We are migrating from DSpace to external host, BePress. I've found how to export the items in each collection along with the metadata for each collection.
What isn't apparent, is how do you export the hierarchy?
For example, I can export the items for handle (10106/26887) and then the metadata for that collection. On the export of the metadata, the output includes the name of the Collection, Publications.
The hierarchy is actually:
Department of Curriculum and Instruction -> Daniel H. Robinson, Ph.D. -> Publications
[root@rc bin]# /ebs/uta-dspace/bin/dspace metadata-export -f /tmp/uta-dspace/26887.csv -i 10106/26887
**Exporting collection 'Publications' (10106/26887)**
[root@rc bin]# /ebs/uta-dspace/bin/dspace export -t COLLECTION -i 10106/26887 -d /tmp/uta-dspace/ -n 1
Exporting from collection: 10106/26887

How does one export the hierarchy "Department of Curriculum and Instruction -> Daniel H. Robinson, Ph.D. -> Publications"? I've looked through the dspace database but can't anywhere where the actual names are stored; guessing they're all hashed.
And yes, I understand the DSpace 6.3 is no longer officially support and we should upgrade.
