*Toward a Strategic Vision and Technical Roadmap for DSpace*
*DSpace community initiative to provide strategic direction for the project*
*Winchester, MA* The DSpace Steering Group, working with the DSpace
Community Advisory Team (DCAT) and DuraSpace, has organized an initiative
to present a strategic vision and technical roadmap for DSpace,
representing significant community contributions during the past two years.
DSpace stakeholders have held a series of discussions about DSpace's
strategic direction during this period, beginning with the work of the
DSpace Vision team. Most recently, Bram Luyten and Maureen Walsh hosted a
number of calls inviting stakeholders to contribute DSpace use cases that
they would like to see accommodated by the software.
Over the next two months Tim Donohue, DSpace Technical Lead, will work with
the Steering Group and DCAT to synthesize this work and, with input from
the community, create a document that will include the following:
A statement of the strategic vision and goals for DSpace, summarizing the
work that has been done to date
Recommendations for moving on the path towards achieving the goals
A technical roadmap reflecting the priorities expressed by the community.
An update of this work will be presented at Open Repositories 2015.
DuraSpace has formed a working group to meet with Tim during this project
to review his work in progress and offer feedback and assistance where
needed. Working Group members include Maureen Walsh (Ohio State U), Bram
Luyten (@mire), Michele Mennielli (Cineca), Ryan Steans (Texas Digital
Library), Richard Rodgers (MIT), and Stuart Lewis (U of Edinburgh).
As usual, DSpace users are encouraged to offer feedback as planning
progresses. To follow this work or add your own feedback, please visit
