AssetStore - standards-based AIP storage layer for easier preservation
AipPrototype - (OBSOLETE - AIP Backup and Restore has replaced this). Please use prototype AIP implementation, above the asset store layer, for use on DSpace 1.4/1.5. Emphasis is on preservation and custody transfer of archived objects.
PluggableStorage - allow easier integration of different asset store backends. Prototypes within.
DAO Prototype - removes storage layer depedendent code from core classes. Should make it easier to port DSpace to other database platforms.

AIP Backup and Restore - Based on the initial AipPrototype implementation (by Larry Stone), but only details with exporting/importing Archival Information Packages which describe the entire content hierarchy (Community/Collection/Item) within DSpace. Emphasis is on creating a better "backup" and restore solution, where an entire DSpace could be restored from a directory of these AIPs. [ Released in DSpace 1.7.0 ]
