Hi Iris,
allow me to take the easy ones:
*File Type Support*
Any type of file, regardless of format or extension can be stored in
DSpace. In this context, "support" for such a file is defined as: being
able to upload the file, and offering it for download to end users.
For text formats, DSpace offers full-text indexing and searching. For image
formats, DSpace offers thumbnail generation & display.
*Metadata Schema Support*
As long as the envisioned metadata schema is flat (e.g. non hierarchical),
you can use the web user interface tools to customize the provided DC
schema to your liking. Additional schema's can be added and individual
items can contain elements form different schema's.
I have not investigated whether EXIF, IPTC, XMP and EAD are flat metadata
schema's.
*Export formats*
*
*
DSpace offers different interfaces for export of metadata. The newest
release, DSpace 3.0 offers a configurable OAI-PMH
interface<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/OAI+2.0+Server>with
support for following standards:
1. OAI_DC
2. DIDL
3. DIM
4. ETDMS
5. METS
6. MODS
7. OAI-ORE
8. QDC
9. RDF
10. MARC
11. UKETD_DC
12. XOAI
Please clarify whether this fully addresses your question about export.
*What are the opportunities it in user management? Can I also access rights
for individual objects,*
The user and group model allows you to assign access rights both to users
and groups of users. These rights can be assigned all the way down to the
individual object level.
*Can I protect objects with watermark? *
This is not offered by DSpace out of the box, but you could customize
DSpace in order to do this.
*Can I use Boolean Operators? *
yes
*How many users can work on Dspace? How many media objects can be managed?*
There are no theoretical limits. To my knowledge, the largest DSpace holds
over half a million
items<http://drc.libraries.uc.edu/handle/2374.UC/2032;jsessionid=EC6060CEE6110FA75805A0DCD2FB175B>
.
We have a client with over 13000 entries in the user account table
(eperson), serving close to 400.000 pages/month in 85.000 unique visits.
Both on the hardware and software level, several scaling techniques can be
applied as you scale up the system.
hope this helps, have a nice weekend,
Bram Luyten
