Hydra-in-a-Box Project Deliverables
Hydra-in-a-Box Project Deliverables
The Hydra-in-a-Box team produced the following deliverables in t=
he course of its project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Serv=
ices (LG-70-15-0006-15), May 2015 - Nove=
mber 2017.
Hyku=
repository application
- Created a brand new solution bundle, Hyku, built on the latest and greatest Samvera community component=
s
- Completed a comprehensive, user-oriented design phase, culminating in a=
slick, new UI design for the application
- Managed a complex and costly community process -- involving finishing t=
he work on Sufia 7 and CurationConcerns 2, and th=
en consolidating this work in Hyrax -- to arrive at a base component that is r=
eceiving unprecedented support and attention within the Samvera community (=
uniting the Sufia, CurationConcerns, Curate, Worthwhile, and Av=
alon Media System subcommunities)
- Delivered a Docker Compose-based multi-host configuratio=
n for spinning up Hyku and its dependencies, learning a promising new techn=
ology and giving Hyku users another option for deploying a Hyku-based servi=
ce
- Features
- Implementation of the IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framewor=
k) Image and Presentation APIs for all =
deposited works
- Mediated deposit (via flexible workflow support, allowing us to model m=
any possible workflows across our disparate use cases)
- Internationalization: seven languages are now supported in the UI with =
a framework for extending this further as needs dictate
- Numerous additions and refinements to the new dashboard
- Consolidated design for both administrators and registered users, getti=
ng more functionality in front of more users
- Collapsible sidebar for increased focus on one=E2=80=99s tasks while us=
ing the software
- Service status page for more transparency on what is happening in one=
=E2=80=99s repository system
- Configurable controls for site look & feel, static content pages, a=
nd a selection of optional features, providing users greater control over h=
ow they use their sites and requiring less customization
- Improved integration between administrative set participants and groups=
- Metadata enhancements including support for RightsStatements.=
org values and linked open entities in the Geonames controlled v=
ocabulary for location metadata
- Implementation of ResourceSync for content synchronizatio=
n by aggregation services, tested by DPLA
- New interface for a super-administrator to manage multiple tenants
Hosted service=
h1>
- Market analysis & cultivation was a substantial effort during the d=
esign phase and involved gathering contacts, requirements, potential custom=
ers, and potential service providers
- Architectural needs for the hosted service were integral to the reposit=
ory product development from project inception; we made an early investment=
in multi-tenancy and a robust Amazon Web Services (AWS) configu=
ration
- Ran HykuDirect pilot, managed by DuraSpace, with six in=
stitutions
- Several piloters are members of the DPLA community network
- Representative of diverse cross-section of the library community: metro=
politan public library, state library & archives, library consortium, l=
iberal art college, mid-size university, state-wide digital library project=
In addition to the technical work on the cloud infrastructure and applic=
ation components, we spent cycles on:
- More user interface (UI) designs to guide future work on a more holisti=
c, more polished UI
- Developing functional requirements for future high-impact (high-cost) f=
eatures, including collections management, usage analytics, and bulk metada=
ta editing
- Repository product branding and marketing
- Running a Hyku product beta test (May 15-June 23)
- Nearly 60 participants from nearly 35 institutions, resulting in a coup=
le hundred new issues and several dozen fixes and improvements
- Developing extensive, openly available user documentation
- Organizing development work into transparent, open, community-oriented =
sprints, exposing the Samvera community to the work of this grant early and=
regularly and building familiarity with Hyku and Hyrax within a larger seg=
ment of the community
