    　杉田＠NIIです。標記の件，コメント有難うございました。

    ＞＞皆さま
    　不正確な情報を流してしまい，申し訳ありませんでした。

    　DuraCloudのようなWebサービスを（国の機関とかではなく）DSpaceとFedoraの
    　コミュニティが合体した組織がcommercial cloud providersと一緒に行う，と
    　いうところにすごさを感じます。

    　日本は，日本の文化に馴染む方法でやっていくのが良いのでしょうけれど。

    > 識者のフォローをお待ちします。

    　よろしくお願いいたします！

`Fedora Commons and DSpace Foundation Join Together to Create DuraSpace™` `Organization`

`Ithaca, NY, Boston, MA --- Fedora Commons and the DSpace Foundation, two` `of the largest providers of open source software for managing and` `providing access to digital content, have announced today that they will` `join their organizations to pursue a common mission. Jointly, they will` `provide leadership and innovation in open source technologies for global` `communities who manage, preserve, and provide access to digital content.`

`The joined organization, named “DuraSpace,” will sustain and grow its` `flagship repository platforms - Fedora and DSpace. DuraSpace will also` `expand its portfolio by offering new technologies and services that` `respond to the dynamic environment of the Web and to new requirements` `from existing and future users. DuraSpace will focus on supporting` `existing communities and will also engage a larger and more diverse` `group of stakeholders in support of its not-for-profit mission. The` `organization will be led by an executive team consisting of Sandy` `Payette (Chief Executive Officer), Michele Kimpton (Chief Business` `Officer), and Brad McLean (Chief Technology Officer) and will operate` `out of offices in Ithaca, NY and Cambridge, MA.`

`“This is a great development,” said Clifford Lynch, Executive Director` `of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI). “It will focus` `resources and talent in a way that should really accelerate progress in` `areas critical to the research, education, and cultural memory` `communities. The new emphasis on distributed reliable storage` `infrastructure services and their integration with repositories is` `particularly timely. ”` `Together Fedora and DSpace make up the largest market share of open` `repositories worldwide, serving over 700 institutions. These include` `organizations committed to the use of open source software solutions for` `the dissemination and preservation of academic, scientific, and cultural` `digital content.`

`“The joining of DSpace and Fedora Commons is a watershed event for` `libraries, specifically, and higher education, more generally,” said` `James Hilton, CIO of the University of Virginia. “Separately, these two` `organizations operated with similar missions and a shared commitment to` `developing and supporting open technologies. By bringing together the` `technical, financial, and community-based resources of the two` `organizations, their communities gain a robust organization focused on` `solving the many challenges involved in storing, curating, and` `preserving digital data and scholarship,” he said.`

    New Products

`DuraSpace will continue to support its existing software platforms,` `DSpace and Fedora, as well as expand its offerings to support the needs` `of global information communities. The first new technology to emerge` `will be a Web-based service named “DuraCloud.” DuraCloud is a hosted` `service that takes advantage of the cost efficiencies of cloud storage` `and cloud computing, while adding value to help ensure longevity and` `re-use of digital content. The DuraSpace organization is developing` `partnerships with commercial cloud providers who offer both storage and` `computing capabilities.`

`The DuraCloud service will be run by the DuraSpace organization. Its` `target audiences are organizations responsible for digital preservation` `and groups creating shared spaces for access and re-use of digital` `content. DuraCloud will be accessible directly as a Web service and` `also via plug-ins to digital repositories including Fedora and DSpace.` `The software developed to support the DuraCloud service will be made` `available as open source. An early release of DuraCloud will be` `available for selected pilot partners in Fall 2009.`

    Key Benefits of the DuraSpace Organization

`DuraSpace will support both DSpace and Fedora by working closely with` `both communities and, when possible, develop synergistic technologies,` `services, and programs that increase interoperability of the two` `platforms. DuraSpace will also support other open source software` `projects including the Mulgara semantic store, a scalable RDF database.`

`DuraSpace will pursue a mission that extends beyond these existing` `software platforms. This broader mission will include developing open` `technologies and services for the communities that have developed around` `these two platforms. The organization will also reach out to new` `communities who manage, preserve, and provide access to digital content.`

`DuraSpace will amplify the value of each individual organization,` `enabling it to sustain a larger community. With both organizations` `working in unison, there can be significant economies of scale,` `synergies in developing open technologies and services, and a strong` `position for long-term sustainability.`

    Learn More about DuraSpace

`DuraSpace will be represented at the Fourth Annual International` `Conference on Open Repositories (http://openrepositories.org/). Please` `check the schedule and visit the Fedora Commons and DSpace information` `tables at the conference to learn more.`

`More information is available at the DuraSpace website` `(http://duraspace.org/), including Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).`

    About Fedora Commons

`Fedora Commons (http://fedora-commons.org/) was established in 2007 as a` `not-for-profit organization and the home of the Fedora repository` `software and related open source projects. Fedora is a robust,` `integrated, repository system that enables storage, access and` `management for virtually any kind of digital content. The Flexible` `Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (Fedora) was` `originally designed by Sandy Payette and colleagues at Cornell` `University and was established as an open source project in 2001 by` `Cornell and the University of Virginia. Fedora has a large` `international user community and is installed worldwide at universities,` `libraries, research institutions, cultural organizations, and` `corporations. For more information contact Thornton Staples, Director` `of Community Outreach and Alliances at tstaples ＠ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, or` `Chris Wilper, Technical Lead at cwilper ＠ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Also see:` `http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/x/KINB`

    About DSpace Foundation

`The DSpace Foundation (http://dspace.org/) was formed in 2007 to support` `the growing global community of institutions using DSpace open source` `software to manage scholarly works in a digital repository. DSpace was` `jointly developed in 2002 by Hewlett-Packard and the MIT Libraries.` `Today, there are over more than 500 organizations worldwide using the` `software to manage, preserve, and share their scholarly output. To` `learn more about DSpace and its community of users visit www.dspace.org` `or contact Valorie Hollister, Community Outreach Manager at val ＠ xxxxxxxxxx.`
