Technology used behind Dspace

--> DSpace is a set of co-operating Java web applications and utility programs that maintain an asset store and an associated metadata store. 

--> The web applications provide interfaces for administration, deposit, ingest, search and access. The asset store is maintained on a file system or similar storage system.

--> The metadata, including access and configuration information is stored in a relational database and supports the use of PostgreSQL and Oracle database.

--> DSpace currently support two primary web interfaces: JSPUI which uses JSP and the Java Servlet API and XMLUI (aka Manakin) based on Apache Cocoon, using XML and XSLT. 

--> DSpace holdings are made available primarily via a web interface, but it also supports the OAI-PMH v2.0, and is capable of exporting METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) packages. 

--> DSpace supports the common interoperability standards used in the Institutional repository domain, such as Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting , SWORD, OpenSearch, and RSS. More recent versions of DSpace also support faceted search and browse functionality using Apache Solr.

In May 2009 collaboration on related projects and growing synergies between the DSpace Foundation and the Fedora Commons organization led to the joining of the two organizations to pursue their common mission in a not-for-profit called DuraSpace.  --> Currently the DSpace software and user community receives leadership and guidance from DuraSpace. ...
