The DSpace 7 Working Group was disbanded at the end of June 2023 once DSpace 7 became "feature complete".

 See "DSpace 7 moving into maintenance after 7.6" announcement.

All DSpace Development discussions/planning/meetings have transitions back into general DSpace Developer Meetings.  Please join us in those public meetings!

Background information on the DSpace 7 Release available at DSpace 7 UI Project Plain Language Summary.

More information, including some FAQs available at DSpace Release 7.0 Status

Scope & Objectives

The goal of this working group, led by Tim Donohue, is to create a new, single User Interface (UI) for DSpace that implements all functionality currently available in JSPUI and XMLUI.  The UI will interact with DSpace core data through a completely new REST API to insure complete separation of the user layer from the data layer.

Deliverables

Latest, high level status of DSpace 7 development is captured in our DSpace 7 Project Boards. These boards are managed in GitHub.

Implementation of the User Interface and the REST API with code delivered on GitHub along with documentation on how to use, install, and extend the interface.

User Interface: Angular 13

REST API: Java 11
