Understand what Samvera is and how to participate Understand how to use Samvera Understand the value of Samvera Samvera is a community, a set of tools, and a collection of ready-to run and hosted applications to help build a digital repository for your institution. The community drives the specification and development of sustainable open source technology and honing best practices for managing digital content. This workshop will provide an on-boarding and general entrée to the Samvera community and solutions for non-coders. The first part will provide an overview of Samvera solutions, hosting options and the community – what is it, why is it different? It will showcase applications solving a diverse set of needs and organizations, and discuss the how the community at large works to enable these. The second part will give a general technical overview designed for a non-technical audience. The resources needed to maintain and contribute to a hosted or custom Samvera solution will be discussed, resources that exist to get started will be highlighted plus how to contribute to the community technically and non-technically. The final part will discuss value and how to pitch Samvera and get institutional support. It will discuss the advantages of being part of the community and how that strengthens the sustainability of the tools, the applications, and the community overall. and Slides from a workshop given at Samvera Connect 2019 and described thus

At Samvera Connect 2019 there was a small number of presentations about ongoing work on Wings - "a Valkyrie adapter with data compatibility with Active Fedora" as part of the technology stack under the Hyrax gem. There were references to "Hyrax on Wings" and, almost inevitably, two related hex sticker designs emerged.

A presentation given at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and This presentation will cover the initial work to move the University of Michigan’s Deep Blue Documents repository from DSpace to Hyrax on Samvera and also merge it with the U-M data repository, Deep Blue Data, which is already on Hyrax. Deep Blue contains more than 120,000 items and has been around on DSpace since 2006. The Deep Blue Data repository started in 2016. Presenters will discuss steps taken so far to migrate and merge the repositories, including creating a minimum viable product (MVP) list, testing migration, addressing challenges so far, collaborating between IT and service providers, and determining next steps.

How to Write Module-Based JavaScript with RequireJS and the AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) PatternTired of worrying about load order for your script includes? Tired of polluting the global namespace? Want to write more re-usable JavaScript code with discrete modules? Maybe RequireJS / the AMD pattern is right for you! This presentation will go through the construction of a simple RequireJS-based JavaScript app with a few modules. and A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus
Fedora is the flexible, extensible, open source repository platform that commonly underlies Samvera implementations. Fedora provides a number of core services that Samvera already uses, such as CRUD operations, versioning, and fixity, and several new, potentially useful extended services have been introduced within the last year. The API Extension Framework provides a means of binding services to repository objects in order to extend the functionality of Fedora, while the Import/Export Utility makes it easier to get content into and out of Fedora in standardized formats and packages. This workshop will introduce both of these new services and discuss how they might be used in the context of Samvera. Participants will also have an opportunity to try them out via hands-on exercises in combination with a virtual machine. and A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus

Using Git and GitHub for managing metadata (no new data models, we promise)This session is proposed as a two-part workshop, A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus, and The first will cover a modified version of the ‘Version Control with Git’ Software Carpentry lesson, tailored for a non-developer audience, with more focus on metadata. This is typically taught as a half-day (3 hour) workshop.The second part will focus on the use of Git and GitHub in the context of the metadata workflow. We will present examples and strategies, taken from recent work by UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego, of version control, pull requests, and automated hooks and integrations as they relate to moving metadata through a workflow and into our repositories. In addition to these demonstrations, we hope to spend a good percentage of the time available in discussion with other interested institutions and how we might leverage our collective experience to make getting our metadata into our repositories easier, more consistent, and maybe even more fun!

A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus, Managing Samvera-based Projects and Services, and This hands-on workshop will cover tools and techniques to help managers decide whether to spin up a new Samvera repository, manage the process of building that repository, and maintain the repository once it is in production. We’ll cover the project lifecycle for migrating to Hyrax, defining roles within your team, keeping in sync with community development efforts, managing documentation, and managing user expectations and needs.

Fulcrum is in its third year of developing a publishing platform on Samvera (and is now running on Hyrax). Given the recent interest in possible successor solutions to Digital Commons / bepress, I think this could take the form of a workshop with 3 parts, 1. Presentation of the service model that Fulcrum is being built to support, 2. Presentation of the features and architecture of the platform, with an emphasis on Epub support and publishing workflows, A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus, and 3. A group discussion of the kinds of publishing-related service requests attendees are hearing from their communities who are concerned about the Elsevier acquisition of Digital Commons / bepress, and what interest is there in a coordinated community effort around support for publishing and fully-encoded texts.

A presentation given at Samvera Connect 2017 described thus and In this session we will give a quick background of Hyrax and offer a status update on current Hyrax work including the 2.0.0 release and the new testing process for releases. We will also discuss our early plans for the 2.x series of releases including updates on Collection Extensions work, Valkyrie sprints, plans for new Analytics features, and other potential work in the 2.x series. Last, we’ll talk broadly about roadmapping for Hyrax and what we might expect from Hyrax 3.0.0 and beyond.

Want to move beyond a simple autocomplete field for controlled vocabularies? Want a more accurate selection process? We will look at a Hyrax demo app that uses questioning authority to search linked data authorities and extracts multiple predicate values from search results to provide additional context in a lookup table to help with the selection process from a controlled vocabulary. The presentation will include direct access to OCLC Fast, locally cached access to Library of Congress and GeoNames, as well as others. and A presentation given at Connect 2017 originally advertised as "Lookup with Context to select metadata values from a controlled vocabulary" and described thus

A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and Presentation on a gem for Hyrax models and authorities, which provides a central place for creating models for different types of works. Each new model draws on a central pot of properties to declare the set of properties needed to fully describe the particular work. The gem already exists and has sample models for journal article, thesis and more. In this presentation we will work through the process of defining a new model and then using that model in a Hyrax application. The idea behind the gem is to make it easier for developers to deploy new models, and provide a place for metadata folks to jointly define re-usable models.
