvest records with the
key linking field being the institutional id (which, as you can gather,
used institutional wide).

We don't want to do anything too fancy (for the time being we are just
going to do an UPDATE matching on email) and I have tried adding a field
eprint_creators_instid to eprints_creators_id, but cannot get at the
instid via a MODS export.

I'm hopeful that there is a simple way to do this.

I'd be grateful for any help.

I've done this for the Depot.... not particularly difficult:
1) In cfg/cfg.d/eprint_fields.pl, extend the creators (and/or editors, etc):
           {
             'name' => 'creators',
             'type' => 'compound',
             'multiple' => 1,
             'fields' => [
                           {
                             'sub_name' => 'name',
                             'type' => 'name',
                             'hide_honourific' => 1,
                             'hide_lineage' => 1,
                             'family_first' => 1,
                           },
                          {
                             'sub_name' => 'id',
                             'type' => 'text',
                             'input_cols' => 20,
                             'allow_null' => 1,
                           },
                          # my new field
                          {
                             'sub_name' => 'institution',
                             'type' => 'text',
                             'input_cols' => 20,
                             #'allow_null' => 1,
                           }
                         ],
             'input_boxes' => 4,
             'input_ordered' => 0,
           },
**don't forget to add the column to the creator, editor, etc tables**

in cfg/lan/en/phrases/eprint_fields.xml:
     <epp:phrase 
id="eprint_fieldname_creators_institution">Institution</epp:phrase>
     <epp:phrase id="eprint_fieldhelp_creators_institution">The ↵

instutution that this person is associated with.</epp:phrase>

(ditto for editors, etc)

The only problem now is getting the auto-update to work. This is done in 
cgi/users/lookup/name:

You need something like an SQL query of:
my $sql = "SELECT COUNT(eprint.eprintid) AS 
num_matches,creators_name_honourific,creators_name_given,creators_name_family,creators_name_lineage,creators_id,creators_institution 
from
  eprint_creators_name
   LEFT JOIN eprint_creators_id ON eprint_creators_name.pos = 
eprint_creators_id.pos
   AND eprint_creators_name.eprintid = eprint_creators_id.eprintid LEFT 
JOIN eprint ON eprint_creators_name.eprintid = eprint.eprintid
   LEFT JOIN eprint_creators_institution ON 
eprint_creators_institution.pos = eprint_creators_id.pos
   AND eprint_creators_institution.eprintid = eprint_creators_id.eprintid
   WHERE eprint.eprint_status = 'archive' ";

and a print sequence of:
	print "<ul>";
	print "<li ↵
id='for:value:relative:_name_family'>$f</li>";
	print "<li id='for:value:relative:_name_given'>$g</li>";
	print "<li ↵
id='for:value:relative:_name_honourific'>$h</li>";
	print "<li ↵
id='for:value:relative:_name_lineage'>$l</li>";
	print "<li id='for:value:relative:_id'>$id</li>";
	print "<li ↵
id='for:value:relative:_institution'>$institution</li>";
	print "</ul></li>\n";

... and Robert is your father's brother....

When you say "institutional id" do you mean an "author id" ↵
for authors  
in the institution? If so, EPrints 3 already has that feature.

Or do you mean an id attached to the author that complements the  
existing author id and identifies which part of the institution (s)he  
is in? A kind of "school-id"?

And when you say "harvest records", do you mean via an OAI harvest, ↵
or  
an Eprints search?

Some repositories record the departments/research groups to which each  
paper is affiliated (using part of the subject tree). If that is  
achieved, you can search for all of the papers which belong to any  
part of the institution very easily.

Hi Les,

Yes I mean a kind of school-id that is unique to the individual in the
institution. They do not need to know what it is and is generally not
shown on any output (we use these to populate Staff publication lists).

I assume the author_id you are talking about is the email which is not
unique enough for our needs. Our partners in a project have DAIs issued
nationally.

Our records will be harvested via OAI and not all authors or one
department, but a selection of authors. We just created a new 'Set' for
these!

