Fedora/Hydra WebAC Alignment
Web Access Control, a W3C standard for interoperable, RDF-based authorization, has been implemented in both Fedora 4 and Hydra. However, until recently the two implementations differed slightly, preventing them from being compatible with one another. The differences have now been resolved, which will allow access controls to be enforced at both the Hydra and Fedora layers. The Islandora CLAW project also intends to implement WebAC as an authorization standard, opening the door to further interoperability between Fedora-based systems.
