A simple tool 'CurationCli' provides access to CS via command line. This tool bears the name 'curate' in the DSpace launcher. For example, to perform a virus check on collection '4':

In the admin UI

In the XMLUI,  there is a 'Curate' tab (appearing within the 'Edit  Community/Collection/Item') that exposes a drop-down list of configured tasks, with a button to 'perform' the task, or queue it for later operation (see section below).  You may filter out some of the defined tasks (not appropriate for UI use), by means of a configuration property. This property also permits you to assign to the task a 'prettier' name than the PluginManager task name. The property resides in {{\[dspace\]/config/modules/curate.cfg}}:

ui.tasknames = \
     profileformats = Profile Bitstream Formats, \
     requiredmetadata = Check for Required Metadata

When a task is selected from the drop-down list and performed, the tab displays both a phrase interpreting the 'status code' of the task execution, and the 'result' message if any has been defined. When the task has been queued, an acknowlegement appears instead. You may configure the words used for status codes in curate.cfg (for clarity, different language, etc):

ui.statusmessages = \
    -3 = Unknown Task, \
    -2 = No Status Set, \
    -1 = Error, \
     0 = Success, \
     1 = Fail, \
     2 = Skip, \
     other = Invalid Status

In workflow

CS provides the ability to attach any number of tasks to standard DSpace workflows. Using a configuration file (workflow-curation.xml), you can declaratively (without coding) wire tasks to any step in a workflow. An example:
