- 8. DSpace - Data Model
- 9. DSpace - Data Model This data model is “baked in” to DSpace you can’t really change it or customize it But you can give it a “fancy coat of paint” i18n customization allows you to change any text you wish, on any page of DSpace example:“collection” can become “project”
- 10. DSpace UI alternatives the future DSpace has a mature REST-API Several prototype UIs were created to replace the out of the box UIs for DSpace Ruby on Rails, Play! Framework, Angular2 DSpace 7.0 will ship with a new Angular2- based UI as the only out of the box UI
- 11. DSpace UI alternatives right now DSpace has two out of the box UIs XMLUI (based on Apache Cocoon) JSPUI (based on Java Server Pages) SkylightUI is based on CodeIgnitor (a lightweight PHP MVC framework) provides a public interface to the Solr metadata and bitstreams housed on a DSpace repository
- 12. Vagrant-DSpace https://github.com/dspace/vagrant-dspace A handy way to get some real experience with working on a DSpace repository Also a great way to “onboard” a new developer: is a complete development environment for DSpace
- 13. Vagrant-DSpace https://github.com/dspace/vagrant-dspace The README is full of great info size the VM appropriately, via the local.yaml file in the config folder (use half your host machine’s memory at the most) https://github.com/DSpace/vagrant- dspace/blob/master/config/local.yaml.example #L35
