The Fascinator is an Apache Solr front end to the Fedora commons reposit= ory. This project is funded by ARROW, as part of the mini project scheme. T= he Fascinator is written in Java. It drops into the Tomcat server that come= s with Fedora. The goal of the project is to create a simple interface to F= edora that uses a single technology - that's Solr - to handle all browsing,= searching and security. This contrasts with solutions that use RDF for bro= wsing by 'collection', XACML for security and a text indexer for fulltext s= earch, and in some cases relational database tables as well. We wanted to s= ee if taking out some of these layers makes for a fast application which is= easy to configure. So far so good.

Robertson Library is releasing the their Fedora-Drupal module Islandora = as opensource. There is a Islandora project hosted by Fedora Commons here. = The Islandora module allows Drupal users to view and manage digital objects= stored in Fedora. There is a demo Amazon ec2 image running here http://ec2-75-101-195-219.compute-1.amazonaws.com/= . The ami has both Drupal and Fedora installed. The disk space availa= ble to for this image is limited. If you use Amazon's EBS you could g= et upto a terabyte of space. There is also a S3 adapter written for F= edora that could be used. If you have an Amazon AWS account you can launch = your own version of the image. The public image name is ami-e9d23680. Once = the image is started you will have to login to the newly created image usin= g ssh and start Fedora. To start Fedora cd to /usr/local/fedora/tomcat/bin = and type ./startup.sh. This will start Tomcat which will bring up the Fedor= a web application. You will then be able to use a browser to view your new = ami instance by browsing to the ami's public DNS address. We have created a= google group to act as a mailing list for the Islandora module. You = can send email here islandora@googlegroups.com or visit here http://groups.google.com/group/islandora.

Enhanced Content Models have a number of new features compared to the Fe= dora 3.0 content models. First of these is the more elaborate specification= of the data objects. Second is the repository view system, which allows th= e repository to dynamically remap the contained data to virtual data object= s. And third is the object creation templates, which allows the content mod= els to behave as object classes from which new data object instances can be= made.
All our work is under the Apache 2.0 License, and is/will be available a= s add-ons to Fedora.
Fedora is an extensible repository system, containing data objects and c= ontent models, which hold descriptions of the data objects that subscribe t= o them. In Fedora 3.0 Content Models express the classes of objects, and ti= e data objects to disseminators, but do little else.
Content Models are formal descriptions of data objects, which should be = distinguished from datamodels, which are descriptions of collections of dat= a. Having a datamodel is a requirement for many digital repositories and th= e easiest solution is creating an interface that only allows data to be ent= ered in a special format. If all data is input through this interface, it w= ill adhere to the datamodel. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of cou= pling the datamodel to the program code of the interface.
We believe that the datamodel should not be part of the interface, it sh= ould be part of the repository. We achieved this by enhancing the Content M= odels. The Enhanced Content Models can specify the cardinality and target c= lasses of relations, and schemas for datastreams. We have implemented a val= idator, which checks data objects against their Content Models. A set of En= hanced Content Models makes up a datamodel.
In Fedora, you might have atomic objects making up a "record", but for i= ndexing purposes, this record must be flattened to one compound. Enhanced C= ontent Models can specify how to do this flattening, in the repository view= system, and we have implemented a webservice to create such compounds.
In many OO programming languages new objects are created as instances of= a class. Enhanced Content Models implements this pattern. You can declare = certain data objects to be templates for an enhanced content model. We have= developed a webservice that can create new objects in Fedora, given a cont= ent model and a template to use as basis.
