Release notes

Download Preconfigured Cordra

Cordra allots unique, resolvable identifiers called handles to digital objects. A separate prefix for those handles is necessary if you wish to enable users of your service to learn the location of digital objects from just their identifiers.

You can receive that separate prefix from CNRI on a trial basis and at no cost. If you provide a few details below, we will email you a link to download Cordra software that is pre-configured with that prefix.
