41. Building a Better Repository: The Fedora API Specification and Implementations

Description:
Fedora, the flexible, extensible, open source repository platform for managing, preserving, and providing access to digital content, is a key component of most Samvera implementations. Fedora 4.x, the latest version of Fedora, has been in production since 2015, and since then the real-world experience of the community’s use cases has clarified Fedora’s role in supporting preservation and access in the context of large collections and performance at scale. This understanding led to an effort to formally specify the Fedora application programming interface (API) that provides a stable layer of abstraction between clients and repository instances. In this way, alternate back-end implementations suited for specific user cases can all expose the same core services to repository clients. This initiative will allow the Fedora project to adapt to technological change more easily over time while insulating clients from changes in the underlying implementation. This presentation will provide an overview of the the API specification effort, including current status, motivations, and benefits, with a particular focus on the relevance to Samvera. A brief survey of alternate implementations will provide context for the different use cases that will be enabled by the specification. This will be of interest to current and future Fedora implementers looking for an update on the current status and technical roadmap of the project.

44. Avalon and IIIF for Audio and Video

Description:
For the past year, Avalon Media System has worked alongside members of the IIIF Community to co-develop the specifications for IIIF Presentation API version 3. This version moves beyond the two-dimensional image plane to include audio and video within the scope of media which can utilize IIIF to describe and manage content for use and re-use both with Avalon and by any viewer capable of presenting an object with a IIIF manifest. Avalon is excited about the possibilities for incorporating shareable structural metadata, as well as the ability to incorporate metadata along the timeline of time-based media. We will provide an overview of IIIF and the application of IIIF to AV content, including structural metadata and other features derived from the IIIF API.

The WG has had two areas of focus, and and to develop materials that can be used to market Samvera. Both areas recognise the need to has been working towards the production of both key messages and communications that can be used by the community when presenting on Samvera to both internal and external audiences. This session will combine a presentation of the output from this work for others to take away and use with a mini-workshop to allow attendees to feed back on the materials and identify priorities for future marketing development.

51. Archiving Hull City of Culture: linking Hyrax and Archivematica

Description:
This talk will present a project at the University of Hull, working with CoSector and Cottage Labs, to create a permanent digital archive of the Hull City of Culture. Hull was awarded UK City of Culture for 2017 and, throughout the year, generated a wealth of digital material documenting the events and activities celebrating the city, as well as archives from the organization and evaluation of the event. The University of Hull, already an active user of Samvera technologies, wanted to build on the work done for the Jisc ‘Filling the Digital Preservation Gap’ by using Archivematica for the digital archives preservation pipeline and Hyrax as a showcase for the City of Culture. We will also talk about how the project was originally conceived, and how that has changed through active and engaged project meetings to reflect ongoing service needs for the management of digital archives, of which the City of Culture archive forms a part. Integration with CALM (archives management solution ) and the existing Hull History Centre Blacklight catalogue (developed by DCE) is being explored to create a fully integrated digital archiving solution.

57. Synchronizing Samvera Repositories

Description:
This presentation aims to explore the possible integration of Samvera digital object repositories with additional web services using message brokers. There have been cases in which it is necessary to synchronize content updates between repositories and additional library systems such as library catalogs or digital exhibit publishing software. Within this context, developers may benefit by exploring architectural pattern in which a dedicated message broker receives asynchronous notifications of repository content updates, new ingestions, and deletions. In response to having received these messages, the broker may then broadcast these events to other listening library systems. The library systems then may reindex or update their own content accordingly. A conceptual overview of this architectural pattern shall be provided, followed by an overview of an implementation local to the systems within the Princeton University Library (synchronizing content between implementations of Valkyrie and Spotlight using RabbitMQ). The outcome of this presentation would be to identify other Samvera adopters who may also be utilizing message brokers, with the ultimate aim of determining whether or not this approach would be beneficial to a larger number of community members.

60. My Life In DevOps and Two years of roaming the AWS landscape

Description:
Over the past two years, Northwestern University Libraries has moved its repository infrastructure and applications to Amazon Web Services. Our initial solution, presented at Samvera Connect 2017, involved AWS CloudFormation, several different deployment platforms, and a lot of manual intervention. In our second phase, we have adopted a fully automated build/configure/deploy system to stand up Fedora, Solr, PostgreSQL, Redis, a Cantaloupe IIIF server, an Avalon Media System instance, a secure CloudFront streaming media distribution, and two Hyrax applications using Terraform, Docker, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and a whole bunch of homegrown tools and hacks. This presentation will provide an overview of our current system, and hopefully jumpstart some discussions of how these tools can be adopted, standardized, and reused among other members of the Samvera community. A video recording of this session is available at the 'Related URL' below., A presentation given at Samvera Connect 2018, originally titled "My Life in Ops, and Docker, Terraform, AWS, and Learning As We Go", described thus
