(2022, June 8). DSpace-CRIS, anticipating innovation. Open Repositories 2022 (OR2022), Denver, Colorado. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6733234 DSpace-CRIS is the first open source CRIS/RIMS platform in the world. In 2022 the project will reach is 10th anniversary since the first open-source release of the version 1.8.2 alfa took place in November 2012. Technically it is a fork of the DSpace platform, but the two communities have always walked together with the aim of bringing all the general purposes features of DSpace-CRIS to the main community. With version 7 and, especially, with the introduction of configurable entities in DSpace, the gap between these two "cousin" projects has been drastically reduced. However, thanks to the DSpace-CRIS community's increased experience in dealing with very complex use cases that have only recently found their way into “simple” DSpace, there are still many areas where DSpace-CRIS provides more advanced and still unique functionalities. The presentation will summarize unique features and characteristics of DSpace-CRIS over DSpace in 7 minutes.

2. Not "just" a mere
extension, but a full
support plaform for
modern repository
use cases and
Research Information
System.
10 years from the
first DSpace-CRIS
Open Source release!
Happy to celebrate
it with you :)

3. Completely custom entry page(s)

4. .
configurable item layout
We present a new configurable layout allowing
complex and accurate organizationof the item
detail page without coding (e.g. the order in
which they're displayed).

5. .
configurable item layout
Organise/add/order your desired
entities, assets…as long as you
want
Create a new process
through the UI too!
“Any way you want it. That's the way you need it” (Journey)

6. Export everything in any
format!
• CSL integrated engine to export publication
records in citation formats: MLA, Chicago,
BibText, etc.
• Export any records including related
information in XLS, PDF, RTF via Apache
FOS

7. Delegation
• Users can manage their own data:
profile, publications, projects, etc.
• Item can be edited by non-admins
with flexible authorizations
beyond the simple concept of
community and collection

8. Allow users or admins to set a custom URL for any record in
the system such as
${dspace.url}/entities/person/andreabollini
${dspace.url}/entities/product/dspace-cris
Custom URLs are used in the sitemaps
Alternative URLs are properly managed via redirection
Duplicates are prevented, custom URLs history is retaineded
Edit EndUser Agreement
and static text block(CMS)
via U

9. Support for
traditional
and
alternative
metrics
• Traditional (citation, H-index,
impact factor) and alternative
metrics (Altmetrics, PlumX,
Dimensions) are supported out-
of-box.

10. Hierarchical metadata
• Affiliation,
education,
qualification are
just few examples
of metadata
holding complex
information
• Authorship
information: on
behalf of
whom/supported
by which
institution

11. Granular security
up to the single
value of a single
metadata of an
item
• Dealing with records other than publication requirea much granular
control about “who can see what”.
• Often, there is no global answer that can be appliedto a piece of
information as it could depend on the specific record (the individual
should control the visibilityof his birthdate,gender, researchers could
require to hide detailsabout funders/partnership in specific sector)
• Security is appliedat the APIs (REST, OAI) level

12. Enhanced
statistics
Configurable statistics
report with charts
Include aggregated statistics
about related records
(author’s
publications, projects, etc)c)

13. Subscription
Get a periodic email about new content added and statistics report

14. Duplicate alert!
Automatically alerts the user during the submission if the record is already
present in the system

15. Advanced validation in
submission
DSpace Item Filtering framework can be
used to validate records in submission
Examples include
• Check alternative (at the least one
identifiers must be provided)
• Subsequent mandatory (grant no.
for a funded project)
• Inconsistentvalues (project end
date before first date)

16. Advanced validation in bulk
operation
• Support for excel file
• Collections admin can perform bulk
operation via Excel
• Collection Application profile is used to
validate the information so that not
invalid values or unexpected metadata
can be input also in bulk
• Validation rules (mandatory, repeatable,
controlled list) are verified before to
push the records in the
workflow/repository(admins can force)

17. Graphical
visualization of
search results

18. Administrative
statistics
• Workflow events
• Login events

19. Edit End User Agreement and static text block
(CMS) via UI

20. Highlight content, selected
list…you are in control.

21. Full ORCID
integration
• 4Science is working in moving this feature to the
plain DSpace
• Some aspects are still too advanced to be managed
by basic DSpace: synchronizationof employment,
education, qualification
• Automatic suggestionof missing publications in the
Repository to import from the ORCID profile
• Push selected list of publications and projects
• Include a BibTeX citation in the pushed publications

22. We. Need.
You.
Corrections
& suggestions
from external
providers
• 4Science is working in moving these features to the plain
DSpace
• They are tools to keep your repository information
complete and accurate
• PRs exist for 7.3: please make it a try and help to move
it forward
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8184
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8280

23. There’s too much to say for 24 slides.
• so… see you at OR2023!
• Look around for me! I’d be glad to give you an anticipation
(P.S. as you can see, I’m not blonde anymore, but it’s still me - I promise…I’ll get an
updated pic)
