 Green Stone
 2009 - CMFRI introduced the GSDL
software and uploaded more than
1000 scientific articles by the staff

 It was experienced that the uploading

process was slow

 Generating of metadata in the

software took longer time

CMFRI Institutional Repository 17

 Why ? - Eprints
 Keywords & alphabetized
listing of the author names
search
 Customization of repository
homepage, metadata fields,
and document types
 If required, access to full texts
can be restricted. At times, to
comply with the publishers’
policy the repository
administrator
 Major advantage of less
typing, more quality
 Easy to create new import and
export
 Geographic coverage
Worldwide
 User Registration,
authentication & Password
Administration

 In the latest version of the

software, it is possible to send
an e-mail request to the
authors to get a copy of such
restricted articles.

Eprints vs Dspace debate
(CMFRI’s take)
Eprints Dspace
Finest level of Set framework of meta
granularity- drilling data- may not be
down is customisable customisable
Traditional hierarchy- Advanced with providing
easy to superimpose on independent url tag to
traditional document each and every deposit-
storage systems may not be suited at
migration level
Backend database based Such options are not
advantages like known to exist
enterprise version,
performance
optimisation etc.
