Description
Fedora is a robust, open-source digital repository platform focused on long-term preservation best practices and designed with flexibility at its core. Used by a wide range of institutions from around the world, it is an ideal choice for anyone with diverse, complex, digital collections. From institutional repositories preserving diverse digital content, to cultural heritage archives safeguarding artifacts in highly structured, yet flexible ways, Fedora's adaptable architecture supports a wide range of use cases.
This presentation will explore Fedora's flexible architecture and how it is used to support a wide range of implementation and data models. Presenters will explore how Fedora's support for preservation best practices (including fixity checking, content versioning, and the Oxford Common File Layout) make it an ideal choice for institutions seeking to safeguard their digital assets long term. Attendees will learn how Fedora is used around the world to manage and preserve everything from research theses and dissertations, to research datasets and digitized historical records. We will explore how Fedora's modular, standards-driven approach can help ensure your digital collections remain accessible and trustworthy into the future.
Finally, we will discuss current and future development plans for the software and how to get involved in the vibrant community of users.
