how to add project and how to promote project to Project-Hydra. In addition we will examine a few nominated projects to see if we can promote them., We will examine Hydra-Labs and the processes we should adopt for it including, and A workshop given at Hydra Connect #2 described thus
In the last few years, as the Hydra partnership has grown to encompass twenty-five institutions, management of services for Hydra heads in production has become a topic of recurring interest and concern. What are the basic goals and requirements for successful service management of Hydra-based technologies? What roles need to be in place? How should user services be fostered and assessed? This panel session, conducted by three service managers from three different institutions, will address some common approaches to inform the start of a community toolbox for service management of a production Hydra head. and A panel session at Hydra Connect #2 described thus
A brief update on the current state of Fedora 4, followed by a high-level feature discussion for managers and a hands-on test drive for developers. and A workshop given at Hydra Connect #2 described thus
//wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Applied+Linked+Data+Working+Group, https, A workshop delivered at Hydra Connect 2016, described thus, and This workshop is all about techniques to use linked data within your Hydra based application. For example, autocomplete fields from a controlled vocabulary are nice... but what if you wanted to give more context to what users are selecting via things like alternative labels and broader / narrower concepts? How do you cache triples locally? How do do you publish your own controlled vocabulary for others to use? And what is the best way to make your RDF data harvestable by others? This workshop is based on work done by the Applied Linked Data working group
A workshop delivered at Hydra Connect 2016, described thus, increasing familiarity with PCDM, contributing back to PCDM from the activities of the participants, and increasing participants’ familiarly and comfort with data models more broadly., and The Portland Common Data Model (PCDM) is a flexible shared, linked data-based domain model for representing complex digital objects. This workshop will review PCDM, its history, technical overview, recent developments, and Hydra-specific implementation considerations. The workshop will also include an interactive modeling session where users will employ use cases from their repositories (or provided samples) to model in PCDM. The goals of the workshop include
A workshop given at the 2014 Open Repositories held in Helsinki. The Hydra for Managers workshop will enable repository managers and curators of digital collections to learn about the Hydra Project, encompassing both the community and the technical development. Focusing on the community primarily, topics covered will include an exploration of how Hydra fits local use cases, how to work with Hydra as a repository, and how to engage with the community to serve local needs and the sustainability Hydra going forward. The workshop will run for 90 minutes and will comprise a mixture of presentations and time to discuss questions raised by attendees. The workshop will be led by established Hydra Partners with different perspectives on using Hydra from differently-sized institutions.
Course syllabus for the Hydra Camp held at Princeton University Libraries, 26-29 August, 2014. The goal of Hydra Camp is to introduce new developers to the skills and tools they will need to successfully build Hydra based digital repository solutions. There’s a lot of ground to cover and you won’t walk out at the end of the week a complete expert, but we hope we’ll have provided you enough of a scaffolding to jump-start your own work and keep learning like the rest of us. We hope that the topics covered at Hydra Camp provide enough breadcrumbs that you’ll have a good idea where to start looking once you get home and start digging into problems on your own!
A proposal for a presentation given at the Open Repositories conference in 2015 held in Indianapolis described thus, One of the many successes of the Hydra community is the fundamental notion from which its name is derived—the concept of many interfaces (“heads”) over top of a single repository (the “body”). The recent release of Fedora 4, with its internal RDF-centric model, has spurred efforts for a community-wide model of collections and works, such that the heads can be sure that the body will behave as they expect it to. That model has been designed and vetted by the Hydra community, and its architecture and initial implementations will be presented in this paper. [Note, and the subject of this proposal has since become known as the 'Portland Common Data Model'.]
