Project Overview
<Insert description here>
Collection Description
UNSWorks
- The institutional repository – UNSWorks – contains more than 12,000 objects. These include research publications such as digital theses and conference papers. It includes some metadata-only records as well as objects with file attachments. New records are sourced via the university publications management system (ROS).
ResData
- A research data management system containing over 250 records. The records describe datasets and research data management plans plus related parties (i.e. people) and activities (i.e. grants and projects). Information about people, grants and projects is sourced from other institutional databases via the data warehouse.
Other UNSW disciplinary repositories
- Approximately 25,000 records are stored across 5 other specialist disciplinary repositories. While most are metadata-only records, there is also some managed content such as video files.

Not Versionable
Notes: Record status includes draft, pending, published. Only dataset, activity and party objects can be published (not research data management plans). Published records are versionable = True. Different pid format based on object type (e.g. sample activity object pid = resdataa:2222; sample dataset object pid = resdatac:3333).
Functionality
Storage: Legacy storage (or Akubra)
UNSWorks uses Legacy storage and ResData uses Akubra.
XML metadata : datastreams
See object models above.
XML metadata : inline
See object models above.
Content models
Default Fedora Content Model.
Datastream types (inline, managed, redirect, and external)
Non metadata datastream is a managed datastream.
Identifiers
UNSW uses custom namespaces for PIDs. Some repositories use multiple PID prefixes. All UNSW repositories use handles as persistent identifiers for objects. The ResData repository also uses DOIs for some objects.
Indexing strategies (GSearch, RI-Search vs. F4 approaches)
UNSW uses the Generic Search Service (GSearch) and Resource Index (RISearch) Search.
Replication/Journaling
UNSW does not use replication or journaling.
Security policies: XACML
Default XACML with minor modification for accessing rights metadata on UNSWorks.
OAI-PMH
UNSW does not use the Fedora OAI-PMH module. UNSW uses the Fedora 3 API to export XML metadata and jOAI as the OAI-PMH data provider.
Versions
All datastreams are mostly versionable.
Disseminators
UNSW does not use disseminators.
Audit history
UNSW uses audit history for statistic, preservation, and versioning.
API
Most use Fedora 3 API (REST and SOAP):

- listDatastreams
API_M
