[Dspace-general] Week 4: Bitstream types

[Dorothea Salo]

I know I'm seriously late on last week's chat summary; it's on my
to-do list for today. Sorry about that!

This week's question has to do with bitstreams. DSpace is designed
around discrete papers contained within single bitstreams, and it also
handles websites reasonably well. The question is: what else do you
have, what have you done with/to DSpace to accommodate it, and what
else do you need from DSpace?

Bram de Luyten asks: "Would you recommend DSpace to an organization
with needs to use it as a repository for very specific filetypes,
different from standard documents (for example, audio or video
repository ...) ? Why (not) ? And what if they want to store "many
different things" ?"

I'm feeling laissez-faire this week, and this is something of an
additive question, so go ahead and read other folks' answers before
adding your own.

Dorothea
