From cmmorris at fedora-commons.org Tue May 5 12:32:13 2015 From: cmmorris at fedora-commons.org (Carol Minton Morris) Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 12:32:13 -0400 Subject: [Pasig-discuss] NEWS RELEASE: VIVO v1.8 is Now Available Message-ID: *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE* May 5, 2015 Read it online: http://bit.ly/1FNdIML Contact: Mike Conlon *VIVO v1.8 is Now Available* The VIVO team has announced that VIVO v1.8 is now available with key features and improvements. The VIVO Project is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of faculty and students providing an integrated view of the scholarly work of an organization. - *DOWNLOAD VIVO* v1.8 at http://vivoweb.org/download. - *MORE INFORMATION* about the features described below is available in the VIVO 1.8 Release Notes . *More modular architecture* The VIVO application is now partitioned into a main body and seven modules focusing on specific application-related functions including content persistence, application configuation, the search engine, the search indexer, reasoning functions related to the ontologies in VIVO, the system to store files such as uploaded images, and the tool to process uploaded images. The modules provide well-defined interfaces, encouraging alternative implementations from the VIVO community. *Performance improvements* The time required for a full re-inferencing of VIVO's content has been dramatically reduced and rebuilding the search index is also faster in v1.8, due largely to reduced memory usage. VIVO v1.8 also starts up in about half the time required by VIVO v1.7. *Interactive management of "faux" properties* VIVO v1.6 introduced the idea of faux properties, which provide improved specialization of property labeling and display on profile pages without adding new OWL properties to the VIVO-ISF. VIVO v1.8 includes new pages for viewing and managing faux properties interactively. *Individuals represented by VCards* VIVO v1.8 supports the practice of representing otherwise unidentified co-authors and other people external to the host institution using VCard information, rather than as FOAF persons with VIVO pages in their own right until further information about their identity is known. In this way, the data model is not overwhelmed by co-authors, co-investigators, and other persons who are incidental to the institution. *Triple store flexibility* VIVO can be configured to use several different types of triple stores, but as of this release has only been extensively tested in production environments with Jena SDB, which remains the default configuration. VIVO has an interface to a generic triple store that supports standard SPARQL query and update protocols, such as Jena TDB running either within the application or through an Apache Fuseki SPARQL endpoint. VIVO also has recently been confirmed to run on Virtuoso via a SPARQL endpoint, but again has not been extensively tested with that triplestore. *Added schema.org markup* The HTML markup in profile pages now includes "microdata" tags that are recognized by most popular search engines. These tags allow the search engine to easily extract structured data from VIVO, improving the appearance of search results. *A new customization guide* The VIVO documentation now includes a guide entitled Changing the appearance of VIVO. Much of this information was already available in the VIVO wiki. It has been curated, updated, and augmented with new customization techniques. This guide is available in the VIVO wiki, as a tree of 22 wiki pages. It is also included in the VIVO distribution, as a 118-page PDF document. *A new search index builder* The search indexer code has been re-written and re-designed, to make it more efficient, more maintainable, and more configurable. Most changes to the search index configuration can now be accomplished by changes to a runtime file. *Additional improvements* In addition to numerous bug fixes, changes were made to reduce duplication of CSS and JavaScript files, to improve display features and performance, to make VIVO compatible with Java 1.8, and to improve protection against cross-site scripting attacks and click-jacking. *GitHub committers who contributed to this release:* Nate Prewitt (University of Colorado) Graham Triggs, Alex Viggio (Symplectic) Ted Lawless (Brown University) Patrick McElwee (Duke University) Brian Lowe (Ontocale) Jim Blake, Huda Khan, Tim Worrall, Jon Corson-Rikert, Holly Mistlebauer (Cornell University) *Learn more at the VIVO Conference* There?s still time to take advantage of reduced early bird registration for the upcoming VIVO Conference that will be held in Boston, MA August 12-14, 2015. The program is designed to help you harness the full potential of research networking, discovery, and open research. - Workshops program available here - Register here *About VIVO* VIVO (http://vivoweb.org) is an open source, open ontology, open process platform for hosting information about the interests, activities and accomplishments of scholars.

