SS v2.2 is out!

This is to announce the release of Semantic Search v2.2 for DSpace. This release is compatible up to DSpace 1.8.2 and includes mostly bug fixes and improvements in the ontology construction. What's new:
  • Better exception handling/bug fixes: Avoid “Internal System Error” when ontology URL cannot load
  • Added recent history for ontology URLs in Options
  • Improved support for queries with the DateTime datatype. E.g. to find items accepted after 1-1-2011:  dcterms:available some xsd:dateTime[>"2011-01-01T00:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime]
  • Linked Data: Instead of URNs, the XSLT now assigns resolvable identifiers to items and collections (handles, if available)
Moreover:

You can download the new version directly from git (tag SSv2.2or you can apply this patch as per the updated instructions.

In the meantime, we are working on providing a stable version compatible with the latest DSpace v3.1. Stay tuned!
