DSpace is an open source software platform that enables organisa=
tions to:
- capture and describe digital material using a submission workflow modul=
e, or a variety of programmatic ingest options
- distribute an organisation's digital assets over the web through a sear=
ch and retrieval system
- preserve digital assets over the long term
This system documentation includes a functional overview of the system, which is a good introd=
uction to the capabilities of the system, and should be readable by non-tec=
hnical folk. Everyone should read this section first because it introduces =
some terminology used throughout the rest of the documentation.
For people actually running a DSpace service, there is an installation guide, and sections on configuration and the directory structure.
Finally, for those interested in the details of how DSpace works, and th=
ose potentially interested in modifying the code for their own purposes, th=
ere is a detailed architecture an=
d design section.
Other good sources of information are:
- The DSpace Public API Javadocs. Build these with the command
mvn =
javadoc:javadoc
- The DSpace Wiki contains stacks of useful information about the D=
Space platform and the work people are doing with it. You are strongly enco=
uraged to visit this site and add information about your own work. Useful W=
iki areas are:=20
- www.dspace.org has announcements and contains useful information a=
bout bringing up an instance of DSpace at your organization.
- The DSpace General List. Join=
DSpace-General to ask questions or join discussions about non-technical as=
pects of building and running a DSpace service. It is open to all DSpace us=
ers. Ask questions, share news, and spark discussion about DSpace with peop=
le managing other DSpace sites. Watch DSpace-General for news of software r=
eleases, user conferences, and announcements from the DSpace Federation.
- The DSpace Technical List. DSpac=
e developers help answer installation and technology questions, share infor=
mation and help each other solve technical problems through the DSpace-Tech=
mailing list. Post questions or contribute your expertise to other develop=
ers working with the system.
- The DSpace Development List. Jo=
in Discussions among DSpace Developers. The DSpace-Devel listserv is for DS=
pace developers working on the DSpace platform to share ideas and discuss c=
ode changes to the open source platform. Join other developers to shape the=
evolution of the DSpace software. The DSpace community depends on its memb=
ers to frame functional requirements and high-level architecture, and to fa=
cilitate programming, testing, documentation and to the project.
