Use Case Australian Research Repositories Online to the World
The ARROW project's aim is to identify, test, and develop software or solutions to support best practice institutional digital repositories. While initially a research project, ARROW has now co-developed a working institutional repository solution.
Use Case Encyclopedia of Chicago
The Encyclopedia of Chicago grew out of a book project that was a regional collaboration among the Chicago Historical Society, The Newberry Library and the University of Chicago Press that envisioned an electronic edition of the Encyclopedia from the start of the project comprised of 1,500 text entries plus images.

Use Case Islandora
Islandora is an open source project underway at the Robertson Library at the University of Prince Edward Island. Islandora combines the Drupal and Fedora software applications to create a robust digital asset management system that can be used for any requirement where collaboration and digital data stewardship, for the short and long term, are critical.
Use Case Jewish Women's Archive
The archive's goal is to "uncover, chronicle, and transmit to a broad public the rich history of American Jewish women." The project is utilizing cloud storage to keep the overall costs within their budget.
Use Case Public Library of Science

PLoS ONE is built upon the innovative technologies of Topaz, Fedora, and Mulgara, providing an open publishing platform that combines an online scientific journal with community features such as annotations, discussions, ratings and tags.
Use Case RODA
RODA, in conjunction with the Portugese National Archives, main goal is to allow long-term preservation and authenticity of digital objects of national importance.
Use Case Rutgers University Library Community Repository
Rutgers University Libraries have developed a workflow management system to create and ingest objects and metadata as well as user tools to create a Fedora-based cyber-infrastructure that is flexible, user-oriented, useful and meaningful to a wide range of users with a design focus on preservation.
Use Case The eSciDoc Project
The eSciDoc project is intended to ensure permanent access to the research results and research materials of the Max-Planck Society and seamless integration within eSciDoc as well as integration into an emerging, global, electronic knowledge space. Fedora's object storage layer is a central and critical component of the eSciDoc framework.
Use Case The Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive Project
The IVRLA is an Irish government funded project based in University College Dublin. The Project is a component of the research programme of the Humanities Institute of Ireland (UCD HII) and its aims are to support leading-edge research by enabling access to digitised content and to undertake direct research on digitisation and digital repositories.
Use Case The National Science Digital Library
The NSDL was created by the National Science Foundation in 2000 to provide organized access to high quality online resources and tools that support innovations in teaching and learning at all levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.
Use Case 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'.
Use Case 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.
Use Case University of Maryland Digital Collections
The University of Maryland Libraries have built a repository using Fedora that expresses multiple contextual relationships between objects and incorporates a strong administrative back-end to enable local digital object management for staff, as well as a public interface that enables cross-collection searching.
Use Case University of Virginia Library
The University of Virginia Library is one of the original implementers of Fedora, as well as being half the co-development team funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to turn the original Fedora research implementation into functional digital object repository architecture.
Use Case WGBH
WGBH Boston uses Fedora for it's moving image archives project. WGBH is developing a custom PHP front end, using the Zend Framework, that communicates with the Fedora repository using MediaShelf's REST interface.
