Use of open source software in DH

Posted on November 27, 2013 by Jonathan Harker

A session around the use of FLOSS software and open standards/protocols in digital repositories, and the needs of digital humanities in particular. Discussions could centre around Fedora Commons, DSpace, Fez, Drupal and so on. How do we weigh rigid metadata schemata (MODS, MARC, DC-TERMS etc.) versus relying on full-text indexes, or open access versus access control, flexibility and complexity versus ease of use?

About Jonathan Harker

I live in Pukerua Bay, grow chillies, roast coffee and own a precocious spotty Bengal cat. I also play trombone in Orchestra Wellington from time to time. I joined Catalyst IT in 2006 and among many things we are fundamentally passionate about open source, open formats and digital sustainability. At Catalyst I am mainly a Moodle and Django developer and I am also a contributor to the University of Queensland's open source Fez digital repository system which is based on Fedora Commons.
