Interface ItemExportService

All Known Implementing Classes:

ItemExportServiceImpl

public interface ItemExportService

Item exporter to create simple AIPs for DSpace content. Currently exports individual items, or entire collections. For instructions on use, see printUsage() method.

ItemExport creates the simple AIP package that the importer also uses. It consists of:

/exportdir/42/ (one directory per item) / dublin_core.xml - qualified dublin core in RDF schema / contents - text file, listing one file per line / file1 - files contained in the item / file2 / ...

issues -doesn't handle special characters in metadata (needs to turn &'s into &, etc.)

Modified by David Little, UCSD Libraries 12/21/04 to allow the registration of files (bitstreams) into DSpace.