One of the key benefits in choosing the fully-hosted DSpaceDirect repository service is that customers are able to use the most recent version of DSpace without having to tie up staff and technical resources to upgrade software. *All current and prospective customers now enjoy DSpace 5 benefits?the ability to more easily migrate from older versions of DSpace, to batch import content and more.* The release of DSpace 5 offers users an even easier-to-use and more efficient institutional repository solution. - Sign-up for a DSpaceDirect information session: http://dspacedirect.org/register - DSpaceDirect low-cost pricing options: http://dspacedirect.org/pricing The following innovative features are now available as part of the DSpaceDirect service: *Batch Importing* Adding a lot of content in a ?batch? to a DSpaceDirect account just became easier with the batch import feature that is now available through the administrative interface. Users create a SimpleArchiveFormat package, zip it up, and upload it through the browser and DSpaceDirect will ingest the content and metadata automatically into the repository. *File Download Tracking* Individual file downloads in a DSpaceDirect repository are now tracked and recorded in the Google Analytics interface along with a full list of other repository statistics, allowing repository administrators to know which files are being downloaded the most, the least, from where in the world, etc. *Thumbnail Image Enhancements* Any time an image and NOW pdf file is added to a DSpaceDirect repository a thumbnail for that file is created. With the latest upgrade, these thumbnails are more crisp and clear than ever allowing users to easily see a preview of the full-size image or pdf file being stored in the repository. And coming soon, the new, modern and responsive user interface for DSpaceDirect that will make the repository mobile-friendly and a player in the modern web technology world. Plans to roll out this new theme will be underway early this summer, so stay tuned.

Message-ID: The deadline for DLF proposals is fast approaching. Proposals are due June 22, just about a month away. ----------------------------- The DLF Forum is an annual meeting where the digital library community comes together to discover better methods of working through sharing and collaboration. It serves as a resource and catalyst among digital library developers, project managers, and all who are invested in digital library issues. The 2015 DLF Forum will be held in Vancouver, BC, October 26-28. We are currently seeking proposals for the 2015 DLF Forum program. The Program Planning Committee requests proposals within the broad framework of digital collections, infrastructure, resources, and organizational priorities. You do not need to be part of a member organization in order to submit a proposal. The Forum traditionally has no overarching theme so that we can craft a program that speaks to current issues of interest to our community. We depend on contributors to focus proposals on action-oriented topics targeted towards a practitioner audience, considering the aspects of design, management, implementation, assessment, and collaboration. Suggested topical areas for 2015 include: - Linked data implementations - Collaborative digital projects across GLAM institutions - Innovative approaches to engaging users and reusing data and collections (e.g., data visualization, mapping, crowdsourcing, citizen science) - Systems architecture, both hardware and code - Open data, open access, or open educational resources This is not a prescriptive list; we encourage you to be creative, collaborative, and collegial. Proposals are due June 22. For more information and to submit your proposal, please visit http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/cfp/ The call for proposals for the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Preconference is also open until June 22. Please share widely. Apologies for cross-posting. 2015 DLF Forum , Vancouver, October 26-28 Call for Proposals ? Due June 22 Registration ?

