DSpace Discovery is an Maintained Addon for DSpace XMLUI that replaces the default Search and Browse behavior with Apache Solr.
Recent work on porting DSpace to an Asyncronous build process prooved too large a task to be completed in DSpace 1.7 with all the other significant changes, with this in mind. It is proposed that a version of Discovery be delivered within the DSpace 1.7.0 codebase and initially maintained there for the 1.7.x development path.
This proposal includes the following features:
*Discovery Configuration in DSpace 1.7.0
*Discovery Install in pre 1.7.0 HowTo
The Design premis behind Discovery is to keep as much the implementation of Search and Browse independent of DSpace as possible. The basis for this is to twofold. (a) to reduce cost in maintaining any customized code and (b) to repurpose third party solutions wherever possible (a.k.a. standing on shoulder of giants). So, the basic tenants are:
Discovery is currently and addon for DSpace that still requires significant addition of configuration files to support. Planned releases will initially coincide with DSpace Scheduled Releases. Eventually, once completely stabilized. Discovery may be included into DSpace releases as a replacement for DSpace Search and Browse out of the box.
