- FIXED IN 1.6.0
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[last updated: 16 Apr 2010\] |
DSpace 1.6.0 now includes an improved Statistics engine based on Apache Solr. These statistics are gathered by a new "solr" webapp, and displayed for Communities, Collections and Items in either the XMLUI or JSPUI. For more details see the DSpace 1.6.0 Documentation.
In addition to the supported Statistics in DSpace 1.6.0, there are various unsupported
The DSpace JSPUI has some very basic statistics available out-of-the-box. However, they are lacking in many ways, and do not have any means of filtering out web-spiders, etc.
There are various statistics "plugins" or "addons" that you can install in DSpace, but nothing that has been truly accepted at this time. The following Wiki pages describe ongoing Statistics workthese unsupported addons:
- StatisticsAddOn - Developed by Universidade of Minho, and seems to be one of best available
- Google + Summer + of + Code + 2007 + Statistics - Work by Federico Paparoni out of Google+Summer+of+Code '07
- DspaceStatistics - Out of date proposals for various statistical packages
- Modular + Usage + Statistics - Proposal for a general view event "tap" usable for gathering statistics
- Statistical + Improvements + for + v1.6 - Ideas for short-term improvement.
Versioning

DSpace currently does not support versioning of items. However, there are some general plans in place to hopefully implement this feature for a 2.0 release, based on the work that came out of Google+Summer+of+Code+2007_Versioning
Distributed Community / Collection Management
...
DSpace currently only supports minimal distributed management at a Collection level, in the form of Collection Administrators. However, at this point in time, there is no such thing as a Community Administrator to allow for distributed management of individual Communities.
The closest anyone has gotten to implement this feature is in the now out-of-date patch:

Embargo

DSpace 1.6.0 now allows for Delegated Community and Collection Management. For more details see the DSpace 1.6.0 Documentation.

DSpace 1.6.0 now comes with an Embargo Facility. For more details see the DSpace 1.6.0 Documentation.
There are also numerous unsupported addons and plugins for previous versions of DSpaceThere have been numerous attempts at implementing simple embargo functionality into the DSpace Submission process. Among them, including:
However, perhaps the most substantial embargo work has come from Elliot Metsger (JHU), who is working on an Embargo module for DSpace 1.5+:

There have been many requests for hints/tips on integrating streaming audio/video into DSpace (on listservs). But, as of yet, there have been no references written up.

There are a few projects which have attempted (or are attempting) a theses & dissertation workflow within DSpace:

Support for hierarchical LDAP servers - FIXED IN 1.5.2
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[last updated: 8 July 2009 |
\] |
The LDAP support currently in DSpace only supports a flat authentication structure. Many institutions use a hierarchical strcture which is slightly more complex.
- There is a patch on the queue that addresses this, but also tries to do a few other things so this needs teasing out
- Robin from Edinburgh has also written a patch for this.
- Stuart Lewis will volunteer to look into this.
Some LDAP-enabled applications also allow the setting of multiple LDAP servers with different settings. Is this a requirement for DSpace?
Better Windows O/S support

DSpace 1.6.0 now comes with a new 'dspace' command shell. All commands can be run identically on Unix or Windows systems using this new {{\[dspace\]/bin/dspace}} commandline tool. |
DSpace runs fine on Windows, but is still a little bit Unix oriented. Most of the scripts that come bundled are unix shell scripts.

Branding (name of service)

\[last updated: 15 Apr 2008 |

Most installations of DSpace brand their service, so 'MyDSpace' becomes 'MyXYZ'. At present to do this you have to do a lot of search and replacing in messages.properties. It would be good if a service name could be set in dspace.cfg.

Hit highlighting in search results

Highlight hits of searched-for words in search results. I think Lucene has a package for this and there is a patch of the queue that uses that.
OAI

The DSpace OAI offers only very basic sets out-of-the-box. Sets are always directly linked to DSpace collections. If customized sets are required, these can only be offered through collection mapping or (core) code changes. This requirement is essential for the DRIVER OAI harvester and some other OAI harvesters
