I am working on a considerable upgrade to the underlying object and database model which supports the application. As the application matures and evolves it will be relatively easy to make changes and updates to the application modules and user [...]]]></description>

Somebody is getting ready to prototype a digital archives at their archival institution and the first question they ask is, &#8220;which open-source repository system should I use? Dspace? Fedora?
