  9. Fedora is a mature repository software system historically adopted by
    10. 

  10. major cultural heritage institutions. It exposes an
    11.

  14. Guiding Principles
    15. 

  15. ------------------
    16. 

  16. 

  17. LAKEsuperior aims at being an uncomplicated, efficient Fedora 4
    18. 

  18. implementation.
    19. 

  19. 

  20. Its main goals are:
    21. 

  21. 

  22. -  **Reliability:** Based on solid technologies with stability in mind.
    23. 

  23. -  **Efficiency:** Small memory and CPU footprint, high scalability.
    24. 

  24. -  **Ease of management:** Tools to perform monitoring and maintenance
    25. 

  25.    included.
    26. 

  26. -  **Simplicity of design:** Straight-forward architecture, robustness
    27. 

  27.    over features.
    28. 

  28. 

  29. Key features
    30. 

  30. ------------
    31. 

  31. 

  32. -  Drop-in replacement for Fedora4
    33. 

  33. -  Very stable persistence layer based on
    34. 

  34.    `LMDB <https://symas.com/lmdb/>`__ and filesystem. Fully
    35. 

  35.    ACID-compliant writes guarantee consistency of data.
    36. 

  36. -  Term-based search (*planned*) and SPARQL Query API + UI
    37. 

  37. -  No performance penalty for storing many resources under the same
    38. 

  38.    container
    39. 

  39. -  Extensible provenance metadata tracking
    40. 

  40. -  Multi-modal access: HTTP (REST), command line interface and native Python
    41. 

  41.    API.
    42. 

  42. -  Fits in a pocket: you can carry 50M triples in an 8Gb memory stick.
    43.
