The DRAMA team at Macquarie University would like to announce the 1.3
release of Muradora, available for download at:
http://www.muradora.org/software
Muradora is a web-based GUI for the popular Fedora repository, built
using enterprise Java Spring and Struts 2 frameworks. Amongst the
common features found in a typical repository such as search, browse,
self-submission, and versioning supports, Muradora enables flexible
access control for end users (based on the XACML standard),
inter-domain authentication and federated identity (using Shibboleth
implementation of the SAML standard), and multiple metadata schema
management (via W3C XForms standard).
More information about Muradora, including deployment and user guides,
can be found at:
http://www.muradora.org
Notable features in 1.3 release:
================================
- Faceted Search: By incorporating GSearch 2.0 with Solr support,
users can perform faceted searches, i.e. one can now narrow down
search results based on other categories.
- All-in-one installation: There is now an installation script for
Unix/Linux systems which will install all the necessary components for
Muradora. The complete package is called "muradora-allinone".
- RSS/Atom Feeds: Users can subscribe to collections (even non-public
collections) and get notifications of new objects added to those
collections.
- Thumbnail preview and gallery view: Thumbnails are now generated
automatically for images. Thanks to the work by the MediaShelf team,
one can browse and search using either the traditional listing view or
with the gallery view.
We would appreciate any feedbacks from users of the software.
Regards,
