RODA - Question about RODA - KEEP SOLUTIONS

Question about RODA

Good morning,

we have been looking for an UI for a Fedora deployment and we are really

impressed by Roda. We think it might fit our needs, but there are some

questions we would like to ask before making a decision:

1- Does Roda add extra metadata (besides the one provided) to the item

when storing it into Fedora?

2- If we ingest a group of items directly into Fedora using APIM, will

Roda recognise them and allow us to browse/search for them?

3- In the previous case, if we submit something like "several items

related to an object, and several of these objects related to a

collection", it will be browsable in Roda? The relations will be

maintained?

4- Can we obtain a sample of an item as is stored in Fedora?

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,

Pere Villega

RODA uses a complex data model in which an item and its metadata is spread on many fedora objects, each with different content-models and relations between them (See the appended file).

Furthermore, direct access to the Fedora is disallowed and not recommended, as one should use the RODA Core API for any operation. If you ingest foreign Fedora Objects to the RODA's Fedora, RODA will just ignore them.

As for question 4), the fedora of the demo site is open from demonstration purposes, so you can use any fedora client to browse it, with the same users as in RODA. But please be careful changing the data model or the demo site would have to be reset.
