Migration project from TARA to standalone repository
The edeposit Ireland service was setup in 2014 as a community within the Trinity College DSpace institutional repository TARA. After reaching a critical mass of over 21,000 documents, it became important to migrate the community to a stand-alone repository.
Key requirements included:
- a global change of the handle prefix whilst retaining the suffix
- to ensure ease of redirects from the former repository
- integration of DOI minting for specific collections
- the ability for external publishers to login and upload their publications easily.
The migration process was carried out collaboratively between Trinity College Dublin and Atmire’s implementation team, ensuring that all collections, metadata, and access configurations transferred accurately.
The staff at Atmire have been lovely and professional to work with, courteous and calm. It is a joy to see our content and collections transfer over perfectly and looking elegant in the new repository.
