MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
DEBRA PLEASE EDIT
I 'm looking look forward to seeing many of you at upcoming events and meetings this fall to share information about our activities and to learn more about how DuraSpace can continue to meet your needs. We are investigating several new opportunities for partnerships with organizations nationally and internationally worldwide to provide our members with access to new types of technologies and user communities. I look forward to sharing will share details about these exciting initiatives as they emerge.
Our 2016 financial goals are within reach as our annual membership campaign winds down. We deeply appreciate your support! If you have any questions about DuraSpace Membership, and specifically how it benefits the DSpace, Fedora, or VIVO open source projects please feel free to please contact me.
This month the DuraSpace hosted services team launched the DuraCloud Enterprise Chronopolis subscription plan offering customers a new level of TRAC-Certified long-term digital preservation in trusted academic repositories. DuraCloud Enterprise Chronopolis is the result of a collaboration with the University of California at San Diego’s Chronopolis service. Read more here.
Our work as a partner with DPLA (The Digital Public Library of America) and Stanford University on the Hydra-In-A-Box project has resulted in significant progress over the summer. Through November our efforts will be focused on repository product development based on results of an extensive design process. This development phase will culminate in a MVP (minimum viable product) for locally installed product testing. Initial MVP repository features will include batch editing of metadata, a new UI, administrative sets, mediated deposit, an administrative dashboard, and complex object support. A playlist of video updates on Hydra-In-A-Box technical progress is available on YouTube.
Warm Warmest regards,
Debra Hanken Kurtz
