Abstract

While digital library (DL) systems continue to become more powerful and usable, a certain amount of inherent complexity remains in the installation, configuration, and customization of out-of-the-box solutions like DSpace and Greenstone. In this work, we build upon past work in the 5S Framework for Digital Libraries and 5SL DL specification language to devise an XML-based model for the specification of DLs for DSpace. We pair this way of specifying DLs with a generator tool which takes a DL specification that adheres to the model and generates a working DSpace instance that matches the specification.
