Package org.dspace.curate

In DSpace, "curation" refers to the application of one or more "tasks" to one or more model objects. There are two fundamental classes to consider:

CurationTask

Code to be applied to model objects. A task is invoked on a single object, and may analyze and/or modify it as required.

Curator

Applies tasks to model objects as requested. See this class for details of the order of application of tasks to objects.

Curation requests may be run immediately or queued for batch processing.

Tasks may also be attached to a workflow step, so that a set of tasks is applied to each uninstalled Item which passes through that step. See XmlWorkflowCuratorService.

A task may return to the Curator a status code, a final status message, and an optional report character stream.

TaskQueue	TaskQueue objects manage access to named queues of task entries.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractCurationTask	AbstractCurationTask encapsulates a few common patterns of task use, resources, and convenience methods.
CitationPage	CitationPage This task is used to generate a cover page with citation information for text documents and then to add that cover page to a PDF version of the document replacing the originally uploaded document form the user's perspective.
Curation	CurationCli provides command-line access to Curation tools and processes.
CurationCli	This is the CLI version of the Curation script.
CurationCliScriptConfiguration	This is the CLI version of the CurationScriptConfiguration class that handles the configuration for the CurationCli script
CurationScriptConfiguration<T extends Curation>	The ScriptConfiguration for the Curation script
Curator	Curator orchestrates and manages the application of a one or more curation tasks to a DSpace object.
FileReporter	Save a curation report to a unique file in the reports directory.
FileTaskQueue	FileTaskQueue provides a TaskQueue implementation based on flat files for the queues and semaphores.
LogReporter	Write curation report records through the logging framework.
ResolvedTask	ResolvedTask wraps an implementation of one of the CurationTask or ScriptedTask interfaces and provides for uniform invocation based on CurationTask methods.
TaskQueueEntry	TaskQueueEntry defines the record or entry in the named task queues.
TaskResolver	TaskResolver takes a logical name of a curation task and attempts to deliver a suitable implementation object.
Utils	Utils contains a few commonly occurring methods.
XmlWorkflowCuratorServiceImpl	Manage interactions between curation and workflow.
