Problem description

The DSpace 7 submission gives depositors no pointer to our recommended file formats. The DSpace 5 upload step did: its file help text (xmlui.Submission.submit.UploadStep.file_help) said "When uploading language resources, please try to use one of the recommended formats mentioned in LRT Standards", linking the old CLARIN "Standards for LRT" PDF.

The static FAQ ("What submissions do we accept?") links the generic CLARIN SIS recommended-formats list, while our own curated recommendations are on the LINDAT centre page in the SIS, https://standards.clarin.eu/sis/views/view-centre.xq?id=LINDAT. The lindat.cz FAQ pages already link the centre page.

This matters for the CoreTrustSeal renewal, which states that depositors are pointed to our format recommendations during deposit and cites the centre page.

Analysis

  • submission.sections.upload.info (en, cs): a second sentence is appended to the existing upload step info alert, with the FAQ's wording and a link to the centre page. The alert already renders its content as HTML, so no template or code change is needed. Other language files are left unchanged.
  • src/static-files/faq.html and src/static-files/cs/faq.html: only the link target changes, from recommended-formats-with-search.xq to view-centre.xq?id=LINDAT.

Checks: both json5 files parse and pass eslint; section-upload.component.spec.ts and alert.component.spec.ts pass.

Manual Testing (if applicable)

  • Start a new submission, open the upload step in English and Czech, and check that the info alert shows the new sentence and the link opens the LINDAT centre page in a new tab.
  • Open /static/faq in English and Czech and check the link under "What submissions do we accept?".

Add a sentence to the upload step info alert (en, cs) linking the LINDAT
centre page in the CLARIN Standards Information System, restoring the
format hint the DSpace 5 upload step had. Repoint the static FAQ
(en, cs) from the generic SIS recommended-formats list to the same
centre page.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Active locale catalogs other than English and Czech still lack the upload-step format recommendation.
