12:00-12:10 | Hyrax Web Accessibility Evaluation and Planning | Web accessibility has always been a concern for Hyrax development. Centering web accessibility, however, has varied over time based on involvement from community members and requirements encountered at partner institutions. We will share recent web accessibility work in Hyrax (last 3-4 years), how the scene looks today across partner institutions and known implementations regarding web accessibility evaluation tools and requirements, and how we could proceed within Hyrax development work and the Samvera Community as a whole to better center web accessibility moving forward. This supports community calls for a Samvera Web Accessibility Interest/Working Group. This also requires more than just passing tests from web crawling tools and filling out VPAT forms and should include a process to accept and incorporate feedback from real users conducting accessibility compliance testing. | Rebekah Kati (UNC Chapel Hill) Juliet Hardesty (Indiana University) | |||||
12:10-12:20 | Emory IR Hyrax 5, Valkyrie, and Fedora 6 | In this talk, we will discuss Emory's work in progress to implement a new institutional repository application with Hyrax 5, Valkyrie, and Fedora 6, including a migration of data currently preserved in Fedora 3. We will also share lessons learned from our previous migration pilot using the Fedora 3 to 6 migration utility, and our revised strategy to re-ingest the data directly through Hyrax. | Emily Porter, Brad Watson (Emory University) | |||||
12:20-12:40 | The Destination is the Journey: Improving IU Digital Collections Service Through Open-Source Collaborations | Indiana University Libraries has implemented Hyrax 2.9.6 with Fedora 4, Bulkrax 1, and AllinsonFlex in a heavily customized application, Digital Collections (https://digitalcollections.iu.edu/). We are far behind on current releases of many of these pieces but have nonetheless migrated over 120,000 works into over 350 collections (managed in 28 admin sets) from multiple legacy systems over the course of almost 2 years. This migration at scale has not been easy and we have adjusted our workflow to incorporate external derivative generation to ease some of the scaling issues. Additionally, we are externalizing our jp2 derivative storage, updating to Bulkrax 5, and eventually updating our base software to Hyrax 5 with Fedora 6. Our experience has been complex with improvements to end user experience balancing deteriorated performance in importing and collection management. Using Hyrax is also more than just a software package installation, and the connections across institutions and growth in our development practices has provided far more benefit to IU Libraries’ management and care of its digital collections and people than previous legacy systems and projects. This talk will share our current status and hopes for our journey with Hyrax and the Samvera Community moving forward. | Juliet Hardesty (Indiana University) | |||||
12:40-12:50 | Working Group and Interest Group Activity Reports | Learn what Samvera Interest and Working Groups have accomplished recently, what they are working on next, and how you can join them. | Annamarie Klose , Samvera Metadata Interest Group | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VVOmk6WYLzOPO4Ru1oQ_zu35NlXdR2841BvBfFG_WOI/edit?usp=sharing RMIG Updates 2024 | ||||

1:00-1:10 | Fedora 6 and Hyrax: Report from the Working Group | In late Fall 2023, the Hyrax Fedora 6 Working Group was formed by a group of stakeholders from the Samvera and Fedora communities who were interested in investigating development efforts required to see a migration path to Hyrax 5.0 backed by Fedora 6. The original charter for the WG was focused initially, on scoping work to establish this pathway, however work on the Hyrax-Valkyrization Community Effort moved much more quickly than expected (thankfully!). The WG re-wrote their Scope and Objectives in early 2024 and through continued collaboration, have begun working through developmental efforts to see Hyrax 5.0 backed by Fedora 6 through Valkyrie. This presentation will provide an update on the newly defined Scope and Objectives of the WG and discuss plans to achieve our deliverables. We will highlight the work we have accomplished to date and share the work we intend to accomplish. | Arran Griffith (Fedora) | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DdQOAAA6QPbGfiIHHtAL8tGlMxdF6qOz5MpartZ_0jg/edit?usp=sharing | ||||
1:10-1:30 | It's Time to Upgrade from FCREPO 4 | It's Time to Upgrade from FCREPO 4 - this talk will focus on the steps to upgrade from <= Rails 5.2 and from FCREPO 4 to something currently maintained. | Rob Kaufman (SoftServ by Scientist.com) | |||||
1:30-1:50 | Collaborative IR in Germany | Repositories play a key role for the long-term access and publication of research data. In Germany, a landscape of discipline-specific research data repositories is complemented by state-wide infrastructures for research data deposit. However, there are cultural barriers for the use of research data repositories, especially for data which are not (yet) intended for public access. In this field of tension, the Ruhr University Bochum decided to establish an institutional research data repository based on Samvera technologies. Supported by an external service-provider, adaptations to the platform were made to lower the cultural barrier for data deposit and direct linking with relevant metadata by the researchers themselves. The implementation was carried out in close collaboration between central IT, library and a research use case. In a first stage, ReSeeD was brought into service late 2023 and is intended to serve as infrastructure for the about 6000 researchers of the university and external project partners. | Nina O.C. Winter (Ruhr University Bochum) | |||||
