DSpace bundles a small number of tasks of general applicability. Those that do not require configuration (or have usable default values) are activated by default to demonstrate the use of the curation system. They may be deactivated by means of configuration, if desired, without affecting system integrity. Those that require configuration may be enabled (activated) by means editing DSpace configuration files. Each task is briefly described in this section.

All bundled tasks are in the package org.dspace.ctask.general.  So, for example, to activate the no-operation task, which is implemented in the class NoOpCurationTask, one would configure:

plugin.named.org.dspace.curate.CurationTask = org.dspace.ctask.general.NoOpCurationTask = noop
