###Repository Prerequisites

• create specific collection for these services
• remove Submitters from Assign Roles in Edit Collection so it does not get displayed as an option to non-admin users
• register the Weblicht collection accessible via OAI-PMH in centre registry (http://weblicht.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/weblichtwiki/index.php/Making_the_CMDI_Metadata_Harvestable)
  • You can get the set id using ListSets OAI-PMH verb, eg. https://lindat.mff.cuni.cz/repository/oai/request?verb=ListSets
  • As the WebServicesSet use the collection ID in DSpace:

###Prerequisites before submitting a new service to repository

• working service
• pre-reserve a handle for the submission (not strictly necessary, see below)
  • guess what the handle of your submission will be
  • or register one through handle management
  • or enable the reserve PID in a submission feature (introduced in #414)
• CMDI file + WSDL files (publicly available) describing the service
  • Easily create the CMDI file by cloning a CMDI of an existing service in Comet
  • write any fake URL in the WSDL field, it is not being used any more
  • the CMDI file should have a .cmdi suffix
  • put the pre-reserved handle into the CMDI file

###Submitting a new service to repository as admin

• start new submission, choose community & collection prepared in prerequisites
• In "Basic step" of submission check hidden from search & check that a cmdi file will be uploaded
  • these fields are in the default input-forms.xml as local.hasMetadata and local.hidden
• in the upload step upload the CMDI file. The file should have .cmdi suffix, it won't show in the list of files.
• publish the record and check that it gets published in the OAI set of the Weblicht services and harvested by Weblicht

###If you don't pre-reserve a handle for the submission You might not have a handle before you create the submission. In this case, you can adapt the steps above like this:

• put a fake temporary handle in the CMDI file
• after creating the submission, edit the CMDI file, putting in the new handle
• delete and reupload the new CMDI file (under "Edit item" -> "Item bitstreams"); make sure you select the "Metadata files" bundle in the upload form.
