Architecture of the Digital Publication Repository on the DSpace Platform

Abstract

This article conducts an analysis of the architecture of DSpace - a popular open-source platform for managing digital repositories. The features of the structure, components, and advantages of this architecture in the context of digital storage and information management are examined.
Digital repositories have high practical significance and relevance in the scientific community, providing access to scientific data and enhancing the convenience of working with information. These repositories are systems for storing, managing, searching, and disseminating digital data and documents, ensuring centralized information storage, long-term availability, and preservation. They cover a wide range of data - from scientific articles and dissertations to archival materials and more. They support metadata standards, facilitating information search and organization, as well as contributing to its qualitative analytics.
The architecture of DSpace is based on modularity and extensibility, allowing the repository to be adapted to the specific needs of the organization, providing various functional capabilities for organizing and managing digital resources, enabling the addition, editing, and management of metadata for digital objects, offering search and discovery functionality for digital resources using a variety of search parameters, result filtering, sorting, and more. Deep exploration of the architecture of digital repositories enables the creation of efficient, reliable, and user-friendly tools for storing and exchanging information. The DSpace architecture includes a database, business logic, user interfaces, and capabilities for expanding functionality. Researching and understanding these details allow developers to create innovative and functional digital repositories, meeting user needs and ensuring secure information storage.
