[EP-tech] Re: ORCiD

*apologies for butting in*

There’s a couple of aspects to this splitting/bundling that I think we (eprints geeks) need to consider:

1.       Relationship between packages (you can have a researchdata repository, but do you want simple authors, or the *really good* ones?)

2.       Migrating existing data into the new model

 

I think that we are part way down the route for (1), but I haven’t seen any discussion around (2).

e.g. How would I go from my current random list of names applied to EPrints, to using a new ‘real author’s package?

Is this something that  has been pondered somewhere?

 

Cheers,

John

Hi Matt,

 

            Developing this into an installable package (ideally a bazaar package) would be the sensible way forwards.  We're in a process of identifying pieces of functionality like this in EPrints and breaking them out into installable packages to be able to create releases of EPrints for specific purposes (publications, data, open education, etc).

 

            Would you be interested in working with me to wrap this up into a bazaar package?  I have a large supply of extra voodoo that can be applied to this problem.

Hi all,

 

We wrote code based on vanilla ePrints code, trying to keep data structures as similar as possible.

Added in workflow definitions and Plugins and handlers for screens etc.

 

It’s quite possible that it could be built as a bazaar module/component, but that was extra voodoo I didn’t want to get into at the time J

I expect incorporating it into a vanilla product may be a better option, as many institutions/locations appear to need an author identity

 

I have attached a .pdf with the general workflow and sample screenshots from one of our dev machines. 

Gilles and I are the test users in this case, as it was doco I wrote in Aug when Gilles was testing some functionality.

Hi Matt

 

          This is really interesting.  How do you manage your two user datasets?

 

          As to integrating the code into EPrints, please send me the zip file, and I'll start moving things forwards.  This may be something that can be built into a bazaar package.
