Fedora repository software

• http://www.fedora.info/
• http://www.fedora.info/documents/WhitePaper/FedoraWhitePaper.pdf
• http://www.fedora.info/documents/master-spec-12.20.02.pdf (technical specification)
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(software)

Fedora is widely regarded as the most flexible of the major repository software systems, and also the most difficult to get up-and-running.

According to the technical specification, Fedora uses METS for its internal storage structure, and provides access to content and metadata via Web Services (using SOAP and WSDL).

Fedora Content Model

What is a Content Model?

• Describes the internal structure of a group of similar Fedora objects
  • Number of datastreams
  • Types of datastreams (MIME types)
  • Number of disseminators
  • Types of disseminators
• Loosely defined; not currently an integral part of Fedora architecture

(from http://www.fedora.info/presentations/jcdl_contentmodels.ppt, slide 10)

The above presentation contains some discussion of the use of content models with images.
