Abstract

This paper analyzes different strategies that can be applied when upgrading a digital repository from DSpace 6 or earlier to DSpace 7. An analysis of this software is made, with emphasis on the architectural and functional differences of the different versions. Then, the experience obtained from the upgrade to DSpace 7 of the CIC DIGITAL repository is described, detailing the path followed throughout the process and highlighting the conflicts that arose during this process, related to the upgrade of the source code and the software platform as well as to the migration of data to the new schema proposed by DSpace 7. Finally, the paper reflects on the different strategies for adopting this software for the different scenarios in which a digital repository that intends to undertake a migration of similar characteristics may find itself.
