MIRA 4.0 is a Hyrax 2 based Application for Managing Tufts Repository Content

MIRA is the application used to administer content in the Tufts digital repository ecosystem. Content is created, ingested, described, and managed over time using the MIRA interface. Other applications in the repository ecosystem like DL and TROVE depend on the metadata managed by MIRA to provide rich discovery and access interactions with Tufts digital content.

Many of the functions provided by MIRA (and Hyrax) are designed to be easy to understand directly via the user interface. Some functions like batch import and metadata export & import are rich and complex enough that they can benefit from additional documentation which can be found below.

1. Importing new objects
2. Export Existing Metadata
3. Update metadata for existing objects
