New features in DSpace 1.8 (very tentative)
| Note |
|---|
New Features are yet to be determinedfinalized. If you have ideas or code you'd like to see make it into DSpace 1.8.0, please submit it to our Issue Tracker |
- For a list of all features/improvement/bugs currently scheduled for 1.8.0, see the 1.8.0 Version in our Issue Tracker.
- NOTE: This listing is not finalized, and is likely to change. Not all features/improvements/bugs currently scheduled for 1.8.0 are guaranteed to be in that release.
Developers: Add what you are working on to this list. Please try and link off to additional documentation (on Wiki) or related JIRA issues.
- More Curation Tools/Plugins (MIT & Others). Obviously, some could potentially even be release asynchronously, and also formally "bundled" with 1.8.0
- REST API formal release? It missed 1.7.0, but there seemed to be interest there. Volunteer(s) to stabilize/improve for 1.8.0?
- DSpace "Easy" Installer (Tim Donohue)? See DS-802 and InstallerPrototype for more details
- Perhaps, alongside this, an easier way to "install" plugins/addons (like Curation Tool plugins)??
- SWORD Client for DSpace (Robin Taylor, and possibly Richard Jones & Stuart Lewis)
- would allow DSpace to push/submit content to other SWORD enabled repositories
- For closed & open access repositories – add a button to transfer content from a closed to an open repository.
- Context Guided Ingest (Richard Rodgers/MIT) – define an interface, where any submission code can write "attributes" and can retrieve those again later on. Can add any new attributes/values that you want for your submission code. Could be serialized to XML (using input-forms.xml) OR have an implementation of that service that stores in DB (recommended). JPA2?
- would allow for type-based submission processes (e.g. Theses/Dissertations could have different submission steps than articles/papers).
- based on the Item type based submission patch picked up by Robin Taylor (initially a GSoC project)
- seems similar to SimpleStorage Service (user centered storage of state info) – Mark Diggory.
- Usability improvements / new Theme work (Peter Dietz)
- Context Sensitive Help for XMLUI (@mire)
- Discovery Enhancements (@mire)
- Asynchronous Release Process / Release various modules/addons separate from base install (Mark Diggory/@mire & others)
- Metadata on all DSpaceObjects (Mark Diggory/@mire & others?)
- Rewrite of Creative Commons licensing (MIT)??
- would improve upon the features of the current CC licensing submission step
- Currently only against XMLUI from MIT
- Legacy problem – do we update old license to new or not? Currently MIT runs 'split version' with old licenses looking like old, and new look like new.
