As recently discussed on the mailing list [12], interoperability between Hydra, Islandora, and other Fedora front-ends is now a real possibility, thanks largely to a convergence on common practices and procedures in Fedora 4:

  • Islandora is currently in the process of porting content models into PCDM [13]
  • Hydra has groundwork in place (the hydra-pcdm and hydra-works gems)
  • Hydra has some LDP practices to share
  • Islandora has some asynchronous workflow practices to share
  • There is common interest in WebAC (and a working implementation in hydra-access-controls)

Two meetings have been scheduled to help move this initiative forward:

  1. An informal meeting [14] at Hydra Connect [15] in September
  2. A full-day hackfest a Islandora Camp Connecticut [16] in October

. At a meeting in Minneapolis on September 21st, 15 Fedora stakeholders, including representatives from Hydra and Islandora discussed what would be required for minimal interoperability. In this context, "minimal interoperability" was defined as ingesting/updating resources in Hydra over Fedora 4, and having a simple administrative view of those resources in Islandora over the same underlying Fedora 4 (and vice versa with Islandora on the ingest side). Discussion circled around:

  • common use of PCDM
  • requiring at least an rdfs:label attribute on resources

Fedora 3 to 4 Migration Interest Group

Following a recent Fedora 4 workshop that included a session [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kmaRuLQd9qm3RmfN-qZ03rtHuEYvdDZml0Ms4SHniQg/edit?usp=sharing] on migrating from Fedora 3 to 4, a Hydra interest group [Fedora 3 to 4 Migration Interest Group] was formed to work through the details and document the process for migration in the context of a legacy Hydra application. Please join this interest group as it is still in the early planning phaseIf you are interested in helping to move this initiative forward, please follow the discussions on the mailing list, and sign up to attend one or both of the preceding events if you are available.
