Introducing the Fedora User Guide

Fedora Digital Repository has a strong history of documentation for system administrators hosting and managing Fedora as software and developers using the repository as a backend for collection access and management. [1] However, the same level of documentation has not been as readily available for users who manage collections and perform metadata work in Fedora. Andrew Woods from Duraspace approached a group of metadata librarians at institutions using Fedora to start a new section of documentation called the Fedora User Guide. The new User Guide currently contains information about metadata recommendations and best practices within Fedora from different user communities. It also provides various examples of content modeling to show how different ways of organizing content are implemented in Fedora using the current capabilities of the digital repository software
