The Hyku Project
“Hyku” is the result of the Hydra-in-a-Box, IMLS grant-funded project. It was developed as a turnkey solution bundle for digital asset management by the Samvera (previously known as Hydra) community. DuraSpace has been piloting Hyku as a hosted service, called HykuDirect, with a goal to lower the barrier of entry and expand the number and diversity of institutions capable of leveraging this powerful digital repository platform.
Targeted within the Next Year (from today)
Listed roughly in priority order and the expected order of implementation. Some efforts may be implemented at the same time. The priority order may shift based on available resources and community interest.
Bulk Import
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1474
The ability to perform content ingest in Hyku through an automated process. This is necessary for data migrations. Pilots mentioned this need specifically. Relevant for CONTENTdm, Digital Commons, and DSpace migrations. Not necessarily relevant to local Hyku or Hyrax migrations (that can be done via database (DB) dump and reindex).
Status Summary/Major Activities:
| Target Date: | Lead: | Working Group: Hyku Interest Group | Issues |
Migration Tool
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1491
Most of the current pilot institutions have stated that they would not subscribe to a Hyku service until there is a clear migration path from CONTENTdm.

Work Types Filters Per Tenant
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1485
As part of expanding the number of available Work Types we need to also be able to limit which work times are viewable in a given tenant.

More Work Types
https://github.com/samvera-labs/hyku/issues/1485
ETDs, Publications (articles, journals, books), and Datasets - Required to be competitive with alternative IR/Publishing solutions. Samvera community members are working on Fulcrum, which is a publishing platform recently migrated to Hyrax.
Newspaper, Journal, Serial - Requested specifically by pilot institutions.
