DSpace  Vision  (2013)  1.  DSpace  will  focus  on  the  fundamentals  of  the  modern  "Ins`tu`onal  

Repository"  use  case.  We  are  striving  to  meet  the  IR  needs  of  the  next  5-­‐10  years.  

2.  DSpace  will  be  "lean",  with  agility  and  flexibility  as  primary  goals.  3.  DSpace  will  include  a  "core"  set  of  func`onality  that  can  be  

"extended"  (think  plugins)  or  have  "hooks"  (integra`on  points)  to  complimentary  services/tools  

4.  DSpace  will  be  designed  in  such  a  way  that  it  can  be  easily/quickly  configured  to  integrate  with  new  &  future  tools/services  in  the  larger  digital  scholarship  "ecosystem"  

5.  DSpace  will  support  low-­‐cost,  hosted  solu`ons  and  deployments  (by  featuring  an  easy,  "just  works"  setup)
