Description:
lakesuperior 1.0.0a21
Lakesuperior is a Linked Data repository software. It is capable of storing and
managing large volumes of files and their metadata regardless of their
format, size, ethnicity, gender identity or expression.
Lakesuperior is an alternative Fedora Repository implementation. Fedora is a mature repository
software system historically adopted by major cultural heritage institutions
which extends the Linked Data Platform
protocol.
Guiding Principles
Lakesuperior aims at being a reliable and efficient Fedora 4 implementation.
Its main goals are:
Reliability: Based on solid technologies with stability in mind.
Efficiency: Small memory and CPU footprint, high scalability.
Ease of management: Tools to perform migration, monitoring and
maintenance included.
Simplicity of design: Straight-forward architecture, robustness
over features.
Key features
Stores binary files and RDF metadata in one repository.
Multi-modal access: REST/LDP, command line and native Python API.
(almost) Drop-in replacement for Fedora4
Very stable persistence layer based on
LMDB and filesystem. Fully
ACID-compliant writes guarantee consistency of data.
Term-based search and SPARQL Query API + UI
No performance penalty for storing many resources under the same
container, or having one resource link to many URIs
Extensible provenance metadata tracking
Fits in a pocket: you can carry 50M triples in an 8Gb memory stick.
