Import/Export Tooling

One of the design goals of Fedora is to simplify the process of both getting your resources into and out of Fedora in a standardized way. This enables the reuse of Fedora resources in other contexts, such as exporting to a separate preservation system, as well as provides a pathway for migrating across Fedora installations

...

. This design goal is being met by an external import/export tool that supports transacting in RDF and (optionally) BagIt bags.

We will be organizing another code sprint to address phase 3 requirements in the near future. If you would like to participate as developer, tester, or to write documentation, please contact Andrew Woods.

Performance and Scale

The Performance and Scale group met on February 20 to review outstanding issues related to the Fcrepo performance tool. The group plans to submit a grant proposal for AWS Cloud Credits for Research to secure resources for testing infrastructure. Tests are also being defined to address particular issues raised by the community, such as resources with many links to other repository resources, migrating large amounts of data from Fedora 3 to 4, and maintaining referential integrity within the repository.

If you would like to participate in the Performance and Scale group please attend the next meeting on Monday, March 20. 

The third import/export sprint was completed in December, and stakeholders have had an opportunity to test the new functionality and provide feedback. If you would like to try out the utility please check out the README file for instructions.

API Extension Architecture 

The first milestone release of the API Extension Architecture is now publically available. A Docker-based demonstration of API-X with accompanying step-by-step evaluation guide has been prepared for those who are interested in concretely exploring API-X and providing valuable feedback. An introductory video providing an overview of API-X can also be found on YouTube. This milestone and demo represent the culmination of a year of design and development effort from a broad swath of the Fedora community, and has been helped along by an IMLS National Digital Platform grant. The next milestone release is planned for late March.

The API-X team holds regular monthly meetings. The next meeting will take place on Thursday, March 16 at 1pm Eastern time.

Conferences and events

In an attempt to simplify the task of keeping up with Fedora-related meetings and events, a Fedora calendar is available to the community as HTML  and iCal .
