DSpace 7 Update | Timl | DSpace 7 Entities Working Group REMINDER: Next DSpace 7 Community Sprints will be weeks of Oct 1 and 8 | Currently on track for alpha release of DSpace 7 end of 2018 Committers are now back from summer leaves so more work will resume We have had 2 Entities WG meetings Currently analyzing early prototype from Atmire Working towards establishing config urable entities solution since entities are handled very differently in different parts of the world. Everything is an" item" and linkages can be made within the same structure, can build types around items. Second round of work will be more refined. The DSpace 7 Workin Group and Entities WG will eventually merge DCAT feedback about entities work– Have you had people involved who are catalogers, profile system, authority control–concerned about standardization of names etc. Best practices documentation to come Update for DCAT on entities work from Tim would be useful |
Discussion: Comparing key Islandora IR features with DSpace 7 | Felicity | LASIR executive summary Stats–bots are a problem in gettying accurate usage data DSpace 7 features are competitive Entities work is comparable UI pages in DSpace 7 are all html snippets Need ability to facilitate contributions to larger content networks–a steering group issue, will set priority, strategizing what comes next Recommend a proposal to SG Documentation should be streamlined Digital Commons comparisons | |
