definition of and features og DSPACE digital library software

1. Presented by: Janela Fe P. Badival Jessica T. Lepago DSPACE Digital Library Software

2. Software of choice for academic, nonprofit, and commercial organizations building open repositories. Facilitate the building of institutional repositories that capture, distribute and preserve intellectual output at an institutional level. Definition

3. Designed to help capture and organize everything produced by faculty and staff (digitized versions of lecture notes, videos, papers and data sets) into an institutional repository that will make it available to future generations in its original digital form.

4.   an open source repository  application that allows you to capture, store, index, preserve and distribute your digital material including text, video, audio and data provides a way to manage your materials and publications in a professionally maintained repository to give them greater visibility and accessibility over time

5. Especially designed for digital preservation support for all documents like: Documents , such as articles, preprints, working papers, technical reports, conference papers Books Theses Data sets Computer programs Visualizations, simulations, and other models Multimedia publications

6. Administrative records Published books Overlay journals Bibliographic datasets Images Audio files Video files e-formatted digital library collections Learning objects Web pages

7. March 2000 - Hewlett- P ackard company (HP) awarded $1.8 million to the MIT libraries for an 18-month collaboration to build DSpace , a dynamic repository for the intellectual output in digital formats of multi-disciplinary research organization. HISTORY

8. November 4, 2002 - HP labs and MIT libraries released the system worldwide under the terms of the BSD open source license.

9. July 2007 as the DSpace user community grew larger, HP and MIT jointly formed the DSpace Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provided leadership and support. May 2009 collaboration on related projects and growing synergies between the DSpace Foundation and the Fedora Commons organization led to the joining of the two organizations to pursue their common mission in a not-for-profit called DuraSpace . Currently the DSpace software and user community receives leadership and guidance from DuraSpace .

10. It helps to create, index and retrieve various types of digital contents which include research articles, grey literature, thesis, cultural materials, 3D digital scans of objects, photograph, etc. FUNCTION

11. Provides a set of tools for helping institutions keep track of their data, organize it in a meaningful way and migrate that data to new ones for the old ones become obsolete. Common file formats are automatically identified and media types are recognized and playable. Full-text and faceted searching is driven by robust, customizable metadata delivered content linked to persistent identifiers and available to other systems for OAI metadata harvesting

12. 1.) Metadata > uses a qualified Dublin Core metadata standard for describing items intellectually. >Only 3 fields are required -title -language - submission date >there are additional field for document abstracts, keywords, technical and rights metadata. This metadata id displayed in the item record in DSpace , and is indexed for browsing and searching the system. FEATURES

13. 2) W orkflows DSpace is the first open source digital repository system to tackle the complex problem of how to accommodate the differing submission workflows needed for a multidisciplinary system. In other words, different DSpace Communities, representing different schools, departments, research labs and centers, have very different ideas of how material should be submitted to DSpace , by whom, and with what restrictions.

14. 3) User interface Web-based interfaced 3 interfaces of Dspace Submitters interface End-user interface Searching and retrieval of item by browsing or searching the metadata System administrators

15. 4) Technological platform The system is designed to run on the UNIX platform, and comprises other open source middleware and tools, and programs written by the DSpace team. All original code is in the Java programming language. Other pieces of the technology stack include a relational database management system ( PostgreSQL ), a Web server and Java servlet engine (Apache and Tomcat, both from the Apache Foundation), Jena (an RDF toolkit from HP Labs), OAICat from OCLC, and several other useful libraries. All leveraged components and libraries are also open source software. Libraries are bundled where possible (exceptions are described in the installation instructions). The system is available on SourceForge ,linked from both the DSpace informational web site and the HP Labs site.

16. 5) OAI To further its goal of supporting interoperability with other DSpace adopters, and with other digital repositories, preprint, and e-print servers, the system has implemented the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH ). DSpace used the OCLC OAICat to accomplish this, and is currently exposing Dublin Core metadata for every item in the system. 

17. Large community Free Customizable All institution types Out-of-the-box installation Any digital content Why use Dspace ?

19. GREENSTONE DSPACE short-term preservation long-term preservation designed to be easy for anyone with basic computer-literacy skills to install, in a laptop, desktop, or institutional environment. designed for institutional use, where there are centralized computing facilities and a competent infrastructure for software support. Difference between Greenstone and Dspace :
