Hydra provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike. Hydra leverages Fedora 4, the robust, modular, open source repository platform for the management, preservation, and dissemination of digital content, including research data. Fedora 4 features include vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use, and more. This workshop will provide an introduction to and overview of Hydra and Fedora 4, with a focus on getting up and running with a new Hydra-based repository. After an initial review of the most significant features and functionality, participants will learn how to model data in Hydra using linked data best practices. Attendees will have the opportunity (in sections 3 and 4) to participate in hands-on activities and explore Hydra by following step-by-step instructions using a preconfigured virtual machine environment. This will give participants a chance to experience Hydra first-hand. Developers and administrators interested in working on Hydra will learn about the software development process and procedures, including how to discover content in Hydra via Solr and an external triplestore. Two of the overall aims of the workshop are to encourage familiarity with and uptake of Hydra within the Australian repository community, and bring Australian developers into the global Hydra and Fedora communities while raising our profile in the research support arena. 1. Introduction to Hydra and Fedora 4. General overview of functionality and current project status updates. 60 minutes 2. Linked data modeling best practices. Recommended approaches for modeling data when migrating to Fedora 4. 60 minutes 3. Hands-on with Hydra (part 1): Walkthrough of basic functionality in Hydra Curation Concerns, and how data is represented in Fedora and Solr. 60 minutes 4. Hands-on with Hydra (part 2): Walkthrough of modifying Curation Concerns and seeing how all the pieces work together. 60 minutes WHO SHOULD ATTEND This workshop will benefit repository managers, developers, and anyone interested in working with repository software and services.
