DAMS Architecture
Challenges & Opportunities
• Dependency Chain– Challenge: Not a completely homegrown product anymore– Opportunity: We can be part of the larger community making
improvements to this framework.
• Hydra Working Groups– RDF– Archives
• New Stakeholders: Research Community– Self Deposit– Large Files
• Fedora 4• Optimized Preservation Strategy
