The RepoMMan Project
The RepoMMan Project is developing a tool which will allow users to interact with a Fedora digital repository as part of their natural workflow. The University of Hull takes a broad view of repository function, seeing it as offering storage, access, management and preservation of a wide range of objects from conception to completion and possible publication. The effectiveness of a repository is linked to the quality of its metadata. When a user chooses to make an object 'public' the RepoMMan tool will pre-populate its metadata using contextual information and metadata generation tools. The user is then able to refine this automated 'first-pass'.

Tufts University Digital Collections and Archives Department
Centralization of the existing digital library projects at Tufts required software that would allow collections to be leveraged with tools that had already been built to support them in a flexible way. Fedora was chosen because it made it possible to manage the idiosyncrasies of their existing data naturally.
