  1. A new User Interface based on Angular (to replace XMLUI and JSPUI). This work is going on in the "main" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
    1. The goal of the new UI is to implement all major features of both XMLUI and JSPUI in a single, modern UI. 
    2. An exhaustive list of all major features already in 7.0 can be found in the 7.0 Release Notes (for each Beta).
    3. NOTE: Some, lower-priority, minor DSpace 6 XMLUI or JSPUI features have been delayed for either 7.1 or 7.2 release (see sections below). This decision was made to make 7.0 available as soon as possible.
  2. A refactored/enhanced REST API (using modern REST best practices). This work is going on in the "main" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace
    1. Additionally, a new REST Contract (describing all API interactions) is being written at https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7ContractRestContract
  3. A new Configurable Entities object model, which allows for the creation of new "typed" Items, and storing relationships between Items.  This feature will allow for tighter integration with external identifier systems (e.g. ORCID), current research information systems (CRIS), journal publishing systems, etc. This work was completed by the DSpace 7 Entities Working Group.
    1. Early technical documentation is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wEmHirFzrY3qgGtRr2YBQwGOvH1IuTVGmxDIdnqvwxM/edit

Keep in mind, our User Interface Demo uses the REST API Demo as the backend.  So, any content created (by anyone) will immediately appear in both locations.
