This Data Modeling Guide is meant to help Fedora users, particularly those who are not administering or developing a Fedora instance, understand more about working with Fedora as a digital repository. Concrete examples and recommendations have been provided by institutions, organizations, and communities using Fedora now.
Example Content Models
Includes examples of use cases contributed from different institutions showing different ways to model content in Fedora.
Metadata Recommendations
Fedora can store metadata in any format, including common formats like XML and JSON. Additionally, Fedora enables RDF properties to be defined for objects it stores or references. This includes all types of metadata, such as technical, rights, provenance, and descriptive. Managing metadata in Fedora means considering how best to make use of RDF and Linked Data. This section also includes metadata crosswalk and mapping recommendations from different community efforts using Fedora.
