<p class="MsoNormal">DSPACE is format agnostic, meaning you can upload any file in any format. The software recognizes formats on the basis of file extension. In other words: out of the box there is not format verification.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#5856D6"><br>
</span>At Princeton we maintain several data collections in our <a href="http://dataspace.princeton.edu/">DataSpace</a> instance. With the help of our librarians we devised a custom submission form tailored towards collecting metadata for data sets. In addition
we have best practice recommendations, like: add a README file, stick to formats commonly used in your discipline. The library developed a <a href="http://libguides.princeton.edu/rdm">Research Data Management Guide</a> with a section on file formats and data
organization. Mostly we rely on the researchers to make format judgements under the assumptions that it is in their own best interest to organize their data appropriately. DSpace is not particularly well suited for big data sets. Our biggest file is 43GB,
which is definitely pushing the limits of the software. <br>
<span style="color:#5856D6"><br>
</span>Another issue arises when researchers want to upload data and receive a permanent url so they can share it with publishers during the review process of a related article. Once the article is published they often want to add the articles url/doi to the
metadata maintained in DSpace. This is a classic chicken and egg problem. Once DSpace creates a permanent url, it does not allow regular submitters to change anything about the submission. So either the researcher finalizes the submission after article publication
or a DSpace administrator has to enhance the submission’s metadata with the article url later on.<br>
<span style="color:#5856D6"><br>
</span>I hope this helps, <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm also interested in this topic. I recently came across this implementation from Montana State University (<a href="https://scholarworks.montana.edu/xmlui/handle/1/11515">https://scholarworks.montana.edu/xmlui/handle/1/11515</a>). I've
just figured out how to do it. I did an similar experimental dataset on my school's IR platform (<a href="http://dr.tcnj.edu/handle/2900/2236">http://dr.tcnj.edu/handle/2900/2236</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As for the file format, I know that at least it works with cvs, txt, doc, jpg, and zip. I didn't try other formats.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Another thing I don't know is how big the file size can be for each item. Does DSpace have file size limitation?<o:p></o:p></p>
