Virtual Sets: Separate the internal repository structure from the navigation structure | dspace-xmlui | Currently, Dspace’s hierarchical structure allows to share items between collections by explicitly declaring these relations on each item. However, DSpace does not allow to relate a collection or sub-community between two or more communities. Virtual Sets are arbitrary aggregations of Dspace Objects and criterias, composed of:
Virtual Sets in DSpace would allow the creation of complex navigation structures regardless of the hierarchical (perhaps administrative) structure of communities and collections. Structures, as described above, are supported in at least another repository software such as Fedora-based Hydra due to its generic object model. The initial implementation would affect the dspace-xmlui component. However, further extensions of this implementation would at least involve the modification of the dspace-api component too, possibly implementing the Virtual Sets as DSpace Objects to offer more orthogonal features like Virtual Sets backup, export and exposure through OAI-PMH. | |
Past Ideas for Potential DSpace GSoC projects
We have archives of all our Past GSoC Ideas Pages still available for reference/ideas. However, you should check with the available mentors before suggesting any of these older project descriptions. In some cases these projects may require rethinking to bring them up to date.
