*New DuraSpace Web Site–A Focus DuraSpace Open Technologies*
*Ithaca, NY* DuraSpace is pleased to announce the release of a new
organizational web site designed using some of our own open technologies to
create flexible and durable digital content. The new site has been built in
collaboration with Discovery Garden <http://discoverygarden.ca/>, a
DuraSpace Registered Service Provider<http://duraspace.org/service_providers>,
using Islandora, a robust open source digital asset management system based
on the combination of a Fedora digital repository and Drupal.
Islandora<http://islandora.ca/about>was developed by the University of
Prince Edward Island's Robertson Library
and makes it easy to build and manage repository content for use by web
sites.
http://DuraSpace.org/ <http://duraspace.org/>
DuraSpace requires an efficient and dynamic online information transfer
point to provide users with quick routes to in-depth information about
DSpace (http://DSpace.org <http://dspace.org/>), Fedora (
http://fedora-commons.org) and DuraCloud
(http://DuraCloud.org<http://duracloud.org/>),
along with ways to participate in DuraSpace open source development.
The DuraSpace
web site <http://duraspace.org/> is backed by a lightweight and easy-to-use
content management system with Fedora under the hood. DuraSpace materials
related to iterative open source development can now be made persistent in a
Fedora repository through a simple web interface. The
Duracloud.org<http://duracloud.org/>web site announced last week was
also built with Islandora.
Key features include a rotating display of selected collections from
community repositories, fast access to DSpace <http://dspace.org/>,
Fedora<http://fedora-commons.org/>and
DuraCloud <http://duracloud.org/> open source project information, the
latest organizational and community news and information, an events
calendar, as well as blog and twitter feeds and community wiki spaces.
