MyCoRe (portmanteau of My Content Repository) is an open source repository software framework for building disciplinary or institutional repositories, digital archives, digital libraries, and scientific journals.[1][2][3][4] The software is developed at various German university libraries and computer centers. Although most MyCoRe web applications are located in Germany, there are English-language applications, such as "The International Treasury of Islamic Manuscripts" at the University of Cambridge (UK).[5]
History
[edit | edit source]The first public version of MyCoRe was released in October 2001.[6] Since then the software was developed by the MyCoRe team.[7] The software became known as "Institutional Repository Software" as declared on the site of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.[8] In Germany there are more than 20 Universities and institutions that provide over 70 repositories based on MyCoRe.[9]
Technology
[edit | edit source]The MyCoRe framework was written in Java and XML. It is available as free software under GNU General Public License (GPL).
Features
[edit | edit source]Some important features of MyCoRe are as follows.
- Free and open-source software
- Customizable user interface
- Configurable metadata model: The Metadata Object Description Schema is the default metadata format within the MyCoRe sample application "MIR". Any other metadata format can be configured.
- Classifications can be edited or imported, as standard (e.g. DDC), in flat or hierarchical structure.
- Roles and rights are configurable
- There is an internal file system integrated in the MyCoRe framework.
- MyCoRe uses Checksum to ensure data integrity.
- All types of digital content, file formats and mime types can be assembled, managed, preserved and presented.
- An image viewer is integrated for presenting high-resolution digitized images in Web browser.
- MyCoRe supports common interoperability standards and interfaces such as the OAI-PMH 2.0 protocol or SWORD.
- MyCoRe provides an integrated Web content management system (WCMS) for editing static website content.
- Local or external authentication mechanisms can be used.
- A detailed rights and role concept allows to manage the access to data and metadata.
- MyCoRe provides a ready to install sample repository called MIR, which a system administrator can install on a single Linux, Mac OSX or Windows box to get started.[10]
