Hello Iris, answer to this question depends on what you mean by "support". You can upload any file with reasonable size (< 2GB by default). To learn about for which formats DSpace supports extracting full-text for indexing and generating thumbnails, see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=32474041 For general information, information about preservation and declaring which formats your repository managers will support, see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Add+a+new+format+to+the+bitstream+registry https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/EndUserFaq#EndUserFaq-WhatkindofcontentdoesDSpacesupport? https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/About+Data+Formats > Support Dspace beside dublin core other metadata standards like > EXIF, IPTC, XMP and EAD? For a non-comprehensive list of the many metadata standards supported, see this presentation: http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/213737 Though you seem to be interested in bitstream metadata. For that, read about Media Filters from the previous question. > Can the metadata schema be edited? Yes, the default Qualified Dublin Core schema can be edited. But we recommend adding a new namespace instead. With item metadata, you're currently restricted to a flat format in the following form (just like in QDC): namespace.element.qualifier[language_code] > Which formats can be exported? Again, there's a whole lot of formats and you can write new crosswalks for both importing and exporting metadata formats quite easily, especially if the format is XML-based. As an example, see the list of formats available by default via OAI in DSpace 3.0: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/OAI+2.0+Server#OAI2.0Server-MetadataFormats > Is Dspace OAIS-compliant? I don't know that myself, but the following presentation claims it is. See page 13 and later. http://summit.sfu.ca/item/430 > What are the opportunities it in user management?

You can manage users entirely within DSpace with password authentication or you can hook it up to a centralized system (LDAP, Shibboleth, others have been used, too). You can assign READ and WRITE rights to items (which can also be inherited from collections), either to user groups or to individual users. ACLs are not supported. > Can I use Boolean Operators, thesaurus and search in indices? Yes, in short, you can use anything that Solr supports if you enable Discovery. Solr is an enterprise search server and probably supports anything you acn think of. > Can I collect search results in a collective basket? No, but you can link to any search results easily. > How many users can work on Dspace? How many media objects can be managed? There's no limitation. Number of users wouldn't pose any problem. Number of items and bitstreams is limited only by your available RAM and disk space. For some guideline recommendations, see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/EndUserFaq#EndUserFaq-WhatsortofhardwaredoesDSpacerequire?Whataboutsizingtheserver?HowmuchdiskspacedoIneed? > It would be very nice if someone could help with these questions If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
