Abstract

Fedora is a flexible, extensible repository platform for the preservation, management and dissemination of digital content. Fedora 4, the new, revitalized version of Fedora, includes vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and more. Both new and existing Fedora users will be interested in learning about and experiencing these new features and functionality first-hand. This tutorial will provide an introduction to and overview of Fedora 4, with a focus on the latest features. After an initial review of the most significant new features, participants will learn about best practices and community standards for modeling data in Fedora 4. With a strong focus on interoperability, the Fedora community has been collaborating on shared data models that can be used across a variety of platforms. Fedora 4 also implements the W3C Linked Data Platform 1.0 specification, so a section of the tutorial will be dedicated to a discussion about LDP and the implications for Fedora 4 and linked data. Linked data is at the core of Fedora 4, so participants will be introduced to several current use cases for new linked data capabilities in Fedora 4. Attendees will be given pre-configured virtual machines that include Fedora 4 bundled with the Solr search application and a triplestore that they can install on their laptops and continue using after the workshop. These virtual machines will be used to participate in a hands-on session that will give attendees a chance to experience Fedora 4 by following step-by-step instructions. This section will demonstrate how to create and manage content in Fedora 4 in accordance with linked data best practices. Finally, participants will learn how to search and run SPARQL queries against content in Fedora using the included Solr index and triplestore.
