EASY On Fedora: building on the latest generation repository infrastructure
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on the EASY On Fedora (EOF) project that aims at building the next version of the EASY repository software, an online repository tool for Dutch scholars in the humanities, arts and social sciences. This paper presents an overview of the software’s system architecture, the lessons learned from one year of collaboration with the German funded eSciDoc project, the use of a multi-tier architecture in a repository setting and our intentions of using portlets for a collaborative repository platform. This paper concludes with a vision that has evolved out of our involvement with repository software and a critical look at the current state of repository services.
