Integrating IIIF annotations in DSpace

• Description:  Since 2017, 4Science has been working on implementing support for IIIF in DSpace to provide a better user experience in enjoying images, especially in the cultural heritage domain. To achieve this goal, a dedicated add-on has been implemented, easily integrated with a set of external Image Servers, such as Cantaloupe or Digilib. To enrich the content related to the digital cultural heritage managed within DSpace, we are now implementing workflows aimed at saving IIIF annotations created with Mirador and at relating them with all the information provided by metadata, fulltexts and entities. The proposed paper illustrates such workflows and how to relate annotations to each other and to other entities structured at data model level, in order to integrate them in the repository knowledge base.

DASH Stories: Implementing a qualitative feedback service in DSpace 8

• Description: This presentation will highlight Harvard’s institutional repository (DASH) qualitative feedback service, DASH Stories, and this service’s new configuration in DSpace version 8. Introduced in Harvard's DSpace instance in 2012, DASH Stories invites users to share brief narratives about how specific articles or open access has impacted their lives. With over 9,000 responses to date, these stories range from simple expressions of gratitude to poignant accounts of improved lives, access overcoming censorship, or meaningful human connections. Our talk will provide an overview of the DASH Stories service, demonstrate its new iteration in DASH’s newly migrated DSpace8 instance, and explore key development aspects. We will also highlight the key collaboration efforts between Harvard Library Open Scholarship and Research Data Services (OSRDS) and 4Science that drove this initiative forward.
