• DRI Schema - Digital Repository Interface (DRI) XML schema, which is the "abstract representation of a single repository page". The DRI document is XML that contains all of the information (metadata) available for display on a given page within the XMLUI. This information includes:
  • Metadata elements (described in METS, MODS, DSpace Internal Metadata (DIM), Qualified Dublin Core, etc.)
  • Structural elements (described in TEI light)
  • For more specific information about DRI Schema along with examples, see DRI Schema Reference.
• #Aspects - One or more aspects are enabled at a given time. Generally speaking an aspect implements a set of related features within the XMLUI. More specifically, the enabled aspects are what build the DRI document. So, Aspects are the only things that can change the structure of the DRI document (or add/remove content to/from DRI)
  • Aspects apply to all pages across your entire DSpace site. Each aspect must take a valid DRI document as its input, and also output a valid DRI document.
  • Aspects usually are written in Java (and controlled by a Cocoon "sitemap.xmap"). However, Aspects can also be written in XSLT (provided that the input and output are both valid DRI documents)
• #Themes - One or more themes are enabled at a given time. Themes are in charge of stylizing content into a particular look & feel. More specifically, a theme is what transforms a DRI document into XHTML (and adds any CSS, javascript, images, etc).
  • A single Theme may apply to your entire DSpace site, just a specific Community or Collection (and all members of that Community/Collection), or just a specific page.
  • A Theme may consist of one or more of the following: an XSLT stylesheet, CSS stylesheets, images, other static resourcsresources.
  • More information on creating a theme is available at: #Creating a New Theme
