FEDORA, continued

• FEDORA requires Java and a database management system, such as MySQL, and runs on Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms.

• FEDORA runs as a web service, with separate interfaces for access and management to ensure security for users and content providers.

• Metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH) and repository-to-repository (R2R) capabilities are built in to present an open, interoperable archive.
