In 2014, the DSpace project teams concentrated on establishing a formalized Governance model, ran a "Vision Survey" to gather needs/use cases from the user community, and compiled an early list of Use Cases based on the survey responses. We also began work on an early "Product Plan" which detailed feature/use case priorities based on the survey results. The survey results, an early Product Plan, and the Governance model were all presented at OR2014 in a session titled "The Future of DSpace"
Resulting Documents
- Project Governance : DSpace formalized its Project Governance model, establishing a DSpace Steering Group and a DSpace Leadership Group, while also formalizing existing Working Groups such as DCAT and Committers. For more details of the roles/responsibilities of each group, also see Project Teams.
DSpace 2014 Product Plan : An initial, high level plan of use cases / features that DSpace should strive to achieve. This Product Plan was based on the results of the (early 2014) "Vision Survey". It was developed by an temporary Product Planning Group, made up of representatives of DCAT, Committers and the Steering Group.
- Use Cases : Based on the 2014 Vision Survey, and Product Plan, the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) held a series of meetings to gather community Use Cases
- "The Future of DSpace" session at OR2014 summarized the above documents as well as the Vision Survey results.

In 2013, an ad-hoc "Vision Team" began discussions and brainstorms around what the goals and priorities of the DSpace platform should be in the coming years. This resulted in a high-level, five point Vision Document, which was presented at OR2013 and developed into a Vision Survey in late 2013 / early 2014.
Resulting Documents
- DSpace 2013 Vision Discussions : Details the initial "Vision" discussions that took place in 2013, to brainstorm out a longer term Vision for the DSpace platform. Also details the (early 2014) "Vision Survey" which gathered feedback on the vision, and possible use cases for the DSpace platform going forward.
- DSpace 2013 Vision and Roadmap Meeting - Notes from the two-day kickoff meeting that began these Vision discussions
- DSpace 2013 Vision Document : The 5-point Vision Statement for DSpace. Also available as a PDF presentation
- "DSpace RoadMap & Vision" session at OR2013 summarized the five point Vision. It was also later turned into a 30-minute screencast on YouTube.
