DSpace 7 Update The DSpace Steering Group has been discussing whether to potentially expand the scope of DSpace 7 to include more new features such as support for storing things like Authors (to create Author Profile pages, like Bepress, etc), and some other objects that tend to be more CRIS-oriented.These ongoing discussions may mean that DSpace 7 is not *just* a new UI on existing features–what we have been focusing on for "What's in DSpace 7". The Steering Group has another meeting scheduled to discuss further and work towards making a decision–not sure when this decision will be made. We might want to hold off on publishing "What's in DSpace 7" until this discussion completes --- we can still finalize the document, but may want to just hold it until entities work is finalized. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18brPF7cZy_UKyj97Ta44UJg5Z8OwJGi7PLoPJVz-g3g/edit#gid=0 | Tim | Full update and demo planned for OR in early June; the DSpace 7 tech team is small, browse and search completed; submission, in process. Tim will make slides available. Steering Group has been discussing entities working group conclusions (DSpace Entities Working Group (2017-18))—researcher profiles, groups, grants and funder info–would like to move this work forward into the DSpce 7 release, need additional funding and/or developers to build out a prototype. Ran the first virtual spr4rint on DSpace 7 with 4 coaches and 8 developers from 9 institutions. Report here: DSpace 7 Community Sprint 1 Got 10 tickets done. Lots of new faces. Successful in getting new people involved and engaged. Scheduling next one after Open Repositories Conference. Working on segmenting out the entities work. Expect a statement from the DSpace 7 steering group prior to the Open Repositories Conference.Entities group–build an extendable model for 3 entities Waiting on a next steps statement from DSpace Steering Group |
