Fedora features enquire and requirements

[Rahul Samaria]

Hi Team,

As one of the best digital library software we want to implement Fedora  for setting up
digital library for our organization. However before starting I would like to know about a
few features of Fedora which are essential parts of our requirements for setting up a
library . Kindly clarify on below points.

-  Repository of  data having search functionality by title, keywords, meta tags and
author
-  Functionality to set roles of users with specified permission and set rules to
access/edit/delete the content
-  Storage and retrieval of long-term commitments content facilitate decision - making
-  Data Storage of all data types (Documents,  graphics, media,  flash, source files,
illustrator and vector files, etc.)
-  Data can be accessed through internet and intranet
-  Round the clock availability of information which accelerates any process

No child in India will be deprived of education because of hunger

Hi  Rahul
Can thoroughly recommend Fedora or Ubuntu, we use both. If you choose 
Ubuntu then opt for the LTS (long term support) version.

I don't know if this will help but for such a task as you describe 
below  but you may wish to look into using Drupal 7 which with a little 
learning time is very capable of meeting your requirements. Drupal  is a 
content management system built with php and mostly does not need 
programming to get up and running. We use it on our sites. I'm currently 
developing a complex taxonomy data system in Drupal.

What you describe below seems to fit well with Drupal. There are other 
content management systems but Drupal is by far the best and I find, the 
most secure. Support is exemplary and video tutorials are great.

Another choice could be Ruby on Rails. Rails is a framework for setting 
up a content management system. I find the Ruby and Rails language much 
easier and less arcane than php but there is a significant learning 
curve. I have set up a couple sites and am still learning. Video 
tutorials are great but support seems to be via StackOverflow.

Cheers
Roger

It appears you are interested in the Fedora Repository Project
(http://www.fedora-commons.org/), however you posted your message in the
mailing list for users of the Fedora Linux distribution
(http://fedoraproject.org/). These two Fedoras are completely unrelated
to each other. The correct mailing list for the Fedora Repository is
here: http://www.fedora-commons.org/community/userlist
