Commenting

The Commenting add-on consists in a set of classes, servlets and custom tags that bring informal communication capabilities to the DSpace environment. The informal communication is assured by a threaded forum that can be attached to any DSpace resource: web-page, community, collection, submitted item or e-person. The add-on allows comments to be inserted by anonymous users as well as by authenticated ones. Functionality for reviewing comments is also provided with the add-on.

Lightweight Network Interface

A simple but comprehensive network interface that was developed as part of the CWSpace project. It was designed to be complete enough for most programmatic uses of the DSpace API, particularly submitting and extracting archived materials as packages or byte streams.

Request Copy


The purpose of this feature is to increase both the content deposited in an IR and its immediate usability by providing a way to accommodate the (frequently unfounded) worries of authors and their institutions about copyright infringement during any publisher embargo periods on public self-archiving, by creating a semi-automated mechanism whereby would-be users can request and authors can email an individual copy of a full-text deposited with access set as A.
packaged for 1.4.x, but runs on 1.5.1 as well

Semantic Search for DSpace


Semantic Search allows reasoning-based search and retrieval of DSpace content, using Semantic Web technologies. Using a technique known as semantic profiling it allows inference-based search and knowledge discovery that would otherwise be impossible.

Statistics

An add-on to the DSpace platform that allows gathering, processing and presenting usage, content and administrative statistics. While the development was done to meet the specific needs of Reposit¢riUM at the University of Minho, the system is completely adjustable to other environments as its components can easily be configured, changed or extended, to respond to different information needs.

Web of Communications

Lightweight JHOVE format validator and virus check


This patch uses JHOVE to provide rough-and-ready format checking by identifying that the file/bitstream extension matches formats verifiable by JHOVE. (Currently DSpace accepts a deposit's file extension as gospel, so a user could tack a ?.txt' extension onto a GIF and DSpace would assign the incorrect format to the file based on that incorrect extension.) It also checks the file for the presence of viruses.

Tombstoning


When an item is withdrawn, the user selects from 3 reasons for placing the item in tombstone: 1. Removed from view by legal order; 2. Removed from view by the [authority doing removal]; 3. Removed from view at request of the author.

Extending metadata schema support in DSpace through DF/Semantic Web technologies. SIMILE seeks to enhance inter-operability among digital assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, metadata, and services. A key challenge is that the collections which must inter-operate are often distributed across individual, community, and institutional stores. We seek to be able to provide end-user services by drawing upon the assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, and metadata held in such stores. (SMILE related) Richard Rodgers, DSpace Semantic Web RDF data from DSpace, drop down browse, base on RDF.
