The REMAP Project at the University of Hull has been funded by JISC investigate how record management and digital preservation functions can be best supported in digital repositories. It utilizes the Fedora system.

Here’s an except from the Project Aims page (I have added the links in this excerpt):

The REMAP project has the following aims:

• To develop Records Management and Digital Preservation (RMDP) workflow(s) in order to understand how a digital repository can support these activities
• To embed digital repository interaction within working practices for RMDP purposes
• To further develop the use of a WSBPEL orchestration tool to work with external Web services, including the PRONOM Web services, to provide appropriate metadata and file information for RMDP
• To develop and test a notification layer that can interact with the orchestration tool and allow RSS
  syndication to individuals alerting them to RMDP tasks
• To develop and test an intermediate persistence layer to underpin the notification layer and interact
  with the WSBPEL orchestration tool to allow orchestrated workflows to take place over time
• To test and validate the use of the enhanced WSBPEL tool with institutional staff involved in RMDP activities
