DSpace 7 Update

The DSpace Steering Group is discussing whether to potentially expand the scope of DSpace 7 to include more new features such as support for storing things like Authors (to create Author Profile pages, like Bepress, etc), and some other objects that tend to be more CRIS-oriented.These ongoing discussions may mean that DSpace 7 is not *just* a new UI on existing features–what we have been focusing on for "What's in DSpace 7".

The Steering Group has another meeting scheduled to discuss further and work towards making a decision–not sure when this decision will be made. We might want to hold off on publishing "What's in DSpace 7" until this discussion completes --- we can still finalize the document, but may want to just hold it aside.

Notes

Tim presented the DSpace 7 status. 

A Future comparison table of DSpace and Digital Commons Bepress

  • Should include features and functionality of both systems
  • discussed as a way to highlight desirable Bepress features that might be replicable in future DSpace releases. 
    • This comparison will not be part of the current What's in DSpace 7 doc
    • Should include features, what they expose,features that are missing
    • Example of a Bepress comparison from the Samvera community  (incomplete): Digital Commons Feature Matrix
    • Felicity has contacts who are Bepress users who might be willing to work with us
