GeoConcerns is a plugin to CurationConcerns for managing geospatial resources in a repository (http, A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus, and //geoconcerns.github.io). This presentation will give an overview and demonstration of GeoConcerns’ features and PCDM-based data model. In addition, we will discuss the code base and future development work such as integration with Sufia. An audio recording of the session is available for download below.

A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus, In this presentation, we will present a software development and deployment process that we have developed at Virginia Tech. We have used this procedure to develop several Hydra projects for University Libraries services at Virginia Tech and have also used it to conduct interviews for Ruby and Rails developers. We implemented a central vagrant box to facilitate the development and deployment processes. Using this vagrant box gives us many benefits, and 1. Code immediately. Our software engineers can focus on coding without worrying about software installation. 2. Unified development environment. All developers do their work in the same, consistent development environment. 3. Development of multiple projects simultaneously. Developers can work on multiple projects in parallel, switching between project environments in just a few minutes. 4. Minimal differences between development environments and production environment. After we finish implementation, we can quickly deploy our applications into a cloud environment (e.g. AWS and OpenStack) that is highly consistent with our development environments. We will present and demonstrate our hands-on experience on how we use a single vagrant box with different GitHub repositories to develop multiple Hydra applications in detail, including Sufia, GeoBlacklight, Fedora, Solr, Vagrant, AWS, and OpenStack.

Archiving Research Data into Hydra through the Open Science Framework (OSF) - A look at initial work of Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins to archive research projects from the OSF into Fedora and Hydra repositories, and first implementation of a Fedora Research Object Model. This plugs into a service offering of the Center for for Open Science, OSF for Institutions (OSF4I). ND/JHU version will be initial support for OSF Fedora Archiving Add-on in the OSF as part of OSF4I offering. We hope to start discussion around next steps for other Hydra institutions to use this along with OSF4I to allow them support to archive research data from the OSF into their own Hydra/Fedora repository.

In the UK, the Universities of York and Hull are looking at Archivematica's place in a research data pipeline. The two universities have slightly different use cases but share the desire to put research (and likely other) content through Archivematica on its way to the repository thus giving us a solid base for long-term preservation. We are both now in the third phase of a joint project to build proof-of-concepts to illustrate how Hydra and Archivematica can work together to manage and preserve research data. Since our project began, Jisc have launched an ambitious UK national research data shared service where a range of suppliers offer systems in different lots. Both Hydra / Fedora and Islandora / Fedora are part of the the ‘research repository’ lot of the service and the work of York and Hull has heavily informed the ‘preservation’ lot, with Archivematica one of the systems on offer. This presentation will describe the proof-of-concept work done by Hull and York, and will provide an overview of the new Jisc service.

Migrating a Fedora 3-based Hydra repository to Fedora 4 can be a major undertaking. This panel will bring together representatives from multiple institutions that either are planning for, are in the midst of, or have completed such a migration. Depending on where they are in the migration process, panelists will talk about their plans for migration, techniques used or expected to be used, obstacles anticipated or encountered, how problems were addressed, and migration outcomes. It is hoped that the presentations and discussion will be useful to other Hydra sites planning such a migration.

Follow-up to last year's presentation about Columbia's Hyacinth editor. Lots of changes / progress since the last presentation. Many TODOs have been TODONE. Hyacinth is a metadata editor, batch Fedora ingest tool and content publishing application that is becoming more and more integrated into our digitization, cataloging and front-end presentation workflows. Built on top of Hydra, but not Blacklight, with a JavaScript-and-AJAX-heavy front-end for many search/editing features. Currently Fedora 3, but hopefully moving toward Fedora 4 early next year. Still under development with additional planned features. I'd love to present and get feedback.

An overview of the Jisc Research Data Management Shared Service initiative in the UK, looking to establish a set of infrastructural components that academic institutions can combine to provide an overall RDM solution.

This will be a half-day, hands-on workshop covering data modeling primarily in RDF. We hope to bring a diverse group of Hydra community members together to learn, discuss, and build out examples that will inform Hydra community best practices for data modeling. This modeling work will be taught in the context of helping Hydra and Fedora development, metadata, and interoperability efforts. We will discuss how model uses a number of standards, and demo the different ways to represent models. We will compare and contract data modeling with metadata standards/profiles. We will walk through modeling efforts around PCDM and its place in our work and community - this workshop will not focus on PCDM alone (this is not a PCDM or RDF workshop). We want this workshop to bring together, develop and engage a larger corps of data modelers in the Hydrasphere. and A workshop delivered at Hydra Connect 2016, described thus
