… for E-Theses
• Default Submission Procedures‒ Flexibility with metadata and storage methods; lacks
some of the fields that will be required for E-Theses, and the flexibility to change this easily.
• Archiving and Access‒ Geared towards Digital Preservation; supports OAI-
PMH v2.0 and has good restriction features
• Administration and Security‒ Configurable with superior methodology, although
some shortcomings exist: workflow is rigid; no supervisory facilities; policies are too complex to administer quickly and easily.
