By mid-2026, the de facto standard for repositories will be renewed with the release of DSpace 10. At 4Science, we are working on a key initiative: the integration of the DSpace-CRIS extension into the core platform. DSpace-CRIS, the first extension implementing CRIS functionalities for DSpace, introduces an innovative approach to entity linking through the existing Authority Framework. On the other hand, the standard DSpace platform relies on a different mechanism, the Relationship Framework. This proposal outlines our analysis of the differences between these two frameworks, the strategies adopted to ensure their coexistence during the merge process, and the best practices for their correct and efficient use in the new unified architecture. Future DSpace releases will aim to deliver a fully unified solution.
