Why did we put Hydra in a Box?
Need
Network
Reducing Friction
New Technology
Institutions want an easier way to adopt it
Work Accomplished
Product Design Phase
(June 2015 - June 2016)
Two Development Work Cycles
(March 2016 - present)
• A (new) way to manage digital content
• Best of Hydra in an easy-to-install,
easy-to-configure, feature-rich solution
• Reduce barriers to effective asset
management & preservation
• For collections and content types of
many kinds
• Next-generation web technologies
• Vibrant and ever-growing open source
community
Data of all kinds
For scholars now and future
At home in Hyku
● Portland Common Data Model (PCDM)
○ RDF classes for Works and Filesets structures
○ Metadata Application Profile (DPLA)
● Fedora 4 and Linked Data Platform (LDP)
○ Core to the exchange between repo and app
○ Allows for future sidecar triplestores
Hyku and Linked Data
● Linked Open Entities
○ URIs for external authorities and vocabularies
● Linked Data Publishing
○ Leverages schema.org for semantic web
○ Leverage IIIF to make content available in
new ways
Hyku and Linked Data
Hyku Release, Roadmap, Plans
• Product Beta Test: May 15 - June 23
• Continued user interface design
• Prioritized features include:
– Bulk metadata review and edit interface
– More content types: dataset, thesis/dissertation,
oral history, books, maps
– Integrated Google Analytics
– Authentication by Shibboleth
Introducing HykuDirect
