DSpace Reimagined - semantic search that finds more

Transform your DSpace into a discovery engine with AI-powered semantic search. Discover our game-changer for exploration of scientific output. 

Key benefits of implementing AI Search into your DSpace

  • Higher relevance: results ranked by meaning, not just keyword matches
  • Faster discovery: users find what matters in fewer clicks
  • Cross-collection linking: surfaced relationships across theses, datasets and reports
  • Multilingual reach: embeddings map concepts across languages for global discovery
  • Transparent source attribution: every answer cites its origins.
  • Full reliability: only trusted sources of information are included in the results

Non-obvious benefits for your repository

  • Hidden connections revealed: semantic links surface interdisciplinary links that keyword search misses, creating unexpected research leads.
  • Improved metrics - increased discoverability drives higher downloads, reuse and citations, raising repository impact.
  • Operational uplift: automates many routine discovery tasks, freeing staff for curation and strategy.
  • Simplified entry point for non-expert users, allowing people without deep domain knowledge to meaningfully use the system.

Technical snapshot

  • Semantic encoding: the system transforms documents and queries into vector embeddings that capture underlying meaning rather than exact wording.
  • Targeted retrieval a vector index identifies the closest semantic matches, ensuring the system returns content that truly aligns with the user’s intent.
  • Generative reasoning: the retrieved passages guide the model as it produces responses grounded in the repository’s content, resulting in accurate, coherent, context-aware answers.

Who benefits?

  • Researcher​
    • Is your researcher overwhelmed by the volume of institutional content and struggling to find relevant, cross-disciplinary works using keyword searches?
    • ​AI search uses meaning-based retrieval to surface related literature, datasets and methods rather than relying solely on keyword matches. It can extract experiment details and produce concise summaries, with direct links to the underlying repository items and supporting data. This speeds literature reviews and helps researchers discover novel connections more efficiently.​
  • Student​
    • Is your student overwhelmed by the volume of institutional content and struggling to find relevant, cross-disciplinary materials using keyword searches?
    • AI search uses meaning-based retrieval to surface related readings, datasets and study methods rather than relying solely on keyword matches. It can extract key findings, assignment-relevant details and produce concise summaries, with direct links to the underlying repository items and supporting data. This speeds literature reviews and helps students discover novel connections and prepare coursework more efficiently.
