Repo. MMan Workflow for Fedora Aberystwyth October 2005 Robert Sherratt Richard Green Funded by the JISC Digital Repositories Programme
Agenda Robert Sherratt – Background – System architecture Richard Green – User requirements – Interface design
Repo. MMan • Workflow • Automated metadata • Surface in portal/C & LE (Sakai) • Informed by user requirements analysis
Service Oriented Architecture • Standards based • Flexible • Breaking down the monoliths – reuse and recombination • Web Services
What are we doing? • Generic workflow tool – flexible enough to provision research, learning and admin • Connect to Fedora functionality over WS • Future reuse of the tool • 3 tier architecture – Presentation - MVC - Orchestration
How are we doing it? • Addressing the SOA challenge of orchestration • Building on the success of a previous JISC project - Assis – coordinating 3 external learning services • Using Business Process Execution Language from OASIS – Based on earlier specs from Microsoft and IBM
BPEL • XML based workflow language • Enables the orchestration of Web Services • Synchronous and asynchronous processes • Fault handling and rollback • Loose coupling via aliases
