<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Johna,<br><br></div><div>This thread from September of last year may be useful or at least give you a potential point of contact: <a href="http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/pipermail/archivesspace_users_group/2016-September/004053.html">http://lyralists.lyrasis.org/pipermail/archivesspace_users_group/2016-September/004053.html</a><br></div><div><br></div>What you want to do can probably be done via the ArchivesSpace API, and I think a number of people have done some similar metadata export/ArchivesSpace updating tasks in this way. We have a similar use case--not between ArchivesSpace and Digital Commons, but ArchivesSpace and DSpace, a system that does some of the same things.<br><br></div>We get the collection-level information from ArchivesSpace Resources to DSpace Collections with a little command line program we wrote: <a href="https://github.com/bentley-historical-library/resource-to-collection">https://github.com/bentley-historical-library/resource-to-collection</a>. Basically, you point it at an ArchivesSpace Resource and it makes use of the ArchivesSpace API and the DSpace API to take data from the former and add it to the latter. It's definitely a homegrown thing for the very particular way we do things here, but it sounds similar to what you need to do and you could certainly make use of any or all of it.<br><br></div><div>For getting the information about individual ArchivesSpace Digital Objects to DSpace, this essentially happens for us as part of an integration between ArchivesSpace, Archivematica and DSpace, where scripts in Archivematica handle getting information from ArchivesSpace Archival Objects to ArchivesSpace Digital Objects and DSpace Items, and then URLs from those DSpace Items back to ArchivesSpace. There's little bits and pieces that seem relevant to your use case:<br><ul><li>agentarchives, which interacts with the ArchivesSpace API (with various functions around getting info from resources and components in ArchivesSpace or posting to or updating those things in ArchivesSpace): <a href="https://github.com/artefactual-labs/agentarchives">https://github.com/artefactual-labs/agentarchives</a> <br></li><li>DSpace URLs (handles) back to ArchivesSpace, which I'm not sure you'd be able to do <i>without</i> using the API: <a href="https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica/blob/stable/1.6.x-bentley/src/MCPClient/lib/clientScripts/post_store_aip_hook.py#L47-L84">https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica/blob/stable/1.6.x-bentley/src/MCPClient/lib/clientScripts/post_store_aip_hook.py#L47-L84</a> <br></li></ul><p>Again, different system, but similar principles and similar interaction with ArchivesSpace via the API. <br></p><p>It looks like bepress is thinking about <a href="https://www.bepress.com/dots-dashes-help-us-build-a-digital-commons-search-api/">building out an API</a>, which you could look into as well--maybe that could help?<br></p><p>Hope any of that helps!<br></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Max<br></p></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 31, 2017 at 1:53 PM, Johna Von Behrens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnavonbehrens@gmail.com" target="_blank">johnavonbehrens@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I am looking for some information or advice on using AS and Digital Commons (DC) together.<div><br></div><div>In AS there would be the regular finding aids and digital objects created.
