Preporučeni formati

Repozitorijum podržava različite formate datoteka. Deponovane datoteke se mogu preuzeti ili pregledati i internet pregledaču. Velike datoteke se ne otvaraju u pregledaču, već proces preuzimanja počinje automatski.

Ako je potreban poseban softverski alat da bi se otvorila deponovana datoteka, to obavezno treba naznačiti u napomeni.

Uvek treba koristiti formate pogodne za dugoročno čuvanje (preporučeni formati). U desnoj koloni tabele su navedeni formati koji se mogu prihvatiti kada preporučeni format nije dostupan.

Although all formats can be deposited in DSpace, it is highly recommended to use formats that are open and sustainable. In case of digital images and multimedia files, lossless file formats are recommended but there are situations when due to large file sizes compromise can be made with the aim of ensuring widest possible access.

Along with the preferred PDF/A format, other PDF variants are currently accepted. These files require conversion, which will be performed in a later stage.

In general, if a non-preferred data file is submitted to the repository, when reviewing the submission, a repository manager will contact the depositor and suggest converting the data file into a compatible preferred format. Poorly documented proprietary or custom formats may be used only exceptionally, when it is not possible to convert files to an open format without compromising data integrity, or in case a data file has already been published in a non-preferred format (e.g. in a journal as supplementary information) and it is important for the primary designated community to preserve it in the repository as it is. Efforts are made to limit such cases as much as possible.

DAIS has the right to convert the submitted data file into any medium or format for the purpose of preservation. In this case, the original data file will be preserved in the repository.
