Goal

Complete and document the migration of the UVa repository from Fedora 3.x to Fedora 6.x.

Scope

This project includes the following:

Installation of a Fedora 6.x instance
Metadata and data model mapping
Complete data migration
Documentation of API changes and mappings between Fedora 3.x and 6.x
Documentation of the process and decision points

The project team will not make direct changes to the front-end repository interface, but will assist local developers with this process.

Deliverables

Documented metadata and data model mappings
Updated migration utility capable of completing UVa data migration
Verification tool to ensure data has been fully migrated with no loss
Fully migrated repository dataset
Functional Fedora 6.x instance populated with all migrated data
Documented Fedora 3.x to 6.x API changes and mappings
Documented migration process and outcomes

Requirements

Technical resources:

Server provisioned with sufficient space and operating environment for Fedora 6.x and migrated data
Exported Fedora 3.x data
List of metadata schemas and fields
List of data models
