 // Tips and configurations courtesy of Ranju Upadhyay, National University of Ireland Maynooth. //
-As our repo is EPrints, I have needed to do the configuration in VuFind for data harvest from EPrints.  It is not whole lot different than [[how to index dspace with vufind|DSpace]].
+The [[https://www.eprints.org|EPrints]] repository is quite similar to [[indexing:dspace|DSpace]].
-On the EPrints side, the data is already exposed for harvesting in oai_dc, so there was no configuration needed there.  On VuFind, I did the following:
+On the EPrints side, the data is already exposed for harvesting in oai_dc, so no additional configuration is required to obtain metadata. You can follow these steps to ingest EPrints data into VuFind®:
 ===== 1. Set up OAI Harvester =====
-I created a section on oai.ini which looks something like this:

-The big thing that I discovered in this stage was that VuFind does not like full colon i.e. ":" so I had to use "-" as the delimeter between my namespace and eprints uuid i.e. nuimeprn- and not nuimeprn:
+Because colons in identifiers can cause problems, it is helpful to remap the prefix to use "-" as the delimiter the my namespace and EPrints uuid, i.e. nuimeprn- and not nuimeprn:
 ===== 2. Set up import properties =====
-I then copied the dspace.properities file and renamed it to eprints.properties.In this file I made the following changes:

 ===== 3. Set up import XSLT =====
-I then copied dspace.xsl and renamed it eprints.xsl.  Only change I made on this file is:
+You can also copy dspace.xsl to eprints.xsl.  Two small changes should cover the differences between DSpace and EPrints.
+First, set the record type to eprints:
 <code>
 <!-- RECORDTYPE -->
 <field name="recordtype">eprints</field>
+</code>
+Second, add support for URLs from the dc:relation field:
+<code>
+         <xsl:for-each select="dc:relation">
+            <field name="url">
+                   <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/>
+            </field>
+         </xsl:for-each>
+</code>
+===== 4. Set Up Change Tracking (optional) =====
+If you need to track record change dates (see [[tracking_record_changes|Tracking Record Changes]] for details), you need to do a couple of extra things:
+  * Uncomment the injectDate line in the oai.ini file section above.
+  * Add these lines to eprints.properties:
+<code>
+change_tracking_core = "biblio"
+change_tracking_date_tag_name = "datestamp"
 </code>
