Description: Investigate alternatives to internal coding of the ETD system.
Projects: Documentum, DSpace, ETD
Priority: 99 Task ID: 581
Long Description: Two products may provide similar features to the ETD system: DSpace and Documentum. We should investigate for release 4 whether either of these should be selected instead of coding our own project.

Due: Version 4 Opened: 12/12/2003

8/19/2004 DSpace is not an appropriate product. Although it supports a workflow, it is quite restricted and not as flexible as this project requires, at least as BYU has defined it. Documentum is still an unknown. At the point that Documentum is available to us, we will investigate its usefulness as an ETD tool.
