Extraction of the DSpace Data Model as an API from the DSpace core libraries provides a contract for application developers to rely on when developing enduser applications for DSpace. Additional API on core DSpace busi- ness and data access services (workflow and data access) will assure that applications can rely on these serv- ices contractually while the underlying implementations are improved and alternate implementations begin to emerge. Past prototyping in the DSpace 2.0 and GSoC projects have verified that once properly restructured integration with alternative storage implementations including options such as Fedora, JCR Repositories, Dura- Cloud and Semantic Storage systems such as Tupelo will be greatly eased.  An initial Prototype of this API now resides in the dspace-modelcore project and we will be providing JIRA tasks and patches to trunk that will reflect what are some relatively minor changes to the org.dspace.content and core packages to support it.
