In case it is not evident, this Vision Document describes a longer-term vision for the DSpace platform. It does NOT have any relationship to the DSpace 4.0 Release scheduled for end of 2013. DSpace 4.0 will just involve improvements to the existing DSpace platform. This Vision Document describes a (potentially) new, modernized DSpace platform, which could only be implemented should we be able to locate necessary resources from our community or elsewhere. |

DSpace 3-5 Year Vision Statement
The following statements describe, at a high level, what goals the DSpace open source product should strive to meet:
- DSpace will focus on the fundamentals of the modern "Institutional Repository" use case. We are (re-)building striving to meet the IR for needs of the next 5-10 years.

- DSpace will include a "core" set of functionality that can be "extended" (think Wordpress-like plugins) or have "hooks" (integration points) to complimentary services/tools
- DSpace will be designed in such a way that it can be easily/quickly configured to integrate with new & future tools/services in the larger digital scholarship "ecosystem"
- DSpace will support low-cost, hosted solutions and deployments (by featuring an easy, "just works" setup)
