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:

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.

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:

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
