Two JISC-funded projects at Hull both using Fedora
RepoMMan (2005-2007) Using a repository as part of a personal workflow
REMAP (2007-2009) ‘Intelligent’ objects: records management and
preservation
Alongside RepoMMan and REMAP, the eDocs (beta) repository emerged - using Muradora:
Presentation at the OR08 Fedora days (3rd & 4th April ‘08) about RepoMMan, REMAP and eDocs
Hurried conversation afterwards with Thornton Staples (Fedora Commons) that “we need to talk!”
Slightly longer conversation about the need for a dissertation repository at the University of Virginia and the idea of using some of the RepoMMan/REMAP work.
Meeting in Charlottesville, VA September ’08 Fedora Commons Stanford University University of Hull University of Virginia
Agreement to work together to produce an end-to-end, flexible, extensible, Fedora application kit a ‘Lego’ set of services and templates
Further meetings in October and December
Decisions – amongst which: Open source Use Muradora as a starting point for a functionality specification Use ActiveFedora (Ruby) as the basis of the browser client▪ This brings in Matt Zumwalt and Mediashelf LLC
Use Fedora & ActiveFedora support for content models Abstract the client from the repository (dissemination) Use UVA’s ‘Blacklight’ search engine Complex and compound objects; multiple set membership OAI-PMH support native Three year project but with a usable intermediate product for the
partners for 2009/10 academic year
9/1/09 - First specification
30/1/09 - Mock-up
31/3/09 - Prototype Fedora 3.1 Hydra client creation, editing, admin, access support management of sets (collections) and display rich search (Blacklight) quick and dirty authZ (temporary Ruby solution) support for ETDs but not just that must create sustainable objects
Easter 2009 ‘Go/no-go?’ decision for UVa & Stanford ‘Adopt?’ (and ‘adapt’) decision for Hull
July 2009 Production-ready system for partners that
matches or exceeds functionality and security available in Muradora
2009-2011 Configurable, end-to-end workflows Personal repository space▪ support for versioning with rollback▪ support for sharing/co-ownership▪ support for multiple, simultaneous publish▪ support for multiple user profiles (the same person can be involved
