Andalusian Health Repository: promoting the scientific health output among professionals and providing citizens with quality health information. In: OR2012 The 7th International Conference on Open Repositories; 2012 Jul 9-13; Edinburgh, Scotlandhttp://hdl.handle.net/10668/472Session UGD2B: DSpace Managers StrandThe Andalusian Public Health System (Sistema Sanitario Público de Andalucía -SSPA) Repository is the open environment where all the scientific output generated by the SSPA professionals, resulting from their medical care, research and administrative activities, is comprehensively collected and managed. This repository possesses special features which determined its development: the SSPA organization and its purpose as a health institution, the specific sets of documents that it generates and the stakeholders involved in it. The repository uses DSpace 1.6.2, to which several changes were implemented in order to achieve the SSPA initial goals and requirements. The main changes were: the addition of specific qualifiers to the Metadata Dublin Core scheme, the modification of the submission form, the integration of the MeSH Thesaurus as controlled vocabulary and the optimization of the advanced search tool. Another key point during the setting up of the repository was the initial batch ingest of the documents.enHealth repositoryQuality contentDSpace customizationMeSH integrationBatch ingestRepositorio de SaludCalidad del contenidoPersonalización de DSpaceIntegración MeSHCarga masivaMedical Subject Headings::Publication Characteristics::Publication Formats::CongressesMedical Subject Headings::Information Science::Information Science::Computing Methodologies::Software::Software Designconference outputopen access
