<strong>About Fedora</strong><br>
<br>The <a href="http://fedora-commons.org/" target="_blank">Fedora Repository Project</a>
is under the stewardship of DuraSpace. Fedora (Flexible Extensible
Digital Object Repository Architecture) is used by global institutions
to store, manage, and access digital content in the form of digital
objects. Fedora defines a set of abstractions for expressing digital
objects, asserting relationships among digital objects, and linking
"behaviors" (i.e., services) to digital objects. Fedora implements the
Fedora abstractions in a robust open source software system providing a
core repository service exposed as web-based services with well-defined
APIs.<br><br><b>About DuraSpace</b><br><br><a href="http://duraspace.org" target="_blank">DuraSpace </a>is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
