Getting Started with DSpace 7

DSpace 7 is a major step in the evolution of the DSpace platform and repositories in general. While retaining its ease-of-use, out-of-the-box goals, DSpace 7 features a brand new, client-side, responsive user interface (built on Angular), a full-featured, self-describing REST API, a powerful new configurable object model (featuring typed Items and relations between Items), and alignment with the COAR Next Generation Repositories recommendations (via a new ResourceSync interface and Signposting support).

This workshop, which provides the first comprehensive training on DSpace 7.0, will be split into two half day sessions:

* Basic Training: The first half day will concentrate on installing or upgrading to DSpace 7 (Audience: Anyone). Activities will include overview of install/upgrade process, new features, new configuration options, and hands-on UI branding.

* Advanced Training: The second half day will concentrate on advanced customization of DSpace 7 (Audience: Developer oriented). Hands-on activities will include advanced enhancement of the UI (beyond basic branding), how to use the REST API, and contributing back.
