DSpace at Princeton University is open for business!

DataSpace can now be used to store papers and data.  From the homepage:

"DataSpace is a digital repository meant for both archiving and publicly disseminating digital data which are the result of research, academic, or administrative work performed by members of the Princeton University community. DataSpace will promote awareness of the data and address concerns for ensuring the long-term availability of data in the repository."

There are papers from 2 groups or communities available so far: 

Civil and Environmental Engineering
Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs

There is a useful "About" page, and the "Help" page gives you the mechanics of running searches using the Jakarta Lucerne search engine, which bears lots of similarities to Google.

  3. We’ve just begun utilising this as part of our application upgrade testing. Most applications, based on databases, have some form of database upgrade component (e.g. SQL upgrade scripts applying update and insert statements) when you upgrade the application. This tool has proved priceless in assisting us determine the before and after modifications as part of an upgrade. Rather often we’ll operate the this tool against a fully populated database and showing the outcomes to a developer will shed light on all sorts of issues. A wonderful time saver and very capable. Worth a trial run if nothing else.
