Page History

 Features have been grouped into rough "categories" as follows:

• Structure: Features that relate to the architecture/structure of content within DSpace
• Administrative: Features which are mostly administrative functions/activities
• End User: Features relating to how end users interact with the system (deposit, download, search)
• Integrations: Features which are either used by external systems (or programs) or interact themselves with an external system
• Stats/Metrics: Features relating to metrics or statistics around content and its usage

The "Survey Average Importance" represents average importance ranking of all respondents for a single feature from the 2013-14 DSpace Vision Survey (Survey results linked off of: DSpace 2013 Vision Discussions)

• Very Important = 10 points
• Moderately important = 5 points
• Not important = 0 points

So, for example, "Community and Collection Hierarchy" had 50 respondents rank it "Very important" (10 points each), 37 rank it "Moderately important" (5 points each), and 6 rank it "Not important" (0 points).

This is an average score of ((10 x 50) + (5 x 37)) / (50 + 37 + 6) = 7.37 average (which is midway between a "moderately important" and "very important" ranking)

A spreadsheet was used to calculate all average scores. See the attached DSpace_Vision_Survey_Feature_Rankings.xls
