[Dspace-general] Checklist for evaluating open source digital library software

[Richard Davis]

Hi all

Peter Suber's OA News blog recently led me to this paper:

Dion Hoe-Lian Goh and five co-authors, A checklist for evaluating open 
source digital library software, Online Information Review, 30, 4 
(2006), pp. 360-379.

As Peter comments, the omission of DSpace from the packages studied is 
puzzling, given that Eprints and Fedora were included.

<http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2006_09_03_fosblogarchive.html#115757931418206316>

All the same, the checklist in the published article seems very thorough 
and informative. Has anyone else looked at this paper with DSpace in 
mind; or know of any comparable comparative studies of the main 
contenders (D,E,F,G...)?

Cheers!

Richard
