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 regards,
Debra Hanken Kurtz
