Background

Fedora is the robust, modular, open source repository platform for the management and dissemination of digital content. Fedora 4, the latest production version of Fedora, features vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and more.

Samvera (previously known as Hydra) is a repository solution that is being used by institutions worldwide <https://projecthydra.org/partners-and-more/> to provide access to their digital content (see map <https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zXYQDa2z16pc.krO3mzzz6Lic>).  Samvera provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike.
