Fedora is currently on version 4, and there has been a community discussion on how to better incorporate preservation functions into the platform. Last I checked in, the main topics were support for PREMIS and the relationship between the Fedora repository, storage APIs, and fixity checking.

 

At its core, Fedora is mostly performing storage functions (such as receiving AIPs, checking fixity (optional), and providing an API to assemble DIPs) and data management (mostly storing serialized versions of descriptive metadata). Specific Fedora implementations like Samvera, Hyku, etc will add additional applications on the platform to create interfaces for ingest workflows and access platforms.

Yes indeed, thanks all for helping me get a grasp on things like vendor claims.

Well said Mark. And I really appreciate the details on Fedora from Bruce and Eld.

Mike,

 

Lots of vendors/developers claim OAIS compliance. That's why we have ISO 16363 and ISO 16919 so that such claims can be put to the test. As Eld points out, Fedora is not an implementation. OAIS is about how an Archives implements a repository - what policies they implement, how they determine their Designated Community, how they design their Information Packages, etc. Many vendors/developers claim OAIS compliance for their products, but that is a non sequitur.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Mark

Hi Mike

 

Although often misunderstood as such, Fedora is not an implementation, but a triple based platform to structure data (as RDF store). As they say in the headline of their home page https://duraspace.org/fedora/ "Fedora is the flexible, modular, open source repository platform with native linked data support". Taken it to the extreme, calling Fedora an implementation would for me be the same as calling "Oracle database" an implementation. There are many different repository frameworks (with different implementations) that are Fedora based, like Samvera (http://samvera.org/) and Islandora (https://islandora.ca/).

 

Best Regards, Eld

DAI:  Does anyone have background on  <https://duraspace.org/fedora/about/> Fedora?  Another implementation, but they claim a pretty strong connection to OAIS.  Have they ever participated in DAI?  

 

I ask because my Google contacts are starting to connect with them.
