Samvera Hyrax

Samvera Hyrax provides a front end for browsing and managing Fedora-based digital repositories through the Samvera framework. It is for people who work with Samvera repositories, whether their task is browsing them or managing them. Samvera is a Ruby on Rails application, and Hyrax sits at its front end. The repositories use Fedora, while Samvera supplies the application framework around them. Hyrax covers the part of this architecture that people encounter when they browse or manage those repositories. Its scope is limited to the front end. Hyrax does not replace the Samvera framework, the Ruby on Rails application, or the Fedora-based digital repository beneath it. It therefore suits people and teams already working with this stack, not those seeking a standalone repository application outside Samvera.
