• Metadata Values
    • Add an attribute to the metadatavalues table that allows values to be typed (String, number, date, url) 
    • Add an attribute to the metadatavalues table that allows values to classified (ORCID, DOI)
    • Allow metadata values to have a human-readable value and a URI value
    • Expose these new attributes with each metadata field
  • Shared entities/metadata objects
    • Allow multiple DSpace objects to reference a shared object/shared concept
    • Examples
      • Define a "course" as a shared entity
        • Allow multiple items that were a part of that course to reference the common course definition 
        • Currently, this requires you to either (1)make courses into collections or (2) repeat course info into each item
      • Consolidate metadata for historical authors/creators that might not have a definitive page for linking
  • config overlay
    • Allow specific config files to be overlayed in a manner similar to other module resources
    • This would allow an institution using the binary build model to only track changes for config files that require modification.  This would simplify the upgrade process.
