This talk will also discuss plans for future development and how to build a community of users and contributors for the project., A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus, This presentation will provide an overview of NewspaperWorks, a plugin for Hyrax-based repository applications that provides custom ingest, management, and display functionality for digitized newspaper content. NewspaperWorks can be used to add newspapers to an existing repository, or to create a stand-alone bespoke newspaper content interface. We will cover the major features of this gem, including automated ingest of NDNP batches and PDF issues, newspaper-specific metadata modules, and calendar-based browsing

The University of Michigan and Indiana University collaboration on the development of a research data repository application based on Hyrax, started back in November, 2018. The shared repo, “chimera”, is on samvera-labs GitHub. We will be sharing the progress of the collaborative work so far, and what’s to come in the near future! and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

Join us for an update on Avalon metadata in Hyrax. The Avalon Media System is an open source system for managing and providing access to collections of digital audio and video. The project is led by the libraries of Indiana University Bloomington and Northwestern University and is funded in part by grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. We are working to incorporate Avalon descriptive, technical, and structural metadata into Hyrax, the open-source repository front end from the Samvera Community, creating an AudiovisualWork that can be added to Hyrax as a gem alongside other work types (like GenericWork and Image). We will share our progress so far, including mappings for bibliographic import functionality and how things look different between Avalon 6 and Avalon in Hyrax. Avalon in Hyrax will also be available as a standalone Hyrax application so we are both letting the Hyrax in and letting the Avalon out! Come see how these two critters are getting along! and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus

Wings, the project to move Hyrax to Valkyrie, has been underway for most of this year. What does this transition mean for your existing Hyrax application? How should you account for it in your future planning? How can you take advantage of this work today? This presentation will address these questions for a general community audience. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus
Since 2014, partners from Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Libraries have been collaboratively developing new Samvera-based software to manage and deliver page turning digital objects. In 2018, conversations with Enterprise Scholarly Systems (ESS), a partnership between IUB Libraries, IUPUI Libraries, and University Information Technology Services (UITS), expanded our project's scope. This presentation will highlight our development efforts, now known as the ESS Images project or ESSI. In the past year, the ESSI team has developed numerous improvements to the Hyrax digital repository software. These improvements include the ability to order, structure, and label pages within an item, replicating features available in the Pages Online service launched in 2017. Additionally, the project has implemented optical character recognition search in a community-accepted way, building upon components of the IMLS-funded Samvera Newspaper Works application. We will also discuss upcoming improvements for our existing image collections. In these collections, images often have wildly different metadata profiles from each other. Our recent work has aimed to incorporate a model for flexible metadata developed by the Samvera Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) Working Group within Hyrax. We will be discussing the output of this work as well. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus
As most Hyrax adopters know, Hyrax offers a basic set of metadata properties that it assigns to each new work type. Most adopters will extend that set, to a greater or lesser degree, adding new properties, defining vocabularies and terms lists, and setting other constraints and requirements. Adding new metadata is a complicated process in Hyrax, and there are various ways in which developers have worked to streamline things (eg. scooby snacks, dog biscuits and archetypes). But before we even get to customising a Hyrax application, metadata librarians and developers must collaborate on specifying the metadata requirements. With no community machine-readable approach to defining those requirements, misunderstandings are common, and can be costly. With a machine-readable specification for metadata, metadata librarians could accurately specify requirements and developers could validate and codify those into applications. That’s where the Machine-readable Metadata Modeling Specification (M3) steps in. The specification is the output of the M3 Working Group and is nearing its version 1.0 release. This presentation will provide a walkthrough of the specification, show how to construct and validate a new M3 profile, and illustrate the benefits of M3 for both metadata specialists and developers. and A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus
A panel presentation at Samvera Connect 2019 described thus and As a Hyrax application developer, setting up a development environment is well documented within the community. Simply go through the Github README, install the prerequisites, and the development environment is practically ready to roll. Setting up a Hyrax production environment? Now, that’s a different story. Once an application is ready for production, there are a number of important decision points and configuration options that are less well documented within the community. This session will highlight some of those configuration options and include a discussion about how we can move forward, as a community, in communicating, sharing, and documenting how the characteristics of a repository should be considered before setting up a Hyrax production environment.
