| − | | + | ==Introduction== |
| − | All the scientific production, formal and informal, draft or definitive, published or unpublished, should be available from a unique web site. The institutional repository is a very important asset of the institution as a whole, not only of the library. We recommend the following syntax for the institutional repository web address:
| + | <font color="red">'''It is very important that the research archive content is [[SUNScholar/Ranking|discovered]] and indexed by trusted external authorities.'''</font> |
| − | | |
| − | '''http://repository.university.country'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''<font color="red">It is very important to avoid changing the institutional domain as it can generate confusion and it has a devastating effect on the visibility values.'''

| − | ===Google Analytics===
| |

| − | ===Google Sitemap===
| |
| − | First, edit the DSpace config file and setup sitemaps as follows.
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | #### Sitemap settings #####
| |
| − | # the directory where the generated sitemaps are stored
| |
| − | sitemap.dir = ${dspace.dir}/sitemaps
| |
| − | | |
| − | #
| |
| − | # Comma-separated list of search engine URLs to 'ping' when a new Sitemap has
| |
| − | # been created. Include everything except the Sitemap URL itself (which will
| |
| − | # be URL-encoded and appended to form the actual URL 'pinged').
| |
| − | #
| |
| − | sitemap.engineurls = http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http://scholar.sun.ac.za/htmlmap
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Add this to the above parameter if you have an application ID with Yahoo
| |
| − | # (Replace REPLACE_ME with your application ID)
| |
| − | # http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=REPLACE_ME&url=
| |
| − | #
| |
| − | # No known Sitemap 'ping' URL for MSN/Live search
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Second, go to the [http://www.google.com/webmasters Google Webmasters] page and create an account. When asked to submit a sitemap use '''htmlmap''' as the sitemap URL. After the correct setup, you can view your own sitemaps by pointing your browser to:
| |
| − | http://%my-repository-hostname%/htmlmap
| |
| − | For example you can view SUNScholar sitemaps by clicking on the link below.
