Scope & Objectives
The goal of this working group, led by Tim Donohue, is to create a new, single User Interface (UI) for DSpace that implements all functionality currently available in JSPUI and XMLUI. The interface UI will interact with DSpace core data through the a completely new REST API to insure complete separation of the user layer from the data layer. It will be built as a modern responsive client side web application using Angular 2.

Developer Resources
| REST Technology After a technology comparison we have decided to focus on Spring MVC + Spring HATEOAS to build a REST API primary focus on JSON HAL.The source code is actually developed in a feature branch of the official DSpace git repository REST API resources
The discussion around the considered technologies is still available here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dAPjq6xSy7A5Q_xXIxLXgJ2VqugFpxeSmMmvbr2mM5M/edit?usp=sharing REST Contract Early discussion has begun at REST API Contract (endpoints, functionalities, behaviour, etc.)
