Reporting

We are often asked to provide reports about the repository, its contents, and traffic. We should be able to report on the following:

Content Statistics

• Number of items in the repository
• Number of files in the repository
• Storage footprint of all files
• number of items by mime type
• storage footprint by mime type
• Number of items each collection
• Number of files in each collection
• Storage footprint of each collection

Traffic Statistics

• Number and place of origin for Unique, non-spider visits to the repository for a given period
• Number and place of origin for Unique, non-spider visits to all items in a collection for a given period
• Number and place of origin for Unique, non-spider visits to each item for a given period (I'm not really sure about item/versus component)
• Number and place of origin for file views for each component for a given period
• Direct file download requests that do not originate from the repository (will likely require custom event code)

Ideally, I would like to be able to automate the scheduled generation of this report to facilitate reporting on change over time. I intend that we should be able to display traffic statistics in the repository like http://repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt/stats?level=general&type=access&page=downviews-series

I would also like to be able to automate sending periodic messages to faculty and staff about the traffic their materials in the repository have received.
