由于越来越多的研究机构的产出是数字化的,因此需要一种捕获和保存这种投资成果的方法。为了开始理解和解决围绕这项任务的问题,惠普实验室与麻省理工学院图书馆合作了两年多的时间来开发DSpace,这是一个开源的机构存储库软件系统。本文在开放档案信息系统(OAIS)参考模型的背景下描述了DSpace。特别关注DSpace的保存方面,以及DSpace系统在解决这些方面的现状。给出了及时开发系统所必需的各种设计决策和权衡的原因,并探讨了未来发展的方向。虽然DSpace还不是保存数字研究成果问题的完整解决方案,但它是一个具有生产能力的系统,代表了向前迈出的重要一步,是未来研究和开发的绝佳平台。
As more and more output from research institutions is born digital, a means for capturing and preserving the results of this investment is required. To begin to understand and address the problems surrounding this task, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories collaborated with MIT Libraries over two years to develop DSpace, an open source institutional repository software system. This paper describes DSpace in the context of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model. Particular attention is given to the preservation aspects of DSpace, and the current status of the DSpace system with respect to addressing these aspects. The reasons for various design decisions and trade-offs that were necessary to develop the system in a timely manner are given, and directions for future development are explored. While DSpace is not yet a complete solution to the problem of preserving digital research output, it is a production-capable system, represents a significant step forward, and is an excellent platform for future research and development.
