Fields available in metadata export

[Chris Clawson]

Do I remember the dc.provenance being exported with metadata in earlier versions? When I export collection metadata in DS 7.2, I no longer see any fields included which report the original bitstream filenames, which is important to us.

Might someone please describe the location and config files that control which fields are exported to CSV? How may I configure this?

The dc.description.provenance is a hidden field by default so it is not exported by default in the XMLU interface for DSpace 6.3. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-WebInterfaceExport has instructions for including additional fields.It looks like the configuration file for this is [dspace]/config/modules/bulkedit.cfg .

I checked this file inside my DS 7.2 installation. Here is the entry I would expect to control the terms:

# Metadata elements to exclude when exporting via the user interfaces, or when using the
# command line version and not using the -a (all) option.
# bulkedit.ignore-on-export = dc.date.accessioned, dc.date.available, \
#                    dc.date.updated, dc.description.provenance

Please notice this feature is already commented out, yet the terms are not being exported in the CSV. Is this a 7.2 bug or is the export of these terms also controlled somewhere else?

Hi Chris,

I think what you are seeing is that "dc.description.provenance" is a hidden field by default, see "metadata.hide" settings in dspace.cfg: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/main/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L927-L943

Hidden fields are only accessible to full Administrators...and therefore, I believe only full Administrators can export them to CSVs (as they are not visible to Community/Collection Admins, etc).  This behavior should be the same in 7.x as it was in 6.x (as far as I'm aware, I don't believe this area of the code changed...but I could be wrong).

Tim
