This page details an ideal from Open Repositories 2010 which was loosely called "DSpace with Fedora inside". Since that point, this concept never gained leverage or momentum in the DSpace or Fedora communities. It is now considered outdated/obsolete based on the latest technology roadmaps for each platform. At this time, there are no immediate plans to merge DSpace and Fedora or rebuild DSpace as a Fedora-based application. For more information on the direction of both DSpace and Fedora, please consult their respective technology roadmaps. |
This space contains communications of interest on the DSpace and Fedora Commons collaborations. This includes information about how we plan to collaborate and how you can participate. Our communities have a common mission and there are numerous ways we can join forces. You can also participate by contributing to the developer's discussions in both communities.

| IntroductionIn 2008, the DuraSpace organization made the recommendation that the DSpace and Fedora user communities work together to integrate the DSpace and Fedora technologies, allowing the DSpace software to run "on top of" the Fedora platform. Essentially, this would mean that the DSpace application would have an option to install it with "Fedora Inside". DSpace with "Fedora Inside" would be a version of the DSpace application which would store its contents (files and/or metadata) in Fedora. The goal of this effort would be for DSpace to retain the out-of-the-box experience, while also enabling the features that Fedora provides (e.g. versioning, relationships between objects, flexible architecture). You can read more about this recommendation in the FAQ that accompanied the proposal: DSpace-Fedora Integration FAQ InvitationWe look forward to the community collaboration on the DSpace/Fedora integration effort in these and other areas. Please contact Brad McLean (bmclean@duraspace.org) or Valorie Hollister (vhollister@duraspace.org) if you and/or your institution are interested in being a part of the work groups on any or all of the above areas, or if you have related work.
