The DSpace development roadmap should be reviewed to assure that its content is still relevant for the DSpace community.

Dspace 7 Gap Analysis

The work group began identifying areas that could be important to include a post-DSpace 7.2 release.

  • Full ORCID-Integration
  • Automated content enrichment and support of identifiers and services (Scholix, Citations, OpenAIRE, ROR ...) – Overall concept for identifier integration. Tracking citations has been mentioned as an especially important requirement
  • Better support of persistent identifiers / PIDs - For example: DOI integration with CrossRef
  • Licensing and rights (https://writemd.rz.tuhh.de/FjBJ09zJTGKjbQX03P6PNA?both) – Adding more licensing and rights options other than Creative Commons, supporting different rights for different items / files
  • Digital preservation integration and better functionality for preservation preparation, integration with preservation tools
  • Standard (e.g. COUNTER) compliant statistics
  • Integrated viewer/s, data visualization tools (IIIF, CKAN, etc.)
  • Better large size / structured file management – e.g. “Request a copy” functionality
  • Support for depositing files in folder / hierarchical structure and hierarchical data
  • S3 / cloud support (https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) – For easier migration when moving away from DSpace – Separating DSpace content from hosting
  • Module framework and registry / “customization catalog” – Easier way to contribute and add specific customizations (from a previous DSpace roadmap: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Design+-+Module+Framework+and+Registry)
  • Accessibility: Compatibility with international standards (for platform and content)
  • Simplified theming management for institutions

Next Steps

Engaging stakeholders: Discussing the future road map ideas, at first with DSpace service providers and then with the larger DSpace community – Scott will come up with a couple of options to share information / get feedback from DSpace service providers.

Looking at road maps of other repository tools / services (All).
