Islandora Archipelago: Update on the Project & Community

Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

Fedora Interest Group Presentations

The Islandora project has become one of the most widely used “front-end” stacks for the Fedora repository system. The Islandora community is vibrant and growing, with an estimate of hundreds of implementations in countries all over the world. The system is used in academic libraries, museums, cultural organizations and private companies and the common interest is a flexible digital asset management system. Islandora’s architecture is an ideal addition to the flexibility of the Drupal and Fedora components that are key parts of the software stack, providing a robust approach to the digital stewardship of a wide range of assets, from traditional digital library systems to complex research data. This session will provide a comprehensive update on the project, the community and the latest software developments.
