Project Types

For the sake of sanity, we break these out into The Fedora Repository Product itself, then Complete Solutions, Services & Utilities, Libraries & Frameworks, Content Models, Workflow-ish Components, Plugins, and Serializations & APIs.

Currently the most complete listing of available software is in our community software registry.

The Fedora Repository Product 

 The repository service that is at the core of Fedora is managed by a community-based committers group that maintains the integrity of the core software, both with their own code and by working with other members of the community to integrate their contributions.

Complete Solutions

Examples of Complete Solutions

End-user facing solutions that cater to specific use case(s), ie. Institutional Repositories (IRs), Virtual Research Environments (VREs), Data Curation Systems, etc.

  • Islandora
  • Muradora
  • VITAL
  • Hydra ETDs
  • NSDL EduPak
  • RODA
  • Fascinator

Services & Utilities

Self-contained, purpose-specific software that is either used on-demand or acts as an integrated part of overall deployment. These are either run constantly, on an ongoing basis, alongside the repository or invoked by a person.

Examples of Services & Services

  • GSearch
  • Workflow Engines
  • Permissions Manager
  • CModel-based Constructor
  • Version Wiper
  • Djatoka
  • Solr, Lucene
  • Bulk Updater

Content Models

CModels and associated Service Definitions & Service Implementations that can be used with the Fedora CMA

Examples of Content Models

  • Djatoka Content Models

Workflow Components

Small chunks of code for performing specific tasks. These can be used & re-used as building blocks in larger processes. Often, these are wrappers for software & utililties that are not Fedora-specific. These are meant to be invoked by an external program or process.

Examples of Workflow Components

  • JHOVE
  • PID/UUID generator
  • generic object updater
  • Bots (ie. work-do bots)

Plugins

OSGi plugins and alternatives for components within the core (ie. Triplestores)

Examples of Plugins

  • JMS Queues (RabbitMQ)
  • Triplestores
  • FeSL/Security
  • Storage Plugins (Akubra)

Serializations & APIs

Examples of Serializations & APIs

Means for exposing Fedora Repositories and Fedora Content by structures other than FOXML and Fedora's existing APIs.

  • OAI-ORE, OAI-PMH
  • SWORD
  • Fedora METS Profile
  • Fedora ATOM
  • JSON
  • RSS
