Repository use cases / Hydra heads

• Institutional repository• Workflow management• Archives and special collections• Research data• Image management• Media management

Institutional repository

• Where much of the initial Hydra effort went• Mixture of drivers and responses• Desire to provide self-deposit• Open access driver• SHARE initiative

• Individual efforts are now coming together• Hydramata, shared IR development• DSpace alternative

Libra (University of Virginia)

ScholarSphere / sufia (Penn State)

Sufia -> CurateND (University of Notre Dame)

Libra/sufia/CurateND -> Hydramata

Workflow management

• Stanford has broken down the stages of repository management• Hydrus – IR Hydra head• Deposit focus• Access is through SearchWorks discovery tool

• Argo• Workflow administration• Internal Hydra head for monitoring the management of content as it is processed

• Separate heads for ETDs and EEMs (everyday electronic materials)

Archives and special collections

• Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame• Separation of content management and access• Hydra head• Workflow stages, from ingest to complete record

• Blacklight• Content exported to Blacklight for indexing and searching

• Good example of managing multiple metadata• MARC for catalogue records• EAD for archival records

Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame

Tufts Digital Library

ArchiveSphere

• Off-shoot from ScholarSphere• Exploring management of born-digital archives• Started with ingest• Hydra community conversation about needs• Hydra Archivists Working Group (HAWG)

• Watch this space!

Research data

• Like many, Hydra is feeling its way in RDM• Many already hold (small) data• Hull, Virginia, Stanford, etc.

• Interest in going beyond this• Data visualisation, geodata…

• UC San Diego• Hydra over DAMS, not Fedora

• Holds large numbers of datasets

UC San Diego

Image management

• Many current Hydra heads hold images• Tufts and UC San Diego are good examples

• Northwestern has developed detailed image management workflow• Digital Image Library (DIL)• Build custom collections• Create details/crops• Zoom, rotate• Controlled access

• Wider interest in embedding IIIF

DIL, Northwestern

Media management

• Increased need to manage audio and video• Hydra community has taken different approaches• RockHall• Embedding within collection, local viewing

• Avalon – IMLS-funded project• Indiana/Northwestern collaboration• Solution bundle for media management

• WGBH• Digital Asset Management System development• Large-scale management• OpenVault catalogue - Blacklight
