Notes
- Current - Features in the product version that users can download/install and use today.
- Future - Features that are currently undergoing testing or are planned for a future version.
- Standard - Features that come "out of the box" and whose removal or disabling would require special effort.
- Optional - Features that come as part of the normal package but which users must install or enable if they want them.
- 3rd Party - Features that can be provided using software or add-ins from third party suppliers.
- [blank] - The product does not have the relevant feature.
Note on Fedora. Fedora is a toolkit that provides an architecture for the development of repository software and not a repository package as such. This is reflected in the answers to some questions. See the Fedora Remarks for more details.
Note on hosted services. While hosted services are built on particular technologies they do not in general expose these technologies to the end user. This will be refelected in the answers to 'platform' based questions
The information in this data sheet has been provided by OCLC (UK) Ltd in response to an RSP survey, and has not necessarily been verified by RSP staff.
