FEDORA: Digital Object Repository

FEDORA is flexible extensible digital object repository architecture

Open source repository software

Developed at Cornell University and the University of Virginia Library

Used to manage digital resources owned or licensed by ASU libraries; and act as a platform to archive digital materials from the ASU community

Page 3: Digital Crossings: Transcending Borders, Creating Enduring Online Resources FEDORA & ASU KnowledgeNet  .

FEDORA: Why is it Valuable?

Gives remote access to otherwise inaccessible materials, or difficult to find items

Houses collections of scholarly import in one location

Reveals relationships amongst objects via metadata that may not normally be readily apparent

Curates objects that might otherwise be lost or remain inaccessible

FEDORA: Behind the Scenes

It is equipped with a powerful digital object model

Includes: persistent ID, datastreams, metadata, remote/local references, disseminators (how object may be represented or displayed)

It provides means for metadata management

It provides a powerful framework for managing relationships between digital objects

Page 5: Digital Crossings: Transcending Borders, Creating Enduring Online Resources FEDORA & ASU KnowledgeNet  .

FEDORA: Behind the Scenes

Locally managed content or reference remotely

Can reference remote collections outside of ASU Libraries... Mexico, Canada, the world

Web service integration

Can easily integrate with other products no matter what programming language or web development environment

Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), Open Archives Initiative

It provides means for harvesting metadata of digital objects stored in the repository

FEDORA Applications

ASU application gateway to FEDORA is called KnowledgeNet

It is designed to look to similar to other familiar search engines; such as GOOGLE and YAHOO

• Flash-based Relation Browser tool

• A Visual navigation of relationships expressed in FEDORA records

• Animation is created consisting of circles (representing entities) and connecting lines (representing relationships)

Searching for an article will show not only the article but also any relationships to the article

These circles can be expanded to show other relationships, so the tool encourages exploration like browsing a book shelf

Knowledge Relationships Browser

Collaborating or affiliated institutions may sign in (with guest access logon and password) and search and access FEDORA digital repository

Affiliated partners can contribute unique collections to the repository

Clicking on a link will establish a session where hyperlinks are context-aware, e.g. you can see full text if it is available

If there is no ASU login, and no guest access has been established, hyperlinks will then point to OCLC Worldcat link revolver
