ContentDM Vs DSpace Vs Fedora

The document compares the features of CONTENTdm, DSpace, and Fedora digital repository systems. It finds that all three support arbitrary bitstreams and complex objects, while only Fedora supports versioning. CONTENTdm and DSpace support local metadata elements but they cannot be searched in DSpace. Preservation metadata is supported by DSpace and Fedora but not CONTENTdm. The document also examines user support features, infrastructure support, and prioritizes a list of new features needed.
