Five Flavors of Open Access from DuraSpace: FLEXIBLE

Winchester, MA  Delivering open access repository content to diverse and growing communities of information consumers around the world requires the use of flexible technologies that can be customized for use by local research, scientific, intellectual and cultural heritage institutions.

The Fedora open source repository framework is a robust, modular repository system for the management and dissemination of digital content. Fedora's flexibility enables it to integrate with many types of enterprise and web-based systems, offering scalability–millions of objects, and durability–all of the information is maintained in files with no software dependency–from which the complete repository can be rebuilt at any time. Fedora also provides the ability to express rich sets of relationships among digital resources.

The following resources provide a look at Fedora through Hydra and Islandora. Hydra is a multi-purpose application framework featuring individual repository user interfaces and durable asset management features. Islandora is a Drupal-based digital asset management platform.
