2. The user chooses to upload a file in structured format.
3. The user starts the upload.
4. The system processes the uploaded file, checks for completeness, creates an item and releases them immediately. The use case ends successfully.

Alternatives

4b. User cancels the upload procedure.

Actors involved

User with depositing rights for at least one collection

Data involved

BibTex File, structured format

Constraints

• BibTeX files are individually structured. We have to agree on one common BibTex format we are going to support.

We can provide mandatory fields for each genre. Question: where should we document the mapping?--Ulla 12:41, 15 February 2008 (CET)

Future development

• Upload files in structured format containing more than one reference

see Ingestion

Constraints

By providing ArXiv identifier, we might be able to fetch as well the fulltext. Has to be checked!

Future development

Provide fetching for other identifier

Functional Prototype

Please check the prototype for easy submission

Comments functional team:

• Do we have agreed which are the Metadata to be filled in manual easy submission? At least source is missing.--Ulla 12:35, 15 February 2008 (CET)
• Manual Submission, Step 2: For the manual submission method, the submission is always a new submission, ie. no item has been created before. It is therefore not possible, that there is already an uploaded file. --Ulla 12:35, 15 February 2008 (CET)
• The proposals by Natasa should be considered: default content category per genre, default creator roles per genre, default affiliation (same as previous), default source genre per item genre, default creator role if creator is of type organisation--Ulla 12:35, 15 February 2008 (CET)
• The overall requirement for submission (genre-specific Metadata for edit mask) has to be considered for easy as well as normal submission for R3
• After Manual submission, step 4, user has the same option as in Fetch MD, Step 3--Ulla 12:35, 15 February 2008 (CET)
• Fetch MD, Step 2: Provision of an external Id and uploading a bibtex file are 2 different issues. The introductory phrase on the GUI "Please provide an ID" should be more generic to cover both cases.--Ulla 12:35, 15 February 2008 (CET)
• Fetch MD, Step 3: Typo on GUI, short short. In addition, would re-phrase to "...might not cover all fetched Metadata".
