A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and How can presentation layers in Hyrax applications be extended to fit local needs? This session will showcase two front-end implementations of Hyrax for institutional repositories and discuss design decisions we made for specific use-cases.
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.
Flexible approaches to grouping things in the repository" and described thus, An introduction to the Hyrax 2.1 Collections which include collections extensions, once known as Display Sets. This implementation adds the ability to define collection types with various settings to meet the many use cases for collections from user collections to exhibits. We'll also look at how these play nicely with Admin Sets., and A presentation given at Connect 2017 advertiosed under the title "Collections Extensions and Admin Sets
A presentation given at Connect 2017 described thus and The University of Cincinnati recently migrated our Scholar@UC application from Sufia 7.3 to Hyrax 1.0. We will discuss our process and the special circumstances we had to deal with.
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.
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 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.
Samvera circulated a "Season's Greetings" card for the first time in December 2020. It features the Samvera tree festooned with decorative lights and incorporates in the winter scene the logos for Samvera's major software items.
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.
