0
0

An agenda

  • DH needs in particular
  • existing open source DR: DSpace, Fez, Fedora Commons, Drupal
  • Complexity vs usability
  • Institutional concerns
  • Software selection, procurement
    • Where to start looking for solutions, sifting information
    • Size of the community around an open source project – institutional risk.
    • crowdcrafting.org

Open source repository projects

  • DSpace and Fedora Commons – duraspace.org/
    • DSpace is the “turn-key” web repository system – www.dspace.org/
    • Fedora Commons is a pure repository framework
  • Fez – PHP web front-end developed by University of Queensland on Fedora Commons
  • Islandora – islandora.ca/ – Fedora Commons modules for Drupal 6 and 7
  • Project Hydra – Fedora Commons code for Ruby On Rails – projecthydra.org/

Open Online tools

Software Carpentry – learning programming

Proprietary systems

Rosetta from Ex Libris, at National Library.

How can OSS projects help bridge gaps?

  • Collate digital preservation policies, find the feature gaps, write some code!
  • e.g. Open Providence Model, in Fedora Commons.
