Towards a Trusted Domain Repository: Rebuilding the Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic on the Fedora Platform

The presentation discusses the comprehensive reimplementation of the Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic (AMCR). The outdated technologies and platforms of AMCR led to the decision to renew the system. The chosen solution involved integrating the Fedora 6 platform, based on the OCFL standard, to address issues of quality, sustainability, and secure data storage. The selection of Fedora was driven by the need for a low-complexity platform with an efficient back-end, and the use of OCFL ensured future-proof repository content. The AMCR, designed for archaeological heritage management, originally faced challenges such as low performance and security issues. The new implementation is based entirely on open source solutions, using the Python-based Django framework and the PostgreSQL database. Data storage now follows the OCFL format, mediated by Fedora via the REST API. The presentation highlights the benefits of this approach, emphasizing development flexibility and system modularity, while ensuring data consistency at multiple levels. The reimplementation aims to achieve a user-friendly, modular system with a stable backend that meets the criteria for secure long-term storage of digital data. The changes are consistent with the goal of certifying AMCR as a trusted domain digital repository, addressing aspects of FAIR data and long-term preservation.
