An application for data curation for FEDORA 3.x

Cirilo is a java application developed for content preservation and data
curation in FEDORA based repository systems. FEDORA
[http://fedora-commons.org/] (Flexible Extensible Digital Object
Repository Architecture) is an infrastructure dedicated to the
persistent archival and management of resources considered to be worthy
of long-term preservation. Content preservation and data curation in our
sense include object creation and management, versioning, normalization
and standards, and the choice of data formats. The client offers
functionalities which are especially prone to be used as tools for mass
operations on FEDORA objects, thus complementing FEDORA's inbuilt Admin
Client. Cirilo operates on FEDORA's management-API (API-M) and uses a
collection of predefined content models. These content models can be
used without further adjustments for standard workflow scenarios like
the management of collections of TEI objects. Content models in the
sense of FEDORA are class definitions; On the one hand they define the
(MIME-)type of the contained datastreams, on the other hand they
designate dissemination methods operating on these datastreams. Every
object in the repository is an instance of one of these class
definitions.
