Lakesuperior is a Linked Data repository software. It is capable of storing andmanaging large volumes of files and their metadata regardless of theirformat, size, ethnicity, gender identity or expression.

Lakesuperior is an alternativeFedora Repository implementation. Fedora is a mature repositorysoftware system historically adopted by major cultural heritage institutionswhich extends theLinked Data Platformprotocol.

Lakesuperior aims at being a reliable and efficient Fedora 4 implementation.

Its main goals are:

• Reliability: Based on solid technologies with stability in mind.
• Efficiency: Small memory and CPU footprint, high scalability.
• Ease of management: Tools to perform migration, monitoring andmaintenance included.
• Simplicity of design: Straight-forward architecture, robustnessover features.

• Stores binary files and RDF metadata in one repository.
• Multi-modal access: REST/LDP, command line and native Python API.
• (almost) Drop-in replacement for Fedora4
• Very stable persistence layer based onLMDB and filesystem. FullyACID-compliant writes guarantee consistency of data.
• Term-based search and SPARQL Query API + UI
• No performance penalty for storing many resources under the samecontainer, or having one resource link to many URIs
• Extensible provenance metadata tracking
• Fits in a pocket: you can carry 50M triples in an 8Gb memory stick.

With Docker:
