These slides are the basis of an Open Repositories 2015 talk about Archivematica integration.
Abstract: The open repository ecosystem consists of many interlocking systems which satisfy needs at different points in content management workflows, and these differ within and among institutions. Archivematica is a digital preservation system which aims to integrate with existing repository, storage and access systems in order to leverage the resources that institutions have invested towards building their repository over time. The presentation will cover every integration the Archivematica project has completed thus far, including Dspace and DuraCloud, LOCKSS, Islandora/Fedora, Archivists' Toolkit, AccessToMemory (AtoM), CONTENTdm, Arkivum, HP Trim, and OpenStack, as well as ongoing projects with ArchivesSpace, Dataverse, and BitCurator. Each of these projects has had its own set of limitations in scope because of the requirements of the project sponsor and/or the limitations of other system, so in many ways several of them are not, and may never be 'complete' integrations. The discussion will explore what that means and strategies for expanding the functional capabilities of integration work over time. It will address scoping integration workflows and building requirements with limitations on functionality and resources. We will examine how systems can be built and enhanced in ways that accommodate diverse workflows and varied interlocking endpoints.

Building the Future Together: AtoM3, Governance, and the Sustainability of Op...Artefactual Systems - AtoM
Slides accompanying a presentation given by Dan Gillean on June 7th, 2018 at Open Repositories 2018, held in Bozeman, MT.
Access to Memory is a web-based open source application for standards based description and access. AtoM was first released in 2008 and much of the codebase is now relying on deprecated frameworks and libraries – and at the same time, new standards and technologies are changing how our profession approaches description and access. Currently Artefactual Systems, a Canadian based company, uses a services model to support the project. Artefactual is looking ahead to AtoM3, and considering building a linked data driven platform for archival description and access. As we consider AtoM's next generation, we are also examining governance and maintenance models to sustain the project and better empower our user community as Artefactual wasn't originally intended to be AtoM's organizational home. This presentation will offer some thoughts on existing open source project governance models, challenges, and possibilities for the future. How do we ensure community engagement and project sustainability over time?

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

...and many more
34. Fedora
● NOT the Linux operating system....
● aka: Fedora Repository / Fedora Commons
● Developed by Cornell University and the University of
Virginia Library, currently supported by DuraSpace
● FOSS, server-side.
● Flexible architecture, allowing you to customize it (add
on components) to meet local needs. Requires more
work.
● Ingest, management, and basic delivery -- not a full-
fledged system for managing digital assets.
http://www.fedora-commons.org/
https://wiki.duraspace.
org/display/FF/Fedora+Repository+Home
37. Islandora
● Fedora (asset management), Drupal (website
functionality) and Solr (search). Additional "Solution
Packs" of software to manage particular data types
(books, PDFs, large images, etc.).
● Developed by Prince Edward Island University.
● FOSS, server-side. Has to be assembled by
programmers / systems folks. Requires a LOT of work
and maintenance at this point. Not a "download and
double-click" software.
http://islandora.ca/
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA713/Islandora
40. CONTENTdm (and a lot of work...)
http://digitalcollections.library.gsu.edu/maps/?overlay=atlpm0031e
41. CONTENTdm
● Closed source, OCLC, and paid (expensive!).
● A full system for managing digital collections. Can be
hosted by OCLC or run on your own servers (hosted
version limits customization).
● Has difficulty with larger collections.
● Server-side software, web interface and project client
software. Lots of moving pieces to get to work together
with limited documentation and slow technical support
response time.
http://www.contentdm.org/
44. Greenstone
● Developed by New Zealand Digital Library Project at the
University of Waikato, with support from UNESCO.
● FOSS, server-side.

53. OHMS: Oral History Metadata Synchronizer
http://nunncenter.org/OHMS-Viewer/viewer.php?cachefile=2010OH057_WW368_Gayheart-v01.xml
54. OHMS: Oral History Metadata Synchronizer
● OHMS was originally designed and created by the Louie
B. Nunn Center for Oral History, University of Kentucky
Libraries in 2008.
● In 2011, the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History
received a grant from IMLS to make the system open
source and free to use with interoperability and
sustainability as the primary goals.
● Sync is done server-side in XML files, playback is done
server-side using the OHMS player
● The grant runs out soon, but the software will remain
FOSS.

○ This can help reduce wear on originals while
providing broader access.
● Digital preservation is the active
management of digital content over time to

● Educate yourself about the standards for the
items you are digitizing: file formats, bit
depth, resolution, dimensions, storage,
backup

74. Geez Cliff, this sounds pretty complicated. Do I
have to be a computer programmer to do this stuff?
NO!
75. Semantic Web for beginners
● WikiData.org: browse to get a feel for the subject-
predicate-object relationships.
● dbpedia.org: browse to get a feel for the use of LOD
metadata standards.
● Microformats: a way of adding human- and machine-
readable metadata into existing HTML webpages.
○ COinS: ContextObjects in Spans. Allows users to
embed machine-readable bibliographic metadata in
HTML webpages.
● RDFa Lite: Resource Description Framework in
attributes - another way of adding human- and machine-
readable metadata into existing HTML pages.
