read:
 
"JHU was already experimenting with Fedora and had tested ingestion of
content into DSpace. The opportunity to get more hands-on experience with
the facilities of these two open source efforts was an additional motivator.
At a higher level, though, we were even more interested in the possibility
of implementing a layer of abstraction (an application programming interface
or API) over existing repository applications. Such an abstraction would
allow other applications to interact with at least some facilities of a
repository without knowing with which repository application (e.g., DSpace,
Fedora) it is interacting. The AIHT gave us an opportunity to test the
feasibility of constructing such a layer and to determine the ease with
which such a layer could be applied in practice. With funding from the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we are conducting a technology analysis of
repositories and services to continue and build on this work. More
information is available on our project wiki.1 <outbind://54/#1>  "
