What is DSpace?
• Open-source software for creating digital repositories
• Driven by demands to have all outputs and products available and accessible
• Stewarded by DuraSpace with input from the user and developer communities
• Not a “library” management system

CGIAR Circa 2008
Our research outputs and results were in bad shape!
• Addresses were not permanent• Not on the internet (or digital!)• Not captured• Kept inside intranets
![Page 5: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DSpace Helps Make Information “F.A.I.R”
Free: no subscriptions, passwords, or “paywalls”Accessible: is publicly available (long term)Indexed: can be found in search enginesReusable: has a permissive license
Addresses both the moral and legal imperatives… aka the “carrot” and the “stick”.

History of DSpace at ILRI
Before: InMagic, physical library2009: ILRI launches Mahider (“repository” in
Amharic)2010: Other CGIAR research centers and programs
join our platform and share hard / soft costs2011: Rebranded as “CGSpace”2015: 8 CGIAR centers, 5 CRPs, other projects,
~50,000 items, ~200k hits/month

“Mahider” in December, 2010
![Page 8: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“CGSpace” in October, 2015
![Page 9: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s coming soon in CGSpace...
![Page 10: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Primary location for institutional outputs! (No posting PDFs on corporate website!)• Content people embedded in each department
help capture results (presentations, papers, brochures, etc)
• Integrate with website and blogs via RSS feeds (Direct ALL traffic to DSpace!)• For data sets, videos, etc we make a metadata-
only accession with a link to eg YouTube
How ILRI Uses “Mahider”
![Page 11: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is “CGSpace”?
• “Multi-tenant” use of a DSpace application• Shared admin, look and feel, publishing,
content management, hosting, training and support
• Enhances access to—and use of—knowledge (~30,000 open access materials currently)
• Indexes and preserves outputs by giving persistent identifiers
• Allows searching across centers, CRPs, projects, etc
![Page 12: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
open access + open standards + open licenses =
enhanced visibility of research outputs
Publications, journal articles, books, training materials, project reports, factsheets, links to digital audios, videos, presentations and posters
Hosted content Content ‘out’
Harvested content
CGSpace as “Publishing”

Running “CGSpace”
• We are “cost” and “expertise” sharing• Requires “more than basic” expertise to exploit in terms of
admin, customization, interface, content architecture• All code changes deposited in GitHub (where main DSpace
code development now is)• Staff time—Linux admin, information systems and content
specialists• Dedicated production and development servers• Active Yammer network• Annual CGSpace partners meeting
![Page 31: The road to CGSpace](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062412/586f795f1a28ab10258b6f4f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ongoing Work
• Migration of legacy content by centers• Align CGSpace metadata to draft “CG core”• Upgrade to version 5 (testing in the past two
weeks) brings many new features, like ORCID, Linked Open Data, etc
• DSpace to WordPress• DSpace to Drupal• AGROVOC plugin• Harvest from other DSpace instances
