DSpace 6 XMLUI vs DSpace 7 comparison

Will need to test locally

• Video playback: @keithgee, I created an item on DSpace 7 Demo and uploaded .mp4, .vtt, and .png files to the item. When I clicked on each file in Item View, it downloaded the file but did not display it. Tim confirmed that the media players are disabled on Demo. We will need to test this on our test server.
• we'll need to test IIIF player locally
• Media-filter
• customizing submission form
• item level customization of submission form
• check item submission per item type, does it play with multiple item types?
• Creative Commons step in submission form (disabled by default)
• Handle redirection (DSpace 7 only uses local URLs like https://demo7.dspace.org/handle/10673/9084.)

Test on DSpace 7 Demo and DSpace 6 XMLU Demo

• Simple Item View and Full Item View seems fine
• Statistics:
  • DSpace 6 XMLUI "View Usage Statistics" in DSpace 7 "Statistics" in header. Same content: Total visits and views. "View Search Statistics" and "View Workflow Statistics" missing, not critical.
  • Legacy stats are missing.
• Metadata registry: functionality is equivalent
• Import Metadata: functionality is equivalent, although I think it was patterned on JSPUI, producing a file for both the preview and real upload that includes the changes and handles of the created or changed items. This could be useful for recording uploads.
• SWORD v1 and v2 both yielded service documents
• REST-API seems ok
• OAI-PMH comparable to DSpace 6
• Want to browse collections and other browse? with fewer clicks
  • home page has 5 communities, click next page shows 5 more
  • collection browse page has 20 communities, clicks add 20 communities
• No recent items on home page; Is that configurable?
• The item page URL now has the UUID instead of handle, e.g. https://demo7.dspace.org/items/32192b5b-6edb-41f5-aaa3-cbc39a172394 for https://demo7.dspace.org/handle/10673/8854
• Edit Item:
  • Edit metadata: DS6 has dropdown box of all possible values; DS7 no dropdown, you have to type but then has suggested auto-completes. Can copy metadata field to new value but error because of zero width spaces. (Need repetition for adding ETD advisors, etc.)
  • Authorizations - when you change group, it doesn't initially appears on policies page.
  • Item mapping - can map from both Edit Item and Edit Collection pages so better than DSpace 6 XMLUI
  • Bitstreams - ordering bitstreams is drag and drop which is much better than DSpace 6 XMLUI endless clicks.
• Check HTML support for abstracts, etc. - both DSpace 6 and 7 Demo do not display new lines nor render the HTML tag <p>. DSpace 7 does not preserve line breaks in metadata. - showstopper - don't want to lose abstract formatting
• Administrative search - very nice
• Curate: Works; The curation task seems to run without error but https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1322 describes the lack of results output.
• Processes New: needs to know command line switches, etc. Control panel in DSpace includes SystemWide Alerts, Current Activity; compare to Health
• Health - Status and Info cover most of DSpace 6 XMLUI Control Panel - Java Information and Configuration
• • can't (yet) upload a zip from the front end but still can from the command line
• Added our support for Create "System Wide Alerts" feature for Angular UI #1537
• Added our support for Display full hierarchy of chosen collection (during submission/workflow) #1340
• check logos for CC license; not enabled on DSpace 7 Demo, so need to test later, see https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Configuration+Reference#ConfigurationReference-ConfiguringCreativeCommonsLicense
• can one select more than one item type in submission? - no
• submission form uses onebox instead of name input-type for author name
• subscribe to a collection, https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Functional+Overview#FunctionalOverview-Subscriptions - not yet implemented
• email address no longer in provenance field?
• test request a copy

Notes

When one registers for an account they submit an email address. They have to click on the verification email, then agree to the End User Agreement, which we will have to write.

Possible feature requests

• Rights.org statements

We will need to consider how we will display videos in DSpace 7 and what files they support/need. Test: upload a short mp4 with captions to https://demo7.dspace.org/ and see if the video and captions play.

check RSS and ATOM feeds.

[alawvt]

Make a list of lists per https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1764#issuecomment-1215161906.

[alawvt]

Done, at least for now.

Continued in #819

Another local only issue - if we are going to remove Nginx, (and I do think having fewer components is a good idea), we'll need some guidance from the sysadmins on how to handle forwarding from old, deleted urls of duplicate items to the remaining item, which is now handled with nginx. From previous gitlab issues and projects:

https://code.vt.edu/it-services/vtlibans_dspace/-/issues/159 https://code.vt.edu/it-services/vtw-handle-redirects

Can traefik handle this directly? Do we need a different file format and a different process, or can we use the same?

Continued in #820.
