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.

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.

A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and Princeton University Library has spent the last two years developing Plum as a staff-only ingest platform for books, manuscripts, geo-spatial data, and archived ephemera. This talk would go through a history of the design goals, the successes we've had, the problems we've run into, and a look into the future.
A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus, it’s not fun to have an ingest fail overnight and spend the morning tracking down why. Programmatically testing and validating digital object metadata prior to ingest helps us avoid these failures. The metadata itself is managed by Git and stored in GitHub, Several years ago UCSB incorporated Git/GitHub and JIRA into our metadata management and batch ingest workflows. Since then we’ve looked at repurposing other development tools to provide lightweight and automated solutions to problems we often face. One is that we rely primarily on batch ingests when adding content to our Samvera repository. As a result it’s especially important for the metadata to be error-free, and this allows us to run automated checks against any changes using Jenkins and some custom libraries we’ve written for validating CSV and MODS metadata. In this session, we will provide an overall of our current ingest preparation workflow and the tools we are using, and will discuss some of the benefits that have come out of this collaborative effort.

A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and In this presentation, we present Fedora 4’s performance in different use cases. These use cases are the most general use cases that were developed by the Fedora 4 performance team. We compare the performance between different versions of Fedora 4 and demonstrate the improvement between these versions. We will also describe the procedures of these performance experiments and demonstrate the software we use (Ansible, AWS, and JMeter). Our performance experiments are conducted in the AWS ecosystem, and we use an R graph tool to visualize the JMeter result. With the AWS grant, we can do many different performance experiments in many scales. Moreover, it is easy to repeat and verify the performance results using AWS. The Fedora 4 performance team wants to know more about the Samvera community’s interests related to the Fedora 4 performance. We plan to gather more use cases from the Samvera community, including middleware such as Solr, Camel, and Fuseki, etc. We can investigate, explore issues, and continue enhancing the future of Fedora 4.

Valkyrie is a new persistence layer for Samvera, designed to address performance and sustainability problems. It was developed through the existing Samvera Working Group process, showing that the current Samvera community governance structure can be used to tackle big problems. Valkyrie features pluggable persistence options, allowing Samvera applications to use not just the historical combination of Fedora and Solr, but also other options like Fedora or Solr by themselves, PostgreSQL, and local disk. Allowing Samvera applications to use different persistence options refocuses the Samvera community, shifting away from persistence in Fedora as the defining aspect of the community. Instead, the focus shifts to the shared tools built by the community. and A presentation at Samvera Virtual Connect 2018 described thus

Northwestern University Libraries is currently running Samvera applications in production. Three of these are developed, maintained, and managed by the Repository & Digital Curation workgroup, * Arch, an Institutional Repository, based on Hyrax 2.4.1 * AVR, Northwestern's audiovisual repository, based on Avalon 6.3 * DONUT, the staff-facing ingest interface for the digital object repository, based on Hyrax 2.4.1 In developing and deploying these applications, we have encountered (and mostly overcome) numerous stumbling blocks relating to performance, scalability, customization, and assumptions about the deployment environment and infrastructure on which the apps will run. While we have found it possible to shoehorn the Samvera stack (as it exists today) into our Amazon Web Services cloud-based deployment environment, we have also started to investigate the rewards and compromises involved in taking a cloud-first approach to our next generation of tools. We have identified several basic tenets for this approach so far, * If AWS offers a native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for a particular problem, use it (e.g., choose ElasticSearch/Cloud Search over Solr) * Avoid virtual server instances that run 24x7 waiting for requests/work * Do not assume there is a local filesystem to work with * Optimize startup time so that units of work can be spawned and killed as needed * Constantly assess and reassess every unit of work for scalability, repeatability, and idempotence * Keep data portable and code adaptable, but don't over-stress about vendor lock-in In this presentation, members of the Repository Development & Administration Team will present on lessons learned from 7 years of working with Samvera, Avalon, and Hyrax, what the future holds for our next round of in-house development, and the opportunities & compromises our cloud-first approach creates regarding our use of and contributions to the larger Samvera community., and A presentation at Samvera Virtual Connect 2019 described thus
