In April-May 2021, all DSpace Steering & Leadership members were surveyed on the features not yet implemented in 7.0. They were asked to rank those features on behalf of their institution(s) they represent. In June 2021, a subset of those members compiled the results into 5 "tiers", based on the results of that survey. These "tiers" provide the priority of every outstanding feature, and map to a rough plan for releases 7.1 through 7.5. Features are also ranked within a "tier" based on their number (with #1 being the highest priority within that tier). |

The DSpace 7 Working Group will formalize be formalizing these rough tiers into a Roadmap for each 7.x release. Keep in mind, some features may be moved around slightly in the final Roadmap (e.g. in some scenarios it may make sense to build related features together). Additionally, some 7.x releases may include bug fixes, code cleanup/refactors or features not yet listed below. However, we'll strive to get these features implemented in priority order. The goal is to spread this work over several releases (likely at least 5), in order to get higher priority features out as quickly as possible. The release timeline is TBD, but it may be similar to the "Staged Beta Release" process (see above), where we released 5 Betas in a little over a year (averaging a new release every few months). |
Tier 1: Highest Priority after 7.0
...
- (Admin) Ability to preview Batch Metadata changes during import of CSV, similar to 6.x. In 7.0, it is possible to import a CSV from the Admin Toolbar, but you are not shown a preview of pending changes.
- (General) Request a Copy, similar to how it worked in 6.x
- (NEW) External lookup of metadata using a search or identifier (e.g. DOI) to enrich an in-progress submission. In 7.0, external searches/lookups can only be done from the MyDSpace page to start a new submission.
- (Submission) Embargo entire Item (including metadata) via an "Access" section, similar to 6.x. In 7.0, only individual Bitstreams/Files can be embargoed during a submission.
- (Admin) Collection harvested from an OAI-PMH endpoint (like in 6.x XMLUI), and kick off a new harvest from the UI.
- (Submission) Create a new Item Version, similar to 6.x (as either an administrator or a submitter). In 7.0, viewing Item Versions is supported, but new versions cannot be created.
- (Workflow) Preview an item during workflow approval (via a button/popup), to allow for easier accepting/rejecting, similar to 6.x
- (General) Feedback form, similar to 6.x
...
- (General) Support for hierarchical controlled vocabularies in Search interfaces, similar to 6.x. In 7.0, this exists in Submission hierarchical controlled vocabularies are supported in the Submission form but not in Search.
- (General) List of Recently Added Items (Recent Submissions) on homepage, similar to 6.x. In 7.0, this is only available on Collection homepages.
- (Submission) SHERPA/RoMEO integration, similar to 6.x
- (NEW) Export all personal data for your user account (compliance for privacy)
- (NEW) Extracting metadata from a bibliographic file (e.g. BibTex, PDF) to enrich an in-progress submission. In 7.0, metadata extraction only will occur when uploading a file from the MyDSpace page to start a new submission.
- (Submission) Supervision Orders (similar to 6.x JSPUI)
- (General) Support "Browse By" configurations for custom browse options. In 7.0, "Browse By" options shown in the UI are hardcoded when they should be read from configuration. (May move to "Medium priority"?)
- (Admin) Administrative Control Panel (similar to 6.x XMLUI) (May move to "Medium priority"?)
- (Submission) Support for type-based submission forms (<type-bind> configuration), similar to 6.x. (May move to "Medium priority"?)
- (Submission) Make an item "private" during submission, similar to 6.x
- (NEW) Signposting support, aligning with recommendations from the COAR Next Generation Repositories Report (May move to "Medium priority"?)
- (Integrations) OpenSearch API support, similar to 6.x (May move to "Medium priority"?)
