Linked data–capable digital object repository (API-X, versioning, fixity) often paired with Samvera/Hyrax for scholarly preservation.
Why it is included
Core open repository layer in many university digital library programs requiring durable object APIs.
Best for
Developers integrating preservation storage with custom or Samvera front ends.
Strengths
