This document discusses Fedora, an open source digital repository software. It can provide long-term storage and access for digital content through persistent URLs. Fedora is flexible and can store any file type, with native RDF support to relate items. It supports large files and files stored externally. Features for preservation include fixity checking, backups, and versioning. Fedora is well-suited for use cases like institutional repositories, managing publications and associated research data, and supporting the entire research process from an organization like the Smithsonian Institute. The Fedora community is growing, with over 320 installations and increased funding and hiring to build toward sustainability.
