Hi Feng, Sorry for the slow reply.
In addition to what Richard Rodgers explained about the current functionality for SRB registration, there are a few institutions who are using DSpace and SRB together now (e.g. NYU). If you have specific questions you can post them here, or we can try to put you directly in touch with someone who's done this. As for the future of SRB, Karim is correct that SDSC is deprecating SRB in favor of their new system, iRODS https://www.irods.org/index.php/IRODS:Data_Grids%2C_Digital_Libraries%2C_Persistent_Archives%2C_and_Real-time_Data_Systems which is a rules-based system for data archiving and curation. They will provide migration tools, and the old SRB client, Jargon, should work with both. MIT worked on the PLEDGE project with SDSC using both DSpace and iRODS but we ran out of time to test the Jargon client with a DSpace dissemination package, so I can't tell you for certain that it works. However, if you wanted to try it and ran into problems I'm sure that the SDSC folks would help you out. Hope this helps, MacKenzie > Hi Feng, > SRB will be phased out. iRODS [1] is the replacement.
