Hi Marko,

The answers to all of your questions are available from the DSpace 
documentation at http://dspace.org, or you can look at the OSI checklist 
for institutional repository software at 
http://www.soros.org/openaccess/software/. If you find you have specific 
questions that aren't answered anywhere already, please feel free to ask 
again on the list.

Best wishes for your research,

MacKenzie
