[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] Week 4: Bitstream types

[Sands Fish]

Dorothea,

Concerning current work in the Bitstream type area of DSpace  
development, I presented at Open Repositories 08 ( http:// 
pubs.or08.ecs.soton.ac.uk/127/ ) on Larry Stone's (lcs at mit.edu) work,  
which greatly enhances DSpace's ability to handle and potentially  
disseminate file-types of various non-standard form.

For more information on this work, see the extensive documentation here:
