DuraSpace Community Project

Title: Create a tutorial that explains how to create a digital version of a paper document in a Fedora repository.

Requestor: Thorny Staples, Director of Community Strategy and Alliances and Director of the Fedora Project, DuraSpace

Community Area: The Fedora Project

Description: The goal of this project would be to create a set of Fedora objects that provides a digital surrogate for a printed text in a repository and to write a on-line tutorial on the DuraSpace Confluence-based wiki that explains the process of doing so. I would provide some training for the person who takes on the project on Fedora basics, content modeling and the use of the web client to create the objects.

A text object and a set of page image objects would be created and added to our cloud-based demonstration repository, and the tutorial would be added to our documentation. The work would include creating content model objects, some metadata files, digitizing a small number of page images, and creating a METS file to describe the book and how the page image objects fit together. If you are interested in this project, contact me (tstaples at duraspace dot org).
