First successful RJ Broker tests on live repository platforms

As part of the preliminary work for rolling out the Repository Junction Broker service for automated delivery of EuropePMC articles to the UK repository network, the RJB Team at EDINA is now carrying out transfer tests on live EPrints- and DSpace-based institutional repositories (with Fedora-based IRs shortly to follow). This preliminary testing stage has already resulted in a successful 103-strong EuropePMC article delivery into a test instance of the Spiral repository at Imperial College.

Following regular RJB operation, the agreed set of EuropePMC articles have been left at the repository main entrance for the IR manager to decide whether they should be ingested. Once the automated RJB-mediated transfer has proved successful, subsequent testing stages are now dealing with metadata quality fine-tuning and identifying optimal ways to tell what subset of the transferred contents is new and therefore eligible for final ingest into the IR.