The popularity of Preservica?s Cloud hosted Digital Preservation /and/ Access solution, particularly with smaller and mid-size institutions, is in part down to its intuitive, integrated OAIS (Open Archival Information Systems) workflows, and the overall value and breadth of its ?out-of-the-box? functions. These benefits were remarked on in the recent IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) funded report by POWWR (Preserving digital Objects with Restricted Resources) in which Preservica was the only solution to /fully/ address all 21 functions in the POWRR evaluation Grid. In particular, Preservica Cloud Edition provides the six essential functions of an OAIS Cloud hosted Digital Preservation solution: Full Active Preservation, including file management & migration post-ingest; Preservation & Access in one system, saving time money and duplicated content; Tools for the easy and reliable upload of large files (10s of GBs); Flexible and cost-effective storage management ? fast Amazon S3 for frequently accessed presentation content and/or low-Cost Amazon Glacier for infrequently accessed preservation content; Sophisticated control over user roles & access rights down to an individual record level; and a wide range of connectors for popular ECM/RM, email, catalog and digital library systems, including Microsoft SharePoint and Outlook.

URL: From evelyn at artefactual.com Wed May 27 14:10:42 2015 From: evelyn at artefactual.com (Evelyn McLellan) Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 11:10:42 -0700 Subject: [Pasig-discuss] Archivematica 1.4 released Message-ID: We are pleased to announce the release of Archivematica 1.4 and Storage Service 0.7! This version includes a number of bug fixes, new and updated tools and several new features. Full release notes are available on the Archivematica wiki, and installation documentation is available on the project website. Here are some highlights: *CONTENTdm integration*: Archivematica 1.4 introduces a new workflow for use with CONTENTdm. Rather than connecting to the CONTENTdm server as was the case in previous versions, Archivematica uses the METS file to create a tab-delimited file appropriate for use with the CONTENTdm Project Client. The tab-delimited files will include the File and AIP UUIDs and works for either simple or compound object workflows. The operator retrieves the DIP objects, including the tab file, from the Archivematica server and continues the workflow in Project Client. The new workflow is appropriate for use in any hosted or non-hosted Archivematica and CONTENTdm environment because there is no need for the two servers to communicate. Direct upload to CONTENTdm from Archivematica has been removed in this version. *DSpace integration*: The treatment of DSpace ingests is enhanced in this version, including capture of parent-child relationships from the DSpace repository and improvements to the way licence and OCR files are identified in the METS file. *Siegfried file identification tool*: We?re pleased to have written Format Policy Registry (FPR) rules for using Siegfried, a PRONOM-based open-source tool provided by the Open Preservation Foundation, for file identification. We would like to encourage testing at this point - please feel free to report your results in the user forum and share your experience with the community. *Islandora/Archidora plugin*: The updated Storage Service incorporates the use of FEDORA via SWORD2 as an Access Protocol, which allows the use of the Archidora plugin to ingest materials uploaded to Islandora through Archivematica. This is considered to be a beta feature at this time - testing, documentation and sharing experiences through the user forum are strongly encouraged! The Archidora plugin was developed by DiscoveryGarden and is available through Github . Further information about the Archidora plugin can be found in the Islandora documentation . *AIP recovery*: New functionality has been added to the Storage Service to facilitate AIP recovery, from a backed up copy, for example. The recovered AIP is copied into a dedicated directory which is accessible from the Storage Service; recovery is then requested via the Storage Service?s REST interface. *Bag-info.txt file indexing*: This version introduces a new feature which indexes and makes searchable the tags and contents of the bag-info.txt file when bags are ingested. The contents of bag-info.txt are added to the METS file, making it possible to search the contents of file from the Archival Storage tab once the material has been processed. A couple of notes about installing this release: -This is considered an optional release/upgrade. Although many users will want to take advantage of bug fixes and new functionality, Archivematica 1.3.2. is still supported. -This is the first Archivematica release to have separate packages available on Launchpad for installation. The previous packages will install Archivematica 1.3.2; use ppa:archivematica/1.4 to install version 1.4. -Unlike previous releases, only one ppa is required: ppa:archivematica/1.4. To install Archivematica 1.3.2, you would require both ppa:archivematica/release and ppa:archivematica/externals *Evelyn McLellan* President, Artefactual Systems Inc. www.artefactual.com evelyn at artefactual.com 604.527.2056 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
