This is a working page for the in-progress SOURCE migration interface for Fedora.
Goals and Use Cases
Use Case #1: "I've installed Fedora. Now what do I do with it?"
- pulling from local system
- Uploading directly from browser to Fedora (smaller files)
- Pull from an ingest folder on the server (larger files, many files) – allows you to use any FTP/DAV/etc. tool to upload – JWA
- Attempt to transform Zip files (and LoC Bags) into complex objects according to predefined "mappings" (ie. JWA Oral Histories) JWA
- pull from legacy system: intrallect, transforming content from IMS-CP into APP and saving both data streams
Timeline
The SOURCE tool is slated to be showcased in January 2009.
