3. 3 What is DSpace? Captures
Digital research material in any formats
Directly from creators (faculty)
Large-scale, stable, managed long-term storage
Describes
Descriptive, technical, rights metadata
Persistent identifiers
Distributes
Via WWW, with necessary access control
Preserves
Bitstream guaranteed
4. 4 History In yr 2000 Hewlett Packard Labs and M.I.T collaborated to create an open source software solution for archiving digital content
MIT had a need to manage their intellectual output coming from faculity and researchers that was now born digital. They partnered with Hewlett Packard Labs- a leader in computer systems- to develop a complete digital archiving solution. It was a unique collaboration between education and industry in that the software developed would be freely available with no proprietary rights management.
Both institutions felt it important to make the software opensource in order to build a strong community of users with diverse sets of needs able to contribute and drive the development of the platform in the future.MIT had a need to manage their intellectual output coming from faculity and researchers that was now born digital.

6. 6 Community ~250 registered live sites
World-wide adoption
>1m digital assets and growing fast, largest sites several hundred thousand items
Profile
Primarily research and higher education institutions
Cultural heritage organizations, state libraries/archives
Some commercial users and service providers
Goals
Open Access/Content sharing
Long-term archiving and preservation
Branding and promotion through aggregation
7. 7 A select list of current installations
8. 8 Key Factors to DSpace’s adoption Open source, freely available
Great support network of current users World Wide
Easy to use as packaged
Can handle a multitude of digital formats
Initially developed by leading institutions
Content all accessible through Google Scholar
9. 9 Institutional Repository Institution-based
Scholarly material in digital formats
Cumulative and perpetual
Open source and interoperable
Potentially new publishing models
Provides faculty with long-term storage of research data and publications
10. 10 Why Libraries? Expertise
Large-scale collection management
Assessment/collection policies
preservation
Metadata
Solid business practices
Commitment
Long time frames
Fits with Libraries’ mission
11. 11 Digital Preservation Philosophy
Lots of digital material is already lost
Most digital material is at risk
Better to have it, do bit preservation than to lose it completely
Need to capture as much information as possible to support functional preservation
Cost/benefit tradeoffs
12. 12 DSpace Information Model Communities
Research units of the organization
Collections (in communities)
Distinct groupings of like items
Items (in collections)
Logical content objects
Receive persistent identifier
Bitstreams (in items)
Individual files
Receive preservation treatment
13. 13 Possible DSpace Content Articles
Preprints, e-prints
Technical Reports
Working Papers
Conference Papers
E-theses
Audio/Video Datasets
Statistical, geospatial
Images
Visual, scientific
Teaching material
Lecture notes, visualizations, simulations
Digitized library collections
14. 14 Communities Departments, Labs, Research Centers, Programs, Schools, etc.
Localized policy decisions
Who can contribute, access material
Submission workflow
Submitters, approvers, reviewers, editors
Collections definition, management
Communities supply metadata
Or contract with library
15. 15 Easy to Use Easy to add content
Easy to browse and search content
Permanent identifier for your content
16. 16 Submitting Content
17. 17 Searching/Browsing Content
18. 18 Search All metadata and text is indexed and fully searchable
Can customize which fields you want to enable browsing
Can choose what fields and text you want to index for search
19. 19 Content indexed in Google Scholar
20. 20 Rights management Can assign creative commons license to your work to allow others to share, remix or reuse if you wish
Creativecommons.org
21. 21 Rights management
22. 22 Metadata Currently uses standard Dublin core descriptive metadata
Possible to extend fields as you wish
Possible to import MARC and MODs but lose hierarchal structure
Supports any named space flat non-hierarchal metadata schema
23. 23 Other areas you can customize Submission process- you can configure the submission steps to suit your organization
Browse and search terms- can set what fields and files you choose to index and display in the browse interface
Database- can choose Postgres or Oracle
OAI-PMH-can expose your catalog for harvesting and access
Extend DSpace to work with other web services- using Light Network Interface you can pull or push content to/from DSpace
User interface- you can create your own user interface
24. 24 Next Steps: Build a Community Work with DSpace team on campus to create a Community
Add content
Use metadata (keywords, descriptions) to aid search and retrieval
Update community’s content with new research