Cheers

Mike

You can put whatever you like in the author field's id component.  
EPrints doesn't care whether it is an email, a staff id or an NI  
number! Email works for our school, but our institution uses the staff  
id. You can use the autocompletion function to help people enter the  
value automatically.

The ids aren't usually exposed to OAI. What do your harvesters expect  
to see? I suppose the repository would need to be able to allocate  
individual author ids to specific sets, so as long as the repository  
is privvy to that information you shouldn't have a problem.
I'd still be inclined to store the result of this mapping as a  
property of the eprint, so that anyone can query it.

Hi All,
 
Does anyone know anything about harvesting OAI sets from Eprints?
I'm getting complaints from someone having trouble determining what OAI set to ↵
harvest.
 
Thanks,

All,
 
I'm trying to copy data from a live Eprints-305 to a Eprints-3.1 test box.
 
I've copied over the documents directory and imported the mysql tables.
Unfortunately I get an apache error. I've tried "epadmin upgrade ↵

but it makes no difference. Has anyone any ideas?

Hi Alfredo,
Thanks for this and I now see what it's all about.
Does this just output the metadata?
Is there a way of downloading the full text PDF files?
 
Thanks,

OAI-PMH is just Metadata (the M-bit).

Yes, most metadata formats exposed by EPrints include the URLs of the 
full-texts (if publicly available).

Les,
 
I quite agree and for most there are editors. I understand from our Eprints ↵
administrator that this request has come from our research staff. It's most ↵
likely that the fields have not been entered correctly and the editors have ↵
been entered in the creators field.
 
Thanks,
Malcolm.

Hello,

 

Our Eprints has been infected by something that creates spurious users
with non-existent e-mail addresses. None of the accounts is ever
activated, but they seem to remain in the list of users so I can't
easily tell how many real users there are. Can anyone let me know how to
delete all users who haven't activated their accounts? Thanks.

 

Best wishes,

 

Barbara

Hi Barbara

I've seen also quite a number of that type of user accounts appearing.
Haven't made any automatic removals.

But i'd suggest you look in the database, in the user table.
And looking at it - you can sort it on time of joining (joined_year, 
month, day). It will definately be an account type user. (cause at least 
in my install only an admin can make someone an editor)
Probably the easiest way to recognise those accounts is on the fields: 
pin & pinsettime.
I think those get set after creating a new account, when the an email 
has been sent - as verification. So I assume that user records where 
those fields have a value other then NULL - means they are probably 
relatively new -and the user hasnt accessed them.
Of course you'll have to be carefull not to delete genuine new user 
accounts.

I'm sure someone else can give a much better and more detailed answer.
Hope this still helps you a bit.

Regards
Bas Smit

In the citation style wrap it with:
<if test="is_set(editors_name)"> ... </if>

All the best,
Tim.


Hi Tim,

I checked the /cfg/citations/eprint/default.xml file and I had ↵
"creators", so I replaced with "editors_name" and it

appears to do the job - many thanks.  


old:  In: <if test="is_set(creators)"><print ↵
expr="editors_name"/>, (ed<if test="length(editors_name) ↵
gt 1">s</if>.)</if>

new:  In: <if test="is_set(editors_name)"><print ↵
expr="editors_name"/>, (ed<if test="length(editors_name) ↵
gt 1">s</if>.)</if>

Myproblem is now that while it does not appear in the search result it does ↵
appear when you click on the result and the second view is displayed. Is there ↵
a way of removing it there too?

You will need to regenerate your abstracts (which are static pages):
./bin/epadmin generate_abstracts [repoid]

Make a back-up copy before you change it.

If you're on version 3.1 you can add the necessary phrase using the 
admin tool, otherwise take a look in 
archives/[repoid]/cfg/lang/en/phrases/ (can add to any file there or add 
a new one).

Cheers,
Tim.

Hello Tim,

Thanks. I've done that - and it works. What I haven't been able to do is
define the phrase. Where should the definition go?
