Ongoing Proposed and Active Development Areas in DSpace. Please join in! |
If your work on DSpace involved any of the aspects below, please go to the relevant page to see what's going on, and add yourself to the list of interested parties! (Just add your name to the bottom of the page.) The goal of the DSpace Community Process is to establish an organizational process to the creation of new Proposals, Special topic Meetings, and their eventual "graduation" into DSpace Development Projects with scheduled integration timeframes to get into DSpace.
...
Please work through these idea pages (children of the DevelopmentAreas page) and the rest of the hardcoded list below to consolidate the sections of this page into labels for above grouping.

Everything Under this Point needs to get reorganized and labeled. Use appropriate labels so that project proposals and active work areas show up where they should above.

Architecture
Work towards the DSpace 2.0 architecture: DSpace 2.0 Original Proposal
Storage refactoring
- AssetStore - standards-based AIP storage layer for easier preservation
- AipPrototype - (OBSOLETE - AIP Backup and Restore has replaced this). Please use prototype AIP implementation, above the asset store layer, for use on DSpace 1.4/1.5. Emphasis is on preservation and custody transfer of archived objects.
- PluggableStorage - allow easier integration of different asset store backends. Prototypes within.
- DAO Prototype - removes storage layer depedendent code from core classes. Should make it easier to port DSpace to other database platforms.

User interface framework
- UI Framework
- Internationalization Support (I18nSupport) - Internationalisation progress
...
- EventMechanism - Adding event mechanism to the data model
- EventSystemPrototype - prototype implementation (for DSpace 1.5) of an event driver
- ScalabilityIssues1.4
- CleanupTasks - General tasks to ensure the architecture/code is robust and consistent
- PersistentIdentifiers - making DSpace less dependent on the Handle system.
- BitstreamFormat Renovation - new design and implementation of data format technical metadata for Bitstreams, to better support digital preservation.
Features/functionality
- DspaceStatisticsDSpaceStatistics
- PersistentIdentifiers - Making identifiers 'pluggable' (Handles, ARKs...)
- NetworkInterfaces - e.g. Web Services, WebDAV etc.
- HistorySystem
- VersioningSupport Item Versioning Support - approaches to supporting multiple versions over time (i.e. editions, as opposed to multiple formats of the same version)
- BitstreamRelationships - proposal to encode relationships between bitstreams explicitly in the data model.
- Citation Cover Page - generating a Citation Cover Page to PDF's downloaded from DSpace on-the-fly
- Citations/references/originality reports - generating citations/references lists for end user, as well as list of sources with similar content and % of similarity
Metadata
- MetadataSupport for non-Dublin Core schemas
- XmlNamespaces
- DspaceIntermediateMetadata DSpaceIntermediateMetadata - XML format for metadata tables for XSLT transforms
- CrosswalkPlugins
- PackagerPlugins
- MetadataDiscovery
- Attaching "policy" metadata to objects, SIPs (experimental)
- DSpaceMETSSIPProfile (for use with the Packager Plugin, via the Lightweight Network Interface and other package-based applications)
- DSpaceMETSAIPProfile (used by AIP Prototype)
- ItemBatchUpdate

[DSDOC17:AIP Backup and Restore] \ - Based on the initial [AipPrototype] implementation (by Larry Stone), but only details with exporting/importing Archival Information Packages which describe the entire content hierarchy (Community/Collection/Item) within DSpace. Emphasis is on creating a better "backup" and restore solution, where an entire DSpace could be restored from a directory of these AIPs. \ [_Released in DSpace 1.7.0_ \]Wiki Markup - AipBackupRestoreDiscussion - Discussion about the AIP Backup and Restore feature released in 1.7
...
- Installer Prototype - Prototype for a new "easy" installer, which will better automate the Installation/Upgrade processes for DSpace.
Big Data
- Ingesting Large Bitstreams - uploading big data sets via HTTP
