Hi all, I am a member of the University Library of Osnabrueck (Germany). We are looking for a solution to enable an open access structure in our university. The software DSpace seems to us a possible candidate for our system. But unfortunately the information we found at http://www.dspace.org/ and the various other sources, could give us not all information to determine whether DSpace is suitable for us or not. Could You please answer the following questions about it?
* Does DSpace have service devices (like SOA or SOAP)? * Is it correct that DSpace does not have an internal storage management, which would mean (e.g.) to compress documents which are not accessed for a given period, or to move them to an other storage location (e.g. a tape server) if the last access is much older? * And is it possible to bundle / relate different versions of the same document, e.g. preprint and postprint? * Does DSpace keep track of different versions of the same document to have a history of minor changes (compared to pre- and postprint)?
