Repository-to-Repository Interoperability
Solutions for DSpace and Fedora
Christopher Blackall
National Portfolio Coordinator
Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR)
The Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories (APSR) sponsors repository development projects in Australia in a range of areas, and in 2007 a priority area is "Repository Integration and Interoperability." This session will demonstrate the work done in partnership with the National Library of Australia to define and implement a METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) profile for the automated repository-to-repository exchange of digital items/collections (e.g. digital image collections) between DSpace and Fedora. The technical details of what is required to make the two-way interoperability of DSpace and Fedora a reality will be discussed as part of the demonstration.
