The Fedora Commons Community
Registry —
by Thornton Staples
In our ongoing efforts to organize
communities around solution areas
well suited to Fedora, we have begun
working on multiple fronts to
encourage what we have been calling
"scholars' repositories." Dedicated
to
the idea that born-digital scholarly
materials will need to be
created in
repository-enabled environments in
order to be sustained,
solutions in
this area will need to foster creation,
management and
even dissemination
of content in ways that are
completely under the
control its
owner. Rather than assuming that
the repository is a final
resting place
for content, this approach assumes
that content is
created in a dynamic
repository at the beginning of its
lifecycle in
such a way that it can be
used and controlled by its owner for
as long
as desired, then handed off
to other authorities for sustaining
over
the long-term at the appropriate
time.
