15. MIRAGE 2 RESPONSIVE USER INTERFACE
Mobile and Tablet traffic to institutional repositories is
steadily growing and is already exceeding 10% of total traffic
in particular cases.
Improving the user experience on devices with smaller
display sizes becomes a priority for many institutions.
21. CUSTOMIZABLE THEME
Implementing your local institutional style
guidelines can be done just like before,
through CSS and XSLT changes.
A few examples
32. 2015 AND BEYOND
3-5 years vision statement
DSpace 6 next steps
33. 3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
1. DSpace will focus on the fundamentals
of the modern "Institutional 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.
34. 3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
3. DSpace will include a "core" set of
functionality that can be "extended" (think
plugins) or have "hooks" (integration
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"
35. 3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
5. DSpace will support low-cost, hosted
solutions and deployments (by featuring an
easy, "just works" setup)
36. DSPACE 6 NEXT STEPS
New DSpace governance should help in
tackling challenges that go beyond the
scope of a single release.
The community has produced a large
corpus of DSpace Use Cases.
These will be prioritized and championed
