The DSpace User Group Meeting will bring together the community of DSpace users and developers to share experiences, report progress, and discuss possibilities for the DSpace platform and federation of adopters.
Presenters and other participants are yet to be finalised, but some of the guest speakers include:
Robert Tansley of HP Labs
Mackenzie Smith of MIT Libraries Digital Library Research Group
The theme of this user group is "Building Communities with DSpace". Particular emphasis will be placed upon the integration of the DSpace digital repository software within the dynamics of particular institutions, disciplines and research communities . This general theme will be addressed at two broad levels:
Technical Developments, including:
Integration of DSpace with institutional applications and processes
Networking, federating, or running multiple instances of DSpace
Cross-institutional integration or collaborations
Software developments around DSpace and their functional impact on the user community
Internationalisation and multi-lingual support
Local customisations: rationale and impact
Identity and Authorisation Management
End-user Service Issues, including:
Working with communities
DSpace implementation analyses
End-user experience of DSpace functionality
Understanding and meeting user expectations of DSpace
The meeting will also address architectural issues related to the future directions of the DSpace software.
We invite you to participate actively in the DSpace User Group Meeting by giving a presentation on any of the above themes. Call for presentations is now open.
This DSpace User Group meeting is intended to appeal to current and prospective users of the DSpace digital repository software (even users of other digital library software). The meeting will be relevant to:
software developers
library and archive staff
repository system admins
information infrastructure policy makers
IT managers
those involved in supporting electronic publishing programs
The DSpace User Group meeting has been designed to address not only new software developments but also some of the human and policy issues that surround the digital repository software.
This User Group meeting is collaboratively hosted by the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) . An organising committee is responsible for reviewing presentation proposals and developing a program. The DSpace User Group is one event in a set of interlinked events, called Open Repositories 2006 and sponsored by the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR).
