How we got here

• 2013– Vision discussions (face-to-face mtg)– Vision document (mostly technical)

• 2014– Vision (feature-based) Survey– “Product Plan” (use cases & gaps)– Community Use Case gathering (DCAT)

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Strategic+Planning



Path to a Roadmap

1. Roadmap Working Group formed2. Strategic Plan for Technology,

Community & Sustainability3. Use Case Analysis (130 use cases)4. Technology Roadmap5. Vetting by community

Roadmap Working Group

• Tim Donohue (DuraSpace)• Lieven Droogmans (@mire)• Stuart Lewis (U of Edinburgh)• Jonathan Markow (DuraSpace)• Michele Mennielli (Cineca)• Richard Rodgers (MIT)• Ryan Steans (Texas Digital Library)• Maureen Walsh (Ohio State U)



Assumptions

• NOT rewriting DSpace from scratch– Highly active Developer Community– Requires high resource commitments– Time-consuming / potentially risky

• ARE aiming for a leap forward in user experience / User Interface

DSpace 7.0 – Priority 1DSpace 7.0 – Priority 1

1. Single User Interface2. Configurations in Admin UI3. “Module” Framework / Registry4. Simplified Collection Hierarchy5. Integrations to lower effort to

deposit

Highest priority for 7.0 (in order)



DSpace 7.0 – Priority 2

6. Hierarchical Metadata Support7. Relationships between Objects8. Enhanced, Basic Statistical Reports9. Enhanced, Basic Preservation10.Easy & Intuitive Deposit UI

Recommended for 7.0, but contingent on contributors



Post-7.0 Priorities

• Easier Installation• Easier Upgrade• Advanced Statistical Reports• Theme Management in UI• Enhanced Versioning• Replace “Bundle” with Metadata• Advanced Preservation Tools• Enhanced Search/Browse• Enhanced Access Control



Prioritized Integrations

• Authentication / Authorization• Increased exposure in external systems• Additional persistent identifiers (e.g. DOI)

• Enhanced personal identifiers (e.g. ORCID)

• Streaming Video / Audio• Streaming Images / Documents• Search Engine Optimization

Unscheduled as of yet. Dependent on higher priority features.



How?• Managed projects (starting for 7.0)

– Part time, donated developers– Scheduled (1-2 wk) development sprints

• Need more volunteers / contributors!– Donate a developer part-time to help

with a feature of interest– We’ll work with you to schedule dev for

sprints

What comes first?

Converge on Single UI

JSPUIJSPUI XMLUIXMLUI

DSpace UIDSpace UI


DSpace UI

• Prototype (at least) 2-3 UI platforms– At least one Java-based– At least one non-Java

• By end of 2015– Approve a single platform / prototype– Finalize developer team / schedule

• Early 2016 : dev sprints begin• Demos / Early Training at OR16• Release in 7.0


Other 7.0 priorities

• Projects will be established with a similar development model– 1-2 week development sprints– Open development (ongoing feedback)

• The more collaborators, the more we can achieve for 7.0– Conversely, if less, we achieve less


How you can help

• Become a DuraSpace Member!– Help us hire a DSpace Product Manager– Voice in DSpace governance & roadmap

• Donate a developer (part time)– Choose a project– Get in touch– We’ll schedule sprints
