2014 Meeting objectives
From August until December 2014, the monthly DCAT meetings are centered around defining, refining and prioritizing DSpace use cases.
These use cases are expected to have an important impact on the medium and long term roadmap of DSpace, starting with DSpace 6 in 2015.
August Meeting Agenda: End user use cases
During the august meeting we will be discussing use cases that affect users who use DSpace:
- as anonymous, non-logged in users
- as registered, logged-in users who do not have any specific administrative rights or responsibilities. For such users, submission can fall under the use cases.
Read more about certain use cases that were already identified: Use Cases
Discussed use cases
- Seeing only those items listed the user has access to, through all of the DSpace interfaces (honouring permissions) - Terry Brady
- Viewing video from DSpace pages, for videos hosted in DSpace - Terry Brady
- Viewing video from DSpace pages, for videos hosted elsewhere (internal streaming server, youtube, vimeo) - Terry Brady, Kate Dohe, Kim Shepherd
- Permission handling with regards to streaming video - Terry Brady, Kim Shepherd
- Accessing documents in the browser with page-turning functionality - Terry Brady
- A consistent faceted browsing experience across all of DSpace (eliminating Browse/Discovery inconsistencies) - Daryl Grenz
- Easier access to items related to a specific metadata value for another item (clickable author names & other authorities) - Daryl Grenz & Jim Ottaviani
- Getting a clearer representation of the different roles a faculty member had in the creation of an item (faculty profile page - difference advisor/creator) - Daryl Grenz
- Editing my own archived submissions - Yu "Lilly" Li & Sarah Potvin
- Tagging photos and other forms of crowdsourced metadata - David Schuster
- Enhanced visual access to collections with images or rich thumbnail representations of other files - David Schuster
- Discovery and retrieval of content on mobile devices
- It was also noted that there are administrative use cases on mobile.
- File upload first submission and automated metadata extraction - Kim Shepherd

As requested on the meeting invitation, here are some authentication related use cases that I pulled from our DSpace test plan. I hope this is useful.
Bram Luyten (Atmire)
Thanks Terry! Since these originate from your test plan, does that mean that you have all of these use cases implemented right now?
Which ones should still flow back into the core DSpace according to you?
Terrence W Brady
I added notes to convey the support level in place base on my testing.
Bram Luyten (Atmire)
A few areas I'd love to discuss if there is time:
Multi-lingual use cases
Licensing use cases
Authentication use cases
Author profile use case
Submission automatisation use cases
Daryl Grenz
This will be my first time to attend one of these calls. Here are a few things I would like to talk about, if possible:
Browsing/Discovery Integration - Navigational Use Cases:
Faculty Profile Use Case:
Thanks, Daryl

The following comments came in through email from David Schuster at TWU who couldn't make it:
I am sorry I won’t be able to attend today 2 other meetings have popped up…
A couple of items I am interested in.
Hide restricted items from the front page
Being able to not show restricted items in the recent page on the main page. I know I can restrict this to the collection, but still I like to have that what’s new on the first page, but there are some collections we can’t automatically display everything for so they are restricted. But they still show on the first page when submitted. Does that make sense?
Tagging - crowdsourcing additional metadata AFTER items have already been archived.
I like the possibility of tagging. We are going to be loading some community photos, and it would be great to be able to send it out to our Alumni and say do you know who or when this was taken and get them to help with some of the metadata.
Photo carousel for designated collections
I also would like to see the photo carousel work for designated collections if possible like they have in the Knowledge bank.
HTML 5 streaming video
HTML 5 video automatically setup would be fantastic for streaming video!
Ok off to meetings! Thanks for your help and this great product.
Yu "Lilly" Li
Could you please add this item to your discussion -
Individual submitters should have rights to edit their own submissions. For example, for the "Faculty Publications" collection, each faculty member should have rights to edit their own submissions.
Thanks!!
Lilly

Are there any other features that DSpace is lacking in, that causes you to consider Digital Common's BePress, ContentDM, or an alternative repository system? Such as improved image management.
Also, is the lack of thumbnails after submission a strike against DSpace, i.e. having to wait for some nightly process to generate the thumbnail.
Is there interest in a Google Maps view, of collections with lat/long metadata?
Should the discovery faceting have a better user experience, such as a date histogram?
I have some examples of a BookReader, and a (progressive download) video player: http://peterpants.blogspot.com/2014/07/improving-presentation-of-content-in.html
Also, where are users looking for latest developments in DSpace for enhancing their DSpace? Are you waiting for the latest release of DSpace to contain the feature out-of-the-box, or would you be actively looking for people's customizations to DSpace.
With the REST API, you could build a new user interface on top of DSpace, that could be completely custom, and not bound to any DSpace existing user interfaces legacy setup.

A curation task, command line and GUI for both JSPUI and XMLUI, that applies a cover page to applicable bitstreams to identify where the item was downloaded from amongst other things. I believe some code has already been written by Peter Dietz for such a function.
Hilton Gibson
Most definitely ORCID integration using Authority Control and system integration with VIVO using the ORCID ID's.
Also a much easier way to create to vocabularies. See: http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Controlled_Vocabulary
Perhaps an open data server for vocabularies compatible in format with DSpace.
Also the means to display the top 10 downloaded items per site/community/collection.
Also integration with Altmetrics if DSpace is not integrated with VIVO. Does VIVO integrate with Altmetrics?
Also a much simpler way for Repository Managers to setup discovery search/browse indexes!
Also a much simpler way to setup the Mirage2 theme using a GUI perhaps?
Also ,can we start user documentation directed at repository managers and librarians etc.. Something like a user manual that is not technical.
Also the ability to export search results in appropriate formats, eg: CSV, BibTex etc...

Perhaps an open data server for vocabularies compatible in format with DSpace.
Hilton have you tried ASKOSI server? we are implementing it when the vocabulary is big (> 1000 terms) or multilingual or is delvered directly in SKOS...
Hilton Gibson
Hi Emilio
Do you have detailed documentation somewhere. I can add it to: http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Controlled_Vocabulary
Cheers

The listed use cases are now linked out to the specific Use Cases space on the wiki.
Discussion on these topics should ideally continue on those pages.
Anyone can add use case pages. If they are end user related, they should be labeled as uc-end-user.
Hilton Gibson - Great use cases, but I didn't have the time yet to add specific pages for those, please feel free to go ahead. I do note that some are more administrative use cases and not necessarily end users
Terrence W Brady - I personally think the honouring permissions problems are no-brainers and should be fixed. In that sense, I think they may better be broken up into different JIRA reports so that devs can start to hack on these individually.
Terrence W Brady
Bram Luyten (Atmire), I will review the bugs and link/create relevant tickets for these items. I will add a comment to this page to capture the relevant tickets.
Terrence W Brady
JIRA tickets have been referenced in my notes above.
emilio lorenzo
I am sorry but I couldn´t connect to any of the two meetings (problems with http://www.readytalk.com/intl refusing to accept the access codes), Anyway, I will try to follow the discussions on these pages.
And congratulations for the excellent work made by the participants and organizers
