Digital Library Repository Initiative (Rutgers
University Libraries)
  • Objective To provide seamless, perpetual access
    to digital collections -- our resources and the
    resources of others.
  • A flexible framework of core capabilities
    providing the enabling infrastructure,
    interoperability, and sustainability.
  • A multi-application environment for an
    institutional repository, digital preservation,
    and special portals for e-journals,
    dissertations, and digital projects.

Definitions and Websites
  • The Digital Object
  • The digital object is the basic unit of
    management, encapsulating all essential
    information about the document to be
    disseminated and preserved.
  • Digital Libraries
  • . . .organizations that provide the resources,
    including the specialized staff, to select,
    structure, offer intellectual access to,
    interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of,
    and ensure the persistence over time of
    collections of digital works so that they are
    readily and economically available for use by a
    defined community. Donald J. Waters
  • Institutional Repository
  • . . . a set of services that a university offers
    to the members of its community for the
    management and dissemination of digital materials
    created by the institution and its community
    members. Clifford Lynch

The Fedora Infrastructure
  • The Infrastructure (from Fedora)
  • An extensible digital object model
  • APIs for developing new applications
  • Disseminators for specialized object behaviors
  • Scalable, persistent storage for content and
    metadata
  • Content versioning and audit trails
  • Metadata harvesting
  • Development and Integration (by Rutgers
    University Libraries)
  • Design of the digital object architecture
  • Integration of key technologies and standards
    (persistent IDs, digital signatures, etc)
  • Services for collections, preservation and
    security
  • Development of applications
  • Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository
    Architecture
