DSpace 7 Entities Working Group

Scope & Objectives

The goal of this technical working group is to design and implement DSpace 7 Configurable Entities, per the statement from the DSpace Steering Group regarding the DSpace 7 data model and proposal #3 of the DSpace Entities Working Group summary document.

This working group is expected to complete and/or scope the effort within the DSpace 7 release timeline, which will require close coordination with the DSpace 7 Working Group.

Deliverables

This working group will

• Design Configurable Entities per the recommendations above
• Create/submit initial Pull Request(s) for Configurable Entities (to be reviewed by DSpace 7 Working Group and DSpace Committers)
• Create initial end user & configuration documentation for Configurable Entities feature

Once the above deliverables have been completed, this working group will immediately merge with the DSpace 7 Working Group.  At that point, the Configurable Entities feature (and any further enhancements/improvements) will be managed by the combined DSpace 7 Working Group, where it will be stewarded into DSpace 7.
