Abstract

Fedora 6.x is the newest, most modern version of the software, representing a significant change in the preservation standards and backend infrastructure from previous versions. This modernization of the software provides users a more robust preservation platform, while giving the community back the data transparency they appreciated from Fedora 3. This workshop will provide participants with the ability to work directly with the newest version of Fedora through hands-on exercises as well as learning about the Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) and it’s role in digital preservation within a Fedora ecosystem. We will complete a sample migration using the Migration Toolkit, a series of instructional modules created from an IMLS grant-funded project, and gain experience working with the migration utility and validator tools. Lastly we will explore several community-developed integrations that allow for additional functionality and visibility into the contents within a Fedora repository. This workshop is intended to provide participants an opportunity to work directly with the software, understand it’s preservation features and become familiar with the recently developed tools for migrating from Fedora 3.x to 6.x.
