DSpace Add-ons
Add-on Name Description Version Compatability Revelant URLs Contributor
Commenting The Commenting add-on consists in a set of classes, servlets and custom tags that bring informal communication capabilities to the DSpace environment. The informal communication is assured by a threaded forum that can be attached to any DSpace resource: web-page, community, collection, submitted item or e-person. The add-on allows comments to be inserted by anonymous users as well as by authenticated ones. Functionality for reviewing comments is also provided with the add-on. 1.1.1, 1.2 Link This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Request Copy The purpose of this feature is to increase both the content deposited in an IR and its immediate usability by providing a way to accommodate the (frequently unfounded) worries of authors and their institutions about copyright infringement during any publisher embargo periods on public self-archiving, by creating a semi-automated mechanism whereby would-be users can request and authors can email an individual copy of a full-text deposited with access set as A. packaged for 1.4.x, but runs on 1.5.1 as well Link This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Statistics An add-on to the DSpace platform that allows gathering, processing and presenting usage, content and administrative statistics.

Lightweight JHOVE format validator and virus check This patch uses JHOVE to provide rough-and-ready format checking by identifying that the file/bitstream extension matches formats verifiable by JHOVE. (Currently DSpace accepts a deposit's file extension as gospel, so a user could tack a ?.txt' extension onto a GIF and DSpace would assign the incorrect format to the file based on that incorrect extension.) It also checks the file for the presence of viruses. 1.4.x, 1.5.x Link University of Michigan
Tombstoning When an item is withdrawn, the user selects from 3 reasons for placing the item in tombstone: 1. Removed from view by legal order; 2. Removed from view by the [authority doing removal]; 3. Removed from view at request of the author. 1.4.x, 1.5.x Link University of Michigan
