Andrea Answer: Access policies should be configurable per Collecti=
on. However, how to configure it is still not decided
Tim: As this is newer functionality, we may want to scope this back (to=
something more similar to DSpace 6) if we find this too complex to configu=
re.=20
The idea is to essentially generate signatures (md5 hashes) that repres=
ent specific comparison "algorithms" (e.g. a hash to represent title+author=
)
If the signatures between two items are identical, then they are flagge=
d as possible duplicates.
Signatures would be stored in Solr, and would be (re)generated each tim=
e an Item is indexed
We could configure multiple deduplication algorithms in DSpace=20
e.g. If there are 2 algorithms in use, then each Item would have two si=
gnatures (one per algorithm). This is what is shown as an example in "Title=
" and "Identifier" tabbed mockup, as those are two algorithms
Items would then be a possible duplicate if they have one matching sign=
ature.
Submitter will have the opportunity to determine whether a possible dup=
licate is in fact a duplicate=20
They may still wish to submit a duplicate if the original's metadata is=
incorrect. Submitter can add a comment to ask the two entries be merged.=

Andrea agrees with feedback from last week that the "Possible duplicate=
" Popup is not ideal in the Submission UI
The Tabbed duplicate merger screens are Administrative screens. May nee=
d more feedback.
Is this work "in scope" or are we starting to expand the scope too much=
with this work?=20
Andrea feels this feature is a good example of extendability of the Sub=
mission UI, i.e. creating a custom "step" (as well as of Admin UI functions=
)
We should consider treating this as an "add-on" for now. Still give feedback on the work, and help with the designs, etc. H=
owever, based on how other work progresses, we may need to determine whethe=
r this will be "in scope" for DSpace 7, or whether this is initially shippe=
d as an "addon" and brought into DSpace later
