Who is involved?

The DSpace Vision work is really a collaboration between several groups, and requires approval / feedback from all of them at various stages:

Next Steps / Planning

Note

What follows is an outline of the next steps in developing a vision and ultimately a technology roadmap for DSpace software. Please keep in mind that many of these steps may involve differing and sometimes overlapping groups (e.g. initial planning and use case gathering may involve DCAT or Vision Team members, while technical implementation discussions/decisions will highly involve Committers).

  •  Develop a high level "Vision" for DSpace software.   Done(ACTION: DSpace Vision Team)
  •  Survey the DSpace Community around the perceived "use cases/features" which may achieve that Vision.   Done(ACTION: DSpace Vision Team)
  •  Summarize & analyze Vision Survey results (e.g. what does our community find most important?).  (ACTION: DSpace Vision Team or subset)
  •  Develop a high level "DSpace Technology Plan" which brings together the Vision with perceived core use cases and feature sets (based on Vision survey resultsACTION: Small group. Requires approval/feedback from all groups)
  •  Investigate implementation options based on finalized core use cases and feature sets (while keeping in mind extendability for non-core use cases), (ACTION: Small group of Committers / Tech savvy folks. Approval/feedback from all groups) 
  •  Develop an Implementation Roadmap to achieve our Technology Plan & Vision (ACTION: Small group of Committers / Tech savvy folks. Approval/feedback from all groups.)
