RODA is a complete digital repository that delivers functionality for all the main units of the OAIS reference model. RODA is capable of ingesting, managing and providing access to the various types of digital objects produced by large corporations or public bodies.

• Uses Fedora Commons for digital object storage
• Uses EAD as descriptive metadata schema

• Has a multi-step ingestion workflow
• Supports LDAP for authentication & authorization
