Using Data Partitions and Stateless Servers to Scale Up Fedora Repositories

We describe the development and testing of the next-generation Trellis Linked Data Platform with Memento versioning support. In addition to highlighting several features that set this system apart from others, we elaborate on the extensive testing and compatibility work that was done in order to align this system with the Fedora 5.0 specification. We draw attention to the performance and scaling features provided by the Trellis Linked Data Platform in general and by the Cassandra database back end. We review the profound impact that such a system can have on demanding, next generation use cases, such as crowd sourcing, machine learning, and direct file access by desktop applications.
