The recommendations of the Contribution Model Working Group were formally adopted by the Samvera Partners in early 2020. This document sets out the requirements for Partners which will be mandatory from spring 2022.
A recording of the opening session of Samvera Connect 2020. Labelled "Welcome and housekeeping" in the program, the session also included a memorial to the late Julie Allinson and a tribute to the Community's retiring Operations Adviser, Richard Green.
Quick overview of the implementation of Handle System (https, // www.handle.net) support into a Curation Concerns / Sufia application. A video of this session is available at the 'Related URL' below., and A lightning talk presentation at Hydra Connect 2016, described thus

Between April 2005 and March 2009, the e-Services Integration Group at the University of Hull undertook two Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC)-funded projects, RepoMMan and REMAP. The RepoMMan tool developed a browser-based interface through which a user could interact with a private digital repository space to support the development of their works-in-progress. It went on to look at the processes involved in publishing such works to a public-facing repository and to investigate the possibility of generating metadata for the published object automatically. The follow-on REMAP Project implemented the publishing process and also investigated how triggers might be embedded in the objects that were created that would help with management and possible preservation of the object over time. The work of RepoMMan and REMAP has now been taken up in an international collaboration, the Hydra Project, which seeks to develop a repository-enabled "Scholars' Workbench". This will be a highly flexible system that will provide a search and discovery interface for a Fedora repository and that can be configured to provide interactive workflows around it for pre-publication development of materials and their post-publication management.
GeoConcerns is a plugin to CurationConcerns for managing geospatial resources in a repository (http, A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus, and //geoconcerns.github.io). This presentation will give an overview and demonstration of GeoConcerns’ features and PCDM-based data model. In addition, we will discuss the code base and future development work such as integration with Sufia. An audio recording of the session is available for download below.
