-Val to start new review process w/DGOC on JIRA new feature requests - review items, try to get more info and define feature, promote/discuss with community and encourage JIRA voting
Possible quick wins
...
| Note |
|---|
These are features where either some work is already done, there is an issue |
...
in JIRA (preferrably with code), or it might be relatively easy to do |
...
. There's no promise that they could all be implemented by the next version of DSpace (1.7) – but, hopefully a few could be targeted. |
- Admin or depositor tool for re-ordering the bitstreams in an existing item - fields displayed on the simple item record and ability to globally change the location of the parts of an item record - move the bitstream links from bottom to top of record
...
- Already in JIRA, and tentatively scheduled for 1.7 : http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-192
...
...
- Embargo out-of-the-box configuration (Leonie Hayes/Univ of Auckland, Jim Ottaviani/Univ of Michigan, Alvin Hutchinson/Smithsonian)
- have it turned on by default
- possibly implement a full embargo where item is submitted and assigned a persistent URL, but no metadata or bitstream is visiable or searchable
- have an embargo that allows temporary access to a bitstreem via a URL emailed to the requestor
...
- Type-based submission - different submission processes for Theses versus papers versus presentations, etc (Ronee Francis/Vanderbilt)
...
- Already in JIRA, and tentatively scheduled for 1.7 : http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-464
...
...
- Ability to isolate a single bitstream entry from admin interface --where the file is located in the asset store (Ronee Francis/Vanderbilt Univ)
...
- This issue is not yet in JIRA, but it should be relatively simple to add this information to the Admin Interface, ?BROAD APPEAL?
...
...
- Admin GUI interface for configuration Import functionality to harvest content from PubMed Central (Julie Speer/Georgia Tech)
...
- Already in JIRA: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-540
- This feature is also documented on our Wiki – but may need updates for 1.6: PopulateMetadataFromPubMed
- Already in JIRA: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-540
- Tombstone functionality upon item withdrawal that includes a pull down for specifying reason for withdrawal, showing relevant metadata to confirm item's identity, (Jim Ottaviani/Univ of Michigan)
...
- Already in JIRA: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-429
...
- However, the JIRA issue is missing code – we need code to review/adapt before we would be able to release this in out-of-the-box DSpace
- Format checking at time of bitstream deposit to verify that a file is in a specific format
...
- Some Curation functionality is being prepared for DSpace 1.7: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/CurationTaskProposal
...
- It has yet to be determined which Curation functionality will be ready for 1.7
...
- , and which will need to wait for future versions of DSpace.
- Batch sub-community and collection creation - it would be nice to batch-create the sub-communities and collections from a csv file – similar to the batch metadata import (Richard Jizba/Creighton Univ)
...
- ?LEONIE CAN YOU DO THIS WITH BATCH METADATA EDITING?
...
- Stats package from Univ of Minho incorporated as a stats option, Eloy expressed interest in providing as an option
...
- NOTE: Minho developers would need to work with the DSpace Committers/Developers to ensure their stats package is compatible with current versions of DSpace.
- @mire stats package improvements - are they planning on contributing any improvements to the 1.6 stats package? Are there any other improvements from the community for the 1.6 stats package?
Likely longer term development required
