HUB AND SPOKE TOOL SUITE

PREMIS Implementation Fair – 7 October 2009

Bill IngramVisiting Research ProgrammerUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Background on Hub & Spoke NDIIPP funded Began as repository evaluation – DSpace,

Fedora, EPrints, and Greenstone – against an OAIS-based checklist.

The need arose to build a software test bed to evaluate multiple repository systems with common test data.

Hub & Spoke tool suite was a natural outcome of the work that went into developing the test bed for repository evaluation.
