Fedora Training Days

Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd January 2009, 10:00 to 16:30, King's College London

Fedora Commons Logo

On the 22nd and 23rd of January the Repositories Support Project hosted an event at King's College London to allow members of the repositories community to familiarise themselves with the Fedora software platform.

Aimed at librarians and repository staff using the open-source Fedora software, the first day's sessions will cover the background, architecture and structure of Fedora, content modelling and policies, a case study of a Fedoa repository and a presentation on the future of the platform.

The second day will look address the technical issues in more detail – Fedora service framework, tools & interfaces, indexing, searching and access control, and will include some practical exercises.
