Solution Communities
Fedora Commons (FC) solution communities are intended to be formed by interested members of the larger Fedora Commons community around a particular solution area, for which one or more applications could be built on top of Fedora. These are known as "solution bundles" implying that there is a complete end-user package that bundles software created externally with a specific set of Fedora Commons Framework services, on top of a specific storage strategy, into an integrated application that addresses a particular use case of the solution area. Active communities are:
- Data Curation : Coming soon
- Open Access Publishing
- Preservation and Archiving
- Solutions Integration
Fedora Commons is using a bottom-up approach to organizing these communities, based on the theory that higher levels of order will emerge out of complex systems under the right conditions. A link to the current statement of FC's methodology can be found below. This methodology is very much under development and a link to a list of issues under discussion can also be found below.
