I'd like to enter only the metadata for one of our publications, it contains copyrighted materials. However, when I go through the steps if I try to skip the Upload Files I get the message "* The item must contain at least one file."

  

Is there a way around this?

  

Thanks,

Hi David, you have to configure this option in dspace.cfg or local.cfg file:

# Whether or not we REQUIRE that a file be uploaded
# during the 'Upload' step in the submission process
# Defaults to true; If set to 'false', submitter has option to skip upload
webui.submit.upload.required = false

Hope this helps.
Diego

Going a bit further, how can i manually add external links instead of uploading files?
For instance, just as it happens when using OAI Harvester with metadata-only option activated. Is it possible?
Thanks!

Hello, Bruno:

For this specific use case, I upload an .html file that contains a redirect to the full DOI (or other persistent URL).

I create this in a plain-text editor and save it with the .html file extension: 2018-05-23-articlelink_chase_001.html

<html><head>
<title>UBIR to publisher redirect</title>
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://doi.org/10.1080/15398285.2012.674000">
</head>
<body bgcolor=#ffffff>
<center> one moment please
</center>
</body>

Just replace "UBIR" with the name of your repository, and of course, replace the persistent URL.

Thanks,

Thanks for the answer, Karlen.
That's a very interesting solution, especially because it doesn't require any modification in the src. I'll try it out to check if it fits my case.

In our local theme, we have customized the item display page to present external links that we place in dc.relation.uri.

We use this approach for simple links to documents and to trigger the embedding of our streaming media player.

We also allow for simple markdown to be embedded in dc.description.

Thanks, Terry!

Based on your answers i've discovered that ORE is nothing more than a special XML bitstream, that define bitstreams as links. So i decided to write a Python class to create a "Simple Format Archive" packager using OAI. The packager receives a base URL and a handle and then make requests to OAI to gather item's metadata (DIM) and item's ORE information (ORE) and create a ZipFile with those infos. This ZipFile is ready to be uploaded to a repository using "Batch Import (ZIP)" option.

The code is in very early-development stage but it already does the job. Later it can become a real python extension, to accept a list of handles and different base url at once.

I've deployed it on heroku free plan just to test it. It can be accessed at:

And the source-code is stored at:

Feel free to test it, and please let me know of any bug or suggestions.
