Dspace at ILRI: Choices we made
• Organize contributions by content type
(publications, multi-media, articles datasets, etc)
• ‘Map’ items across to projects, themes, teams
(organization structure – link to web sites)
• Dublin core the basic metadata
• Several ‘extra’ fields (regions, subject areas, CRPs)
• Get many people contributing content (a few
editors)
• Keep Dspace as ’standard’ as possible
• Work with Dspace specialist consultant/partner
