Next releases

DSpace-CRIS 7 2023.02.06 is expected by late summer of 2024 if no urgent issues are reported first.

Update the correction and suggestion services with the result of the Openaire ELD Advanced project https://eosc-dih.eu/eld-advance/ (postponed from 2023.02.00 to wait for review of the corresponding plain DSpace PRs)
Enhanced Signposting https://signposting.org/ support for DSpace-CRIS
Improved Audit System: who, what, when with details up to which metadata has been changed from which value to which value
Support for multilanguage hierarchical metadata: currently metadata within a nested (i.e. Orgunit name of an affiliation, role, etc.) are not shown according to the current UI language
Mechanism to track check / timestamp outside of metadata: several features need to store a timestamp as a technical metadata on the item to allow incremental processing. This is the case for example for bibliometric update, bibliographic scan, sync procedures. We will introduce a dedicated mechanism outside of metadata to avoid "update" of the item when no strictly needed
Administer mode to edit metadata of any DSpace Object (Community, Collection, Bundle, Bitstream, EPerson, Group)
Expose relation over the SPARQL/RDF endpoint
