One of the design goals of Fedora is to simplify the process of both getting your resources into and out of Fedora in a standardized way. This enables the reuse of Fedora resources in other contexts, such as exporting to a separate preservation system, as well as provides a pathway for migrating across Fedora installations. This design goal is being met by an external importImport/export Export tool that supports transacting in RDF and (optionally) BagIt bags.

  • Lossless import/export of Fedora resources and all other resources associated by user-provided predicates as outbound relationships (e.g. pcdm:hasMember) or inbound relationships (e.g. pcdm:memberOf)
  • Export of Fedora versions
  • Export from a Fedora deployed on a given host/port followed by import into another Fedora on a different host/port

Additionally, the related Import/Export Verification tool which is designed to provide assurance that exports from or imports to Fedora were complete and successful is approaching its next milestone release.

A new release of the import/export utility including these improvements will be available soon. If you would like to participate as developer, tester, or to write documentation, please contact Andrew Woods.
