Beginning in the late fall of 2012, the DuraSpace facilitated calls to explore if there were some common projects of interest to the DSpace community that might spark a community-driven, collaborative effort. The most common 3 themes are being explored further. Notes and materials from these potential projects are below. For more information visit http://www.duraspace.org/dspace-futures.

REST API / Repository Abstraction Layer - Discussions exploring the creation of a DSpace full-featured REST API that would permit more flexible and agile UI development and would ease integration with third-party tools and applications.

  • Meeting Notes
  • Use Cases & Signup

 

DSpace and Hydra - Discussions exploring either a DSpace Hydra head that would duplicate DSpace functionality using the Hydra framework (Ruby on Rails, Solr, Blacklight, Fedora) or other variations such as Hydra front-end development on top of the DSpace back-end.

Metadata Improvements - Discussions on metadata enhancement will be held on Wednesday, March 20 at 4:00pm EDT (20:00 UTC). To join this call, dial +1 209.647.1600, participant code 117433#. The DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) has been working on a proposal to improve the metadata support based on results of an earlier community-wide survey (Proposal to Update QDC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry). As the starting point for enhanced metadata support, DCAT is creating a proposal that would lay the foundation for future improvements by updating the existing Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) schema to the current Qualified Dublin Core (QDC) standard. The proposal also includes some suggestions for improving the protection of the schema standards as well as laying the groundwork for some added flexibility to add other standards. In folding this work into the DSpace Futures initiative, DCAT is hopeful everyone with an interest in improving metadata support in DSpace will get involved with the effort.
