Abstract:
There are numerous activities required to store and maintain the digital assets of an institution. Dspace provides functionality to support many of these activities through its core distribution. What can be done, however, when some event requires a task that is not already built into the administrative gui or command line functions of the software? The answer, write a curation task using the new curation system. The curation system provides a simple, extensible way to manage routine content operations on a repository. In this two-hour tutorial/workshop, participants will learn how to write a curation task, as well as deploy and configure it to run.
