Excellent! Well done!
The regular expressing matching you've introduced is more complex
than previous *scrapers. Might be worth mentioning this a bit more on
the list for those interested.
Also, I'm concerned about the use of '
http://www.ontoweb.org/ontology/
1#' namespace in this (and other) scrapers. Looking at the code, it
seems clear you're using this to type 'Publications'. I'd suggest we
either work with the ontoweb folks for making this available or use
another namespace for this term that resolves to something useful
(ideally one that has some sort of clear persistence policy).
If there are not readily available terms the Dspace community needs I
think we should work with them to find out what they are and simply
write these to the web. Other than the class 'Publication' is there
anything else you've come across in modeling the data?
