Open Repositories 2010, DuraSpace has recommended that the DSpace and Fedora
communities investigate strategies to allow DSpace software to run “on
top of” the Fedora platform. The goal of the initiative would be to add
an option to install the DSpace application with “Fedora Inside”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>DSpace
with “Fedora Inside” 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>
<p><span lang=EN style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>More
information about this “Fedora Inside” concept and how it could be
implemented in DSpace is available in the <a
