Archival Information Package (AIP) Backup & Restore process. Allows for a backup of DSpace into a generic METS-based structure, that can be used to migrate DSpace content to another system that supports AIP's (DSpace or non-DSpace). DuraCloud is an extention of this as one could then backup the AIP to the cloud storage.
Added by Tim Donohue (DuraSpace)


Curation System , a framework for building and running tasks to help a Curator preserve and improve your repository contents.
Tasks can be run on communities, collections, and items through the command line for cron-tasks, or through the User Interface for admins.
The initial tasks available are:* Profile Bitstream Formats -- counts the number of bitstreams that share the same file format extension. 

  • Virus Scan -- inspect the bitstreams with a virus scanner (ClamAV) to detect if they contain viruses
  • Check for Required Metadata -- checks that item metadata has values for all fields marked as required in the input-form
    Added by Richard Rodgers (MIT)


Automated Unit Testing of core code -- helps the developers ensure that DSpace is as bug free and stable as possible. Unit Testing coupled with continuous integration on our bamboo server allows us to validate every change to the DSpace code base. Thus letting us know immediately if something changed broke another feature.
Added by Pere Villega, a product of Google Summer of Code 2010 (mentor Stuart Lewis).

 

Improved Google Scholar metadata exposure. Additional citation_ tags have been exposed to allow the Google Scholar crawler to find better associate repository metadata and PDF content.
Added by Sands Fish, Richard Rodgers (MIT) and Peter Dietz (Ohio State)

 

PowerPoint text extraction, for searching within PowerPoint slides

Postponed for Next Release

There are a few projects that are strongly desired to make it into the standard DSpace release, however they need further development The following projects were considered for 1.7, but were not stable enough to be included. They need further review and development from the stakeholders before they are suitable for widespread use, they may be considered for a future release of DSpace. The next release they will be reconsidered for is 1.8

  • REST API - Using standard web services to CRUD DSpace Objects. A product of previous GSOC.

Unsure of Status

...

  • .
  • SWORD Client for DSpace ? – (Robin Taylor – may be ready, and possibly Richard Jones & Stuart Lewis are interested in helping) –
    • would allow DSpace to push/submit content to other SWORD enabled repositories
    • For closed & open access repositories – add a button to transfer content from a closed to an open repository.
  • unmigratedCGIProposal -wiki- markup[DSPACE:CGIProposal] (Richard Rodgers/MIT -- Interface & XML serialization implementation should be ready), )
    • would allow for type-based submission processes (e.g. Theses/Dissertations could have different submission steps than articles/papers).
    • Wiki Markup
      based on the&nbsp;\[Item type based submission patch\|http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-464\]&nbsp;picked up by Robin Taylor (initially a GSoC project
    ) -- would allow for type-based submission processes (e.g. Theses/Dissertations could have different submission steps than articles/papers
    • )
    .
  • Context Guided Ingest – define an interface, where any submission code can write "attributes" and can retrieve those again later on. Can add any new attributes/values that you want for your submission code. Could be serialized to XML (using input-forms.xml) OR have an implementation of that service that stores in DB (recommended). JPA2? 
    • seems similar to SimpleStorage Service (user centered storage of state info) – Mark Diggory.
  • Rewrite of Creative Commons licensing   (MIT - ready to go) – 
    • would improve upon the features of the current CC licensing submission step
    • Currently only against XMLUI from MIT
    • Legacy problem – do we update old license to new or not? Currently MIT runs 'split version' with old licenses looking like old, and new look like new.
