DSI Development Plans
DSI 1.1.1 has a core set of capabilities with plans to add functionality in future releases. This is user-driven so feel free to raise an issue on the DSI GitHub repo for suggested capabilities.
Current capabilities include the DSI Core and associated DSI data services. The DSI data services include the functionality to store and retrieve user metadata in DSI accessible storage.
