Hi, Looking for a platform to be our institutional digital repository, I have chosen to take a closer look at DSpace.
While there is little doubdt that DSpace covers our needs in terms of archiving academic written work, I have also been asked to evaluate its ability to be our hosting plattform for our steadily growing collection of digital(ly born) photos and other data-types. After browsing the archives of this mailing lists, and reading the FAQ, my main questions are: 1. Has any of you experience or thoughts about linking practical software like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to a DSpace Collection? 2. Are there any examples of good Workflows out there to solve the needs in terms of vetting/editorial control of images that are delivered to a DSpace collection? 3. Could scripts or software be built around the import command in order to build our own delivery programs/plugins? 4. Has anyone got experience in replacing the use of slideshare.com, flickr.com, youtube.com and other online hosting services with a local DSpace installation? I have people here who wants a low threshold when it comes to publishing material, but I am still not sure if DSpace is the appropriate platform to replace these popular online services.
