(tick) Service Based API / Hibernate
  • See the wiki page: DSpace Service based api
  • Codebase is in this branch: https://github.com/KevinVdV/DSpace/tree/dspace-service-api
  • The dspace-api refactor is essentially complete (just a few outstanding Unit Tests).  But additional support will be needed to refactor/fix the various other modules to properly utilize the newly refactored API
  • If this is generally approved, @mire has promised to develop even more documentation & training materials to allow other developers to get up to speed quickly.
  • Note: this work also looks like it will resolve the following tickets as "byproducts" of the refactor:

    • Allows for support of additional Database types (e.g. MySQL) via Hibernate. This comes up as an occasional request
    • Begins the development of a true "Business Logic Layer" (an often discussed topic in DSpace Developer Meetings)

(tick) AWS S3 Bitstream Storage

A refactor of the Bitstream Storage Manager to allow different implementations for file/bitstream storage. The primary motivation is leverage a cloud service, such as Amazon S3, which offers easy management, infinite scalability, and low pricing. Other storage implementations could be built off of this work. This follows the DSpace 2.0 goal of having a Pluggable Assetstore.

(tick) Move LNI into a separate project

As LNI is not in wide use anymore, and it was disabled by default in 5.0, it probably would be best to migrate it to a separate GitHub Project. Anyone who wishes to still use LNI can still install it separately. But, it would no longer be provided out-of-the-box.
