Notes

OCFL 1.1 change log

Tom Wrobel talks about plans for OCFL at Oxford (for Oxford University Research Archive - ORA, >300K objects)

Testing OCFL via a Fedora 6 endpoint API. Wants Fedora for ingest/export, but OCFL to be its own discrete layer.

Test suite will be written in Python, designed to generate daily load profiles.

Haven't specified acceptance criteria yet; but do generally expect object creation to complete somewhere btw 5mins-24hr.

ORA currently Hyrax shop (against Fedora 4.6), planning to migrate from Fedora 4.6, hopefully to Fedora 6. Keeping Hyrax. Will write a service that exports an object & metadata, which will get sent to OCFL layer.

Storage is Dell Compellent SAN, but interested in using S3 as another backend. Use rysnc for backups but that has issues with deep file hierarchies; want to use OCFL to flatten that.

Seth indicated that he would like to do a demo at a future meeting; Rosy to check in on that for January's meeting.

Discussion about vendors (Arkivum, LibNova) that are interested in OCFL; Neil has talked with Arkivum and Rosy will reach out to LibNova.
