DSpace version (un)supported? #12

Closed vpraturlon closed 8 years ago

vpraturlon commented 9 years ago

Any known issues with some specific DSpace versions? Or otherwise, which versions of DSpace have been tested? (1.6 OK ?)

Thanks!

Thank you for your interest.

The tool has been tested with DSpace 3.0 to 3.2 and I have noticed small incompatibilities with DSpace 1.8.x (such as the change of fields language and password in the EPerson table, from lang and passw, respectively). Other than that, it should function well with other versions, as long as the tables metadatavalue, metadataschemaregistry, metadatafieldregistry, item, and handle do not undergo any major changes (which in version 4 haven't, afaik). Version 1.6 is quite old, I have not tested it with it, please let me know if it is compatible or if you encounter any version-related errors.

Also, to mention, that the tool is a generic R2RML parser: using it with DSpace out-of-the-box is merely a proof-of-concept, hence the mapping files that we thought would be of general interest. However, it is fully customizable to any relational database schema (mysql, postgres, oracle).
