Open Repositories 2010, DuraSpace has recommended that the DSpace and Fedora
communities investigate strategies to allow DSpace software to run &#8220;on
top of&#8221; the Fedora platform. The goal of the initiative would be to add
an option to install the DSpace application with &#8220;Fedora Inside&#8221;.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>DSpace
with &#8220;Fedora Inside&#8221; would be a version of the DSpace application
which can store its contents (files and/or metadata) in Fedora. The goal is to
retain the out-of-the-box experience that is DSpace, while also enabling the
extra features that Fedora provides (e.g. versioning, relationships between
objects, flexible architecture).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang=EN style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>DuraSpace
is looking for volunteers to help make this concept a reality. This work will
happen in stages, over several releases of both DSpace and Fedora software.
DuraSpace has already volunteering some staff time to help with this
initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
