The Fedora™ Project

Title:The Fedora™ Project (ID: CSD3384)
Topics:Digital Collections, Institutional Repositories, Learning Objects, Open Source
Origin:Community Contributions (2004)
Type:Tools
Abstract:The Fedora project was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to build an open-source digital object repository management system based on the Flexible Extensible Digital Object and Repository Architecture (Fedora). The new system demonstrates how distributed digital library architecture can be deployed using web-based technologies, including XML and Web services.

Jointly developed by the University of Virginia and Cornell University, the system completely implements the Fedora architecture that was originally conceived of at Cornell. Fedora is a general-purpose digital object repository system that can be used in whole or part to support a variety of use cases including: institutional repositories, digital libraries, content management, digital asset management, scholarly publishing, and digital preservation.
