“…Widely used free and open-source digital library software DSpace was considered to apply the newly designed metadata schema. Here, the study adapted the methodological approaches of Mukherjee and Das (2020) and Das and Sutradhar (2018) to apply this schema in DSpace. For this study, we considered the currently most stable version 6.3 of DSpace that was released in 2018.…”

“…Usage of multiapproach high-level language JAVA makes DSpace system powerful in handling multiple applications simultaneously like, security control, clients request, matric analysis (Kirkegaard and Møller, 2006). In a free case, compared with MySQL (50 MB), usage of PostgreSQL (200 MB) offers better storage capacity for a single field in DSpace (Mukherjee and Das, 2020). It has a powerful indexing system with Apache Solr on top of Lucene .…”

“…Though one can customize this DC metadata schema to incorporate the new metadata schemas. However, this method is not appropriate to meet all the activities of DSpace (Burde, 2021; Mukherjee and Das, 2020). Therefore, from the DSpace admin interface, the proposed schemas were included directly through namespace registration.…”

“…4.2.1 Selection of free and open-source software. We use digital library software because it provides the ability to manage and store bibliographic and nonbibliographic data for a variety of library items, such as images, videos and documents, and it can be easily done by using any kind of FOSS (Barve and Dahibhate, 2012;Mukherjee and Das, 2020) digital library software. The best advantage of using a FOSS is that it allows customization as needed by the administrator.…”

Purpose In the absence of a working model for describing, managing and archiving the human library resources, this study aims to attempt a practical approach that will provide all the necessary information to the library users, library professionals and researchers. Design/methodology/approach Initially, different metadata standards, archival projects and attributes of the human books were reviewed to identify appropriate metadata standards that accurately describe the resources of the human library. A free and open-source software; DSpace was considered for implementing newly defined metadata schema in this study. Thereafter, a set of new subject entries was incorporated to standardize the contents of the human library. Findings This study finds that the widely used metadata schema – Dublin Core (DC) is not appropriate to describe the contents of the human book. It shows that selected metadata elements from the types – person and event of schema.org can be used for describing, organizing and archiving the resources of the human library. It further highlights that existing subject entries are not sufficient to standardize the contents of these types of resources. Research limitations/implications Two metadata fields in DSpace are strongly recommended by the DSpace community to consider in the input-forms.xml file, that is why the study could not completely omit DC metadata elements in describing human books. Originality/value The study provides a roadmap to the library professionals on the inclusion of new metadata schemas in describing the uniquely featured resources of the library.

“…It addresses how these two institutions customise Library of Congress’s extensible stylesheet language transformations mapping to transfer DC metadata to MarcXML metadata and how they export MARC data to Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) and Voyager. Mukherjee and Das (2020) highlight the practical experiences about implementing a data schema in DSpace for managing museum and cultural resources and includes how the DSpace is used to build a digital archiving system for museum and cultural resources and shows. Yang (2016) analysed the search results of four main internet search engines on newly created digital collections and assessed the search engine indexing on metadata and portable document format (PDF) files of digital items published in the institutional repository.…”

Purpose This paper aims to present a novel DSpace-based medical image repository system planned explicitly for storing and retrieving clinical images using digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) metadata standards. DSpace institutional repository software is widely used in an academic environment for accessing and mainly storing text-related files. DICOM images are particular types of images embedded with much system-generated metadata and organised using DICOM metadata standards. Design/methodology/approach The present paper talks about institutional repository software (DSpace) in archiving DICOM images. In the current study, the authors have tried to integrate the DICOM metadata standard with DSpace, which was compatible with Dublin Core (DC) and open archives initiative – protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH). After combining the DICOM standard with DSpace and the repository tested with a sample of 5,000 images, the retrieval results using various DICOM tags was very satisfactory. This study paves for the use of open source software (OSS) in storing and retrieving medical images. Findings The author has provided the DSpace software to recognised DICOM (.dcm) files in the first stage. In the second stage, a patch was developed to identify the DICOM metadata standard in Dspace, which has inbuilt DC metadata standards. Finally, in the third stage, retrieval efficiency was tested with a 5,000 .dcm image using the DICOM tag and the results were very fruitful. Research limitations/implications A major limitation of this study was the size of the data (5,000 DICOM images) with which the authors have tested the system. The system scalability has to be tested on various fronts like on cloud and local servers with different configurations, for which a separate study has to be done. Practical implications Once this system is in place, DICOM users can stock, retrieve and access the image from the Web platform. Furthermore, this proposed repository will be the warehouse of various DICOM images with reasonable storage costs. Originality/value In addition to exploring the opportunities of free open source software (FOSS) implementation in medical science, this study includes issues related to the performance of an open-source repository for retrieving and preserving medical images. It created and developed Open Source DICOM Medical Image Library with DICOM metadata standard with the help of DSpace. Thus, the study will generate value for library professionals and medical professionals and FOSS vendors to understand the medical market in the context of FOSS.
