Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

DSpace Interest Group Presentations

The Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, Ukraine (IBSS) and Hasselt University (Belgium) are developing with the support of FAO of the United Nations a new version of AgriOcean DSpace named AOD 2.0, as an add-on for DSpace 4.0 and later. It works further on the specifications of AgriOcean DSpace 1.x including the type-based submission module, the use of controlled vocabularies (ASFA, AGROVOC) and an easy-to-install version for Windows. While AgriOcean DSpace 1.x was created as a fully customized version of DSpace 1.7.2, AOD 2.0 is developed with a modular approach. Different stand-alone modules are developed and integrated with DSpace 4.0: Ontology Plug-in, Category-based Submission, Batch Import for Submitter. They are made available as AOD 2.0, an easy-to-install package for Linux and Windows.
