Hi Joseph, First off just a side comment. At this point time, there are no plans to merge DSpace and Fedora software (as you had stated). Rather, DuraSpace is hoping to promote more interoperability between the two systems (thus allowing people to migrate content more easily between them).
Currently, there's no easy solution to this migration. The OAI-ORE work that Robin mentioned could be a route (though it requires DSpace 1.6, which isn't fully released yet). DSpace also supports METS-based exports (which could be used to load contents into Fedora). Also, there was past NDIIPP funded project out of U of Illinois which provided a means to transfer contents between repositories (though this project has now ended): http://dli.grainger.uiuc.edu/echodep/hands/index.html There likely are many other routes out there... good luck! - Tim On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 8:05 AM, Robin Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > The winners of the development competition at OR 2008 copied the contents > of > an ePrints repo to a Fedora repo using OAI-ORE.
