Current priorities in Hydra community
...
- How important is the self-deposit aspect of Sufia? Can Sufia be leveraged into a more traditional resource storage / metadata creation tool?
- Deposit can be locked down by group / role.
- What about worthwhile?
- Sufia has only one data model (file). No such thing as a compound object. Worthwhile has more than one data model. However, more are expected to be added to Sufia.
- worthwhile also is not on fedora 4. but this may happen.
- case.curationexperts.com (example of worthwhile - non-persistent)
- Posted to the list by mjgiarlo:
* When do you need multi-file works? If you need them NOW, Worthwhile is probably a better fit. If you can wait some months, Sufia will support them (and will implement them in a way that is faithful to the emerging Fedora Community Data Model).
* When do you need Fedora 4 support? If you need them NOW, Sufia is probably a better fit.
If you need both now... you've got a nice chunk of work for yourself in the coming months. ;) (By which time we may have an initial implementation of multi-file works under way in Sufia.)
- examples:
- github/KevinSmithLibrary/absolute - application using worthwhile
- sufia: scholarsphere at penn state
Questions
- Where are configuration files? Can configuration be set up as environment variables or otherwise external to repo?
- How does fedora handle preservation? E.g. checksums.
- What are the encoding defaults of metadata and databases in Hydra?
- what data modeling has to be done in addition to what fedora / hydra already provide (or will provide)?
- how / when is bagit used with fedora? hydra?
- default URIs? Should these be changed? If so, to what?
- DEFER (may not be relevant): what are the graph manipulation tools in fedora? how are these accessed from hydra? Or is it just taken care of when API requests are made?
- Re: audit service: what is a premise?
- Re: Ordering, what is a proxy? Also has a meaning outside the context of ordering.
- What db are most people using? postgres?
