Hello and very warm welcome to raf limbs. This is faro hosanne and today we will learn an important topic in digital library system series. So we'll talk about the d space in detail, we'll discuss the history of d space features of d, space, community and resources of d space. So this is an important video. If you want to learn about d space, you must watch it first. I will talk about the history of d space. Most of the people said that dura space and d space they both are the same thing.

A

No dura space is one of the organization, whereas d space is an institutional repository application. So talk about dura space. First dura space was founded in may 2009 when the fedora commons organization and the d space foundation joined together, so dura space is actually a result of merger of dora commons organization and the dspace foundation in 2009.

A

So both were the largest provider of open source repository software for managing and providing access to digital content in july, 2019 eurospace merged with viruses, become a division of that organization. Now lyricist is the parent organization and legal entity. Eurospace is actually uh working as a division of viruses with the responsibility for community developed software programs.

A

So, let's see why duraspace merged with lyrices they, both two leading not for profit organization, lyricist and deuterospace, were merged to participate in developing new scalable technologies, shared innovation opportunities and high value, fairly priced services across the global landscape of academic and public libraries, scholarly research, archives, museums and galleries.

A

The dura space along with larissa's, lead these open source projects, so there are three actually the fedora espace vivo, so they are actually the projects of a dual space and viruses with more than 2 500 users worldwide in 120 countries.

A

So the fedora is actually the uh one of the flexible modular open source repository platform with native link data support and d space is actually trunky. Institutional repository application. We'll talk about the d space in detail, so d space is one of the project of duda space and viruses. So so another project is vivo. Vivo is a linked data. Application for research discovery vivo, creates an integrated record of the scholarly work of your organization.

A

So duress, space and lattices provide these services on subscription basis, so they are actually archive direct d space direct and duracloud. These services are built on solid, open source software platform can be set up quickly with expert stuff, so duracloud, if you have a space problem, if you have server problem, so you can have dura cloud. Duracloud is actually a hosted service that control where and how your content is preserved in the cloud so d, space direct.

A

If this is something like you have d space uh with a vendor uh services as well so d, space direct, is a hosted, trunky repository solution and similar archive direct archive direct is a complete, hosted archiving solution. So they are the services on a very reasonable price.

A

So d space is one of the funky institutional repository applications. So let us see what is trunky application. First of all, the tron trunky is actually turn a key system, a computer system that has been customized for a particular application.

A

The term drives from the area that the end user can just turn a key, and the system is ready to go. Funky systems include all the necessary software for the particular application, so this is what the concept of trunk a key software or system so talk about d space d space is a trunky institutional repository application d space is the software of choice for academic, non-profit and commercial organization, building open digital repositories.

A

It is free and easy to install out of the box and completely customizable to fit the need of any organization espace and enables easy and open access to all type of digital content, including text images, moving images, mpegs and data set.

A

So dspace software will focus on institutional repository use case p, lean, align and flexible, be easy and simple. To install and operate include a core set of functionalities that can be extended. We will talk about in detail, features top reason to use d space.

A

So the very first reason and the top reason to use d space is actually the largest community of users and developers worldwide. Dspace has over 1000 organization that are currently using these based software in a production or project environment. So this is most important. Actually, the most common use is by the research libraries as an institutional repository.

A

However, there are many organization using the software to host and manage subject based repositories, data set repositories or media based repositories.

A

uh So a complete list of register users available on this web address: bureau space, dot, org uh backslash registry backslash d space. So you can even register your library if you are using d space, so you can register your institutional repository so anyhow, so move on.

A

The second reason is actually free and open source software. The d space is completely free, I mean the foss, so the d space open source platform is available for free to anyone and can we download from github so the code is currently licensed under the bsd open source license. What does it mean? This mean that the any organization can use modify or even integrate the code into their commercial application without paying any license fee?

A

So this is the I mean the amazing thing, so it's free and also open source espace software is managed by a smaller group of volunteer developers that work together to plan release and integrate new features and bug fix committed by the community.

A

So if you want to work voluntarily or- and you are a developer, so you can actually join the d space so another feature of d space, it's completely customizable to fit your needs, customize or theme, the user interface.

A

You can actually fully customize the look and feel of your d space website, so it will integrate seamlessly with your institutional website and can be intuitive for your for your user. These space provide two main user interface options. The traditional one is jsp based uh and the mannequin xml base, which provides various themes out of the box, not only theme and user interface. You can customize the metadata.

A

Doubling co is the default metadata format within dspace application. However, you can add or change any field to customize it for your application. These space currently support any non-hierarchical flat name space, but you can actually use some radical metadata scheme into d space. Such as mark or mode for this purpose, you need to work on crosswalk or some other applications to map the transfer of data.

A

So if you want to learn about the different between cataloging and metadata schemes, so you can watch the video in I button and also in description of this video, so you can configure browse and search.

A

You can decide what field you would like to display for browsing, such as author, title date, etc. On your dspace website, you can also select any metadata field. You would like to include it in the search interface.

A

All of the texts within a given item and metadata associated with the item are indexed for full text search if desired. So this is really an important feature of these.

A

Okay, local authentication mechanism d space come with plugins for most universally authentication methods, including ldap and hierarchical ldap. So this is actually most important about the authentication mechanism and ipbase is also available and d space comes with its own internal authentication method and multiple authentication methods can be configured at once.

A

For example, you are using ldap and you want to use a dspace own uh authentication methods, so you can use it and even you can plug in your your your own design, uh authentication methods if you want to so that was actually about the authentication method. So if you want to add some authentication method, for example, single signing ldap, you can use your user id and password or whatever, so you can actually uh configure that espace complies with the many standard protocols for access in guest and export.

A

The standard d space support includes oa. I e p m h, o a I o r e s. Word web dev open search, open, url rss autumn, so they are actually some standard name configurable database, so you can select postgres or oracle as a database of your dspace system and the default language d space web application is available in over 20 languages. So if english is not your local language, you can actually customize the language with these space use.

A

So this is about language and, let's move on.

A

So uh this is most important used by educational government, private and commercial institution. Espace platform is used by higher education institution for whom the platform was initially developed, while also showing a much broader appeal.

A

The software has been used by museum state archives, national libraries journal repositories, consortiums and commercial companies to manage their digital assets.

A

Can we install out of the box dspace come with an easy configurable web-based interface, which any system administrator can install on a single linux, mac, os x or windows box, to get started? So you can use a virtual machine to just get started for practice purpose. Only if you would like to try out d space uh before installing visit uh the space demonstration site, uh which is actually a fully functional demo install of d space up so and the list of prerequisites is also available in documentation. We'll talk about the documentation.

A

Can manage and preserve all types of digital content? Yes, d space application can recognize and manage a large number of file format.

A

Some of the most common format currently managed within the dspace environment are pdf word apeg, mpeg, tiff files, and you can actually add your file format if there's not available in d space unrecognized format so that it can be identified in future.

A

So the community, after the features how you can get involved within the d space users community. Currently there are over 1000 instance of d space running worldwide, so you are actually in a good company. You can get involved with the dspace user community. By visiting this webs I mean website is available, eurospace.org backslash, espace backslash community.

A

So you there, you can actually register your d space instance uh join the community mailing list become a member and take part in the project government. So you need to register there actually additional support while registered service the registered service. I think it's not freely available, so you have to pay something for the register.

A
