The KnowledgeBase is under development and has been made viewable to the user communities to allow for content contributions and feedback. Please post your content in the appropriate section and/or feedback in the comments section located at the bottom of each page.
Goal:
Improve entry level experience, show what technologies can do - what it is, why do I need it, DSpace vs. Fedora - why chose one over the other, use cases examples, how to set up a repo and get started.
- develop on-line materials (similar to Ruby's RailGuides: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/)
- each topic has: (a) Screencast, (b) Text-based Guide, (c) Powerpoint based, and, if available (d) link to relevant video/wedinar
- Next steps
- create table of content page and a team for each project, solicit feedback
- create wiki space for education curriculum
- create examples for each vehicle: (a) Screencast, (b) Text-based Guide, (c) Powerpoint based
- DSpace:
- Basic intro on XMLUI - w/screencast, text guide and Powerpoint
- install/set up process (paragraph descriptor only w/references and future plans)
- What is DSpace?/Why use DSpace? Jonathan working on already
- Fedora:
- installation
- conceptual Fedora (what is an object? what is a Fedora repository?)
- What is Fedora? Why use Fedora? Jonathan working on already
- DSpace:
- develop a contributor process
- all materials need to be reviewed/approved - make sure information is accurate and there are no writes violation, ensure a copy is permanently stored in a repository
- all contributors to sign license agreements
- Apache 2 both ICLA (individual) and CCLA (corporate) licences, and then Creative Commons on the content - use one of the some rights reserved - future opp to pkg up and profit from it $
