3-5 Year Vision
3-5 Year Vision Mtg
• May meeting of 10 stakeholder inst.– Came out of March DuraSpace Summit
• Goal: Common 3-5 year vision– Vision is longer term (not for 4.0)– Opportunity to reinvigorate, refresh use
cases & needs after 10 years– Hope to establish community-led project
• Similar to Fedora Futures / Fedora 4
http://duraspace.org/meeting-report-3-5-year-dspace-vision
DSpace will:1.Focus on IR fundamentals, modern
use cases2.Be lean & flexible3.Include “core IR” functionality which
can be extended4.Be designed to integrate well5.Support low-cost, hosted
solutions
3-5 Year Vision (Draft)
1. Focus on IR
“Institutional Repository” at heart
• Core functionality = current & anticipated IR use cases– Not same use cases as 10 yrs ago
• Anything Non-Core = implement via (third-party) plugins
2. Lean & Flexible
Do NOT attempt to do or be everything
• Instead: lean, focused system
• But, support third-party plugins
3. Core IR Use Cases
What is “out-of-the-box”vs
What may be a third-party plugin
• We need to determine what these core use cases are, together
• Retain “out-of-the-box” IR goal
4. Designed to Integrate
Standalone system = thing of the past
• Provide integration points for others to build against (APIs, etc)
• Build our own integrations with external systems / services
5. Support low-cost/hosted
Web-based Configuration & Setup
• Easy to setup / install whether on your local server or hosted
• Most options / configs should be customizable via a web UI
A Possible Vision?
DSpace as a “WordPress-like” IR?
• Easy to install (5 min) / “just works”• Diverse third-party plugins / themes• Manage most everything from web UI
(including plugins / themes)• Large, active support community

Technical RoadMap / Plan• Work towards establishing a
community project– Governance – Locate developers / funding
