Commenting

The Commenting add-on consists in a set of classes, servlets and custom tags that bring informal communication capabilities to the DSpace environment. The informal communication is assured by a threaded forum that The Commenting add-on consists in a set of classes, servlets and custom tags that bring informal communication capabilities to the DSpace environment. The informal communication is assured by a threaded forum that can be attached to any DSpace resource: web-page, community, collection, submitted item or e-person. The add-on allows comments to be inserted by anonymous users as well as by authenticated ones. Functionality for reviewing comments is also provided with the add-on.

This patch uses JHOVE to provide rough-and-ready format checking by identifying that the file/bitstream extension matches formats verifiable by JHOVE. (Currently DSpace accepts a deposit's file extension as gospel, so a user could tack a ?.txt' extension onto a GIF and DSpace would assign the incorrect format to the file based on that incorrect extension.) It also checks the file for the presence of viruses.

  Lightweight Network Interface

A simple but comprehensive network interface that was developed as part of the CWSpace project. It was designed to be complete enough for most programmatic uses of the DSpace API, particularly submitting and extracting archived materials as packages or byte streams.

Pluggable Storage/S3

This model is conceived as a DSpace asset store API/interface. One big advantage of such an interface is the ease of writing implementations for different storage systems (file-based, grid, etc) and plugging them into DSpace.

Request Copy

The purpose of this feature is to increase both the content deposited in an IR and its immediate usability by providing a way to accommodate the (frequently unfounded) worries of authors and their institutions about copyright infringement during any publisher embargo periods on public self-archiving, by creating a semi-automated mechanism whereby would-be users can request and authors can email an individual copy of a full-text deposited with access set as A.

Semantic Search for DSpace

Semantic Search allows reasoning-based search and retrieval of DSpace content, using Semantic Web technologies. Using a technique known as semantic profiling it allows inference-based search and knowledge discovery that would otherwise be impossible.

Statistics

An add-on to the DSpace platform that allows gathering, processing and presenting usage, content and administrative statistics. While the development was done to meet the specific needs of Reposit¢riUM at the University of Minho, the system is completely adjustable to other environments as its components can easily be configured, changed or extended, to respond to different information needs.
Version Compatibilty: 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 1.6.2, 1.7.2, 1.8.2, compatible with Manakin?

Open Peer Review

One important element missing from open access repositories is a quantitative assessment of the hosted research items that will facilitate the process of selecting the most relevant and distinguished content. Common currently available metrics, such as number of visits and downloads, do not reflect the quality of a research product, which can only be assessed directly by peers offering their expert opinion together with quantitative ratings based on specific criteria.

To address the aforementioned situation, the open peer review module, OPRM, can be installed to existing Dspace institutional or other repositories and offered as an overlay service. Digital research works hosted in these repositories could then be evaluated by an unlimited number of peers that would offer not only a qualitative assessment in the form of text, but also quantitative measures that will be used to build the work’s reputation. Importantly, this evaluation system will be open and transparent.

Delegated Admin

Delegation of permissions. DSpace currently only supports minimal distributed management at a Collection level, in the form of Collection Administrators. However, at this point in time, there is no such thing as a Community Administrator to allow for distributed management of individual Communities. The closest anyone has gotten to implement this feature is in the now out-of-date patch: Authorization System: Delegate Admins (SF#13736513) by Andrea Bollini. Tim Donohue is working on an updated version of the Delegated Admins patch that works for the DSpace 1.5.x XMLUI (it will not work for JSPUI), but I'm sure that could be added relatively easily.

Masking

SIMILE DOME Integration

Extending metadata schema support in DSpace through DF/Semantic Web technologies. SIMILE seeks to enhance inter-operability among digital assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, metadata, and services. A key challenge is that the collections which must inter-operate are often distributed across individual, community, and institutional stores. We seek to be able to provide end-user services by drawing upon the assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, and metadata held in such stores. (SMILE related) Richard Rodgers, DSpace Semantic Web RDF data from DSpace, drop down browse, base on RDF.
