Hello all, I'm new to the talk list - just joining on from the Oakland Museum of CA. We are interested in trying out CSpace and are hoping to load a chunk of data from our ARGUS database that was previously extracted for our online collections site, so that people can test out the system with some of our data. We are following the configuration steps available on the documentation site, and are at the step of creating and configuring our new tenant. When we clicked on the link to check out the UI source code, we got this message: Page level restrictions have been applied to a parent of the current page. These restrictions limit access to only certain certain user(s) or group(s) and apply to all pages in the hierarchy underneath the parent. We are working on getting Subversion installed, but do you know how we can view the code? My second question has to do with the data map templates available here: <blockquote> http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/deploy/Data+Map+Templates </blockquote> I also have a question about the data mapping templates. We have a CSV file from ARGUS that contains record data such as object ID, dimensions, descriptions, and other cataloging info, and we wanted to try loading this into Cspace as a test. When we're mapping our data, does the template describe data elements, does it contain the data elements itself? For example, is the template used to map the ARGUS term "Object ID" to the CSpace term "Object Number"? Or is it used to map ARGUS object IDs (all 10,000 in the file we have) to somewhere in the CSpace database? Thank you so much for any ideas/help you have!

Al, I apologize that the link you’re using to get the UI source code might be of date. The project recently moved off of Subversion and on to Git. We're no longer hosting our own source repository. Instead, we're using GitHub.com –to get the current UI code see https://github.com/collectionspace/ui. If you have the time, please send a link to the wiki page(s) containing the configuration steps you were attempting to follow. It's possible you've found stale pages with outdated information.

Hi Al, I agree with Richard; we don't require an svn client to access our UI source code anymore. I'm afraid there may be a stale link in the documentation, and we'll remove it. As a project we used SVN as a source code repository for a number of years and just recently moved to github. As such, there still may be a few lingering references to SVN. This is the page you may find useful: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+check+out+the+UI+layer+source+code The UI source code is set up to be easily accessed by downloading a zip file, but it's also possible to create and maintain a personal copy using a git client. The data mapping template files, I believe, are used to map the fields from an outside database/CMS schema to the CollectionSpace schema. So, in your example "Object ID" in ARGUS would map to "Object Number" in the Cataloging schema in CollectionSpace. These template files don't hold the individual record values as they aren't processed by CSpace. For loading sample data into CSpace you may wish to look into using our import service. More information: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+Import+Data and http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Imports+Service+Home I hope this brief description answers your questions and helps to get you onto the next step of testing CSpace. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them! - Jesse On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 8:09 PM, Richard Millet <richard.millet@berkeley.edu> wrote: > Al, > > I apologize that the link you’re using to get the UI source code might be of date.  The project recently moved off of Subversion and on to Git.  We're no longer hosting our own source repository.  Instead, we're using GitHub.com –to get the current UI code see https://github.com/collectionspace/ui. > > If you have the time, please send a link to the wiki page(s) containing the configuration steps you were attempting to follow.  It's possible you've found stale pages with outdated information. > > Thanks, > > Richard Millet > Senior Services Engineer > > From: talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org [mailto:talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org] On Behalf Of Al Bersch > Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2012 4:32 PM > To: talk@lists.collectionspace.org > Subject: [Talk] Configuring CSpace tenant - Oakland Museum > > Hello all, > > I'm new to the talk list - just joining on from the Oakland Museum of CA.

Hi Jesse and Richard, Thank you so much for your help! This answers my questions. We are going to resume the configuration process and look at the import service tomorrow afternoon. Thanks again - this is a huge help.
