We are currently in the process of developing a repository for historic and current ecological research. This will not only include tabular data (CSVs, Excel), but also information in a wide variety of formats.
In particular we are very interested in DSpace-cris as it seems to meet nearly all our requirements. In particular version 7 of the software is looking very interesting. But we have two questions that I have not been able to find suitable answers to. 1. Does the system use any of the commercial Java features and therefore require a licence from Oracle starting in 2019? Even better would it be possible to use the OpenJDK instead of the standard edition? 2. We have a requirement for certain entities to be related to one or more spatial layers (points, lines or polygons). This spatial layer will denote the footprint of the research. Of course it is possible to store the spatial data in a Postgres/PostGIS database by enabling the database extension. But we wanted to allow users to perform spatial searches if required. Although I have not programmed in Java for a number of years, I not averse to getting my hands dirty with java code. Searching through the mailing list there does seem to be two question regarding this functionality, but little other information. Is there any known stumbling blocks to us implementing this functionality?
