Other Records

Comments

• The URL to the DSpace sitemaps

• Default Access Group
• (NOTE: blank lines are not allowable in a group record)
• Disable access to Discovery search and filters; admin pages; processes; submission; workspace; workflow & profile page
• Crawlers should be able to access entity pages, but not the facet search links present on entity pages
• Optionally uncomment the following line ONLY if sitemaps are working
• and you have verified that your site is being indexed correctly.
• Disallow: /browse/*
• If you have configured DSpace (Solr-based) Statistics to be publicly
• accessible, then you may not want this content to be indexed
• Disallow: /statistics

• Section for misbehaving bots
• The following directives to block specific robots were borrowed from Wikipedia's robots.txt
• advertising-related bots:
• Crawlers that are kind enough to obey, but which we'd rather not have
• unless they're feeding search engines.
• Some bots are known to be trouble, particularly those designed to copy
• entire sites. Please obey robots.txt.
• Misbehaving: requests much too fast:
• If your DSpace is going down because of someone using recursive wget,
• you can activate the following rule.
• If your own faculty is bringing down your dspace with recursive wget,
• you can advise them to use the --wait option to set the delay between hits.
• User-agent: wget
• Disallow: /
• The 'grub' distributed client has been *very* poorly behaved.
• Doesn't follow robots.txt anyway, but...
• Hits many times per second, not acceptable
• http://www.nameprotect.com/botinfo.html
• A capture bot, downloads gazillions of pages with no public benefit
