Hi all, I'd like to go more in depth around what Tim already said. Cineca is proud to offer all the functionalities, concepts and idea behind DSpace-CRIS to the mainstream community. The code is already available (since 2012) and shared with the same license as DSpace (BSD).
We are strongly convinced that a modern IR needs to manage a rich data model where new entities are necessary to better describe the primary object managed by the repository (the digital object). When this digital object is indeed a publication and the context is the academic research we envision that a better understanding of the whole research ecosystem is appropriate, and this is where DSpace meets CRIS (or RIMS) systems. Our expectation is to have an enhanced DSpace where the "CRIS" can become a specific profile (or configuration), living side-to-side with grey material repositories, data repositories, digitalization projects, museum, etc. Cineca is also engaged with the project of a new single UI for the DSpace community: DSpace-CRIS will be still here in the next years hopefully as part of the standard distribution or as a more lightweigh extension that will play nicely with the new single UI whichever it will be. That said, if there is enough interest we are also available, for those who cannot or don't want to wait for the new UI, to make a simple integration of DSpace-CRIS with XMLUI where a migration to JSPUI is not an option.

Hi David, Correct, CRIS is only for the JSPUI at this time. Currently DSpace-CRIS is essentially a separate application, based on the DSpace JSPUI and supported primarily by CINECA (who developed DSpace-CRIS). While you can migrate to DSpace-CRIS from an existing DSpace, it changes the underlying data model (so you are no longer running the out-of-the-box DSpace). More info here: http://cineca.github.io/dspace-cris/ While migration of DSpace-CRIS into "core" DSpace is not yet on the RoadMap, there have been informal discussions with CINECA on trying to find a way to make CRIS easier to "enable" or "install" for those who want that type of functionality (so it isn't an entirely different application with a different data model). But, this idea is dependent on coming up with a better definition/structure for DSpace third-party "modules" (which is on the RoadMap), so that we can better enable/support this sort of "plugability" in DSpace. More info on the Roadmap in general is at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RoadMap - Tim On 6/17/2015 8:06 AM, Schuster, David wrote: > Just wanting to be sure.
