Abstract
Islandora is a digital asset management system based on Drupal and Fedora and a host of additional applications, creating a rich open source software ecosystem. It provides a highly customizable and modular framework that can accommodate the diverse needs of the biodiversity community. This includes the integration of open source and proprietary applications that can provide a wide range of data transformation and stewardship services. This session will provide a hands-on demo of the Islandora software ecosystem, with an emphasis on the emerging support for various bio and biodiversity projects. A specific focus on Islandora development at The Smithsonian will be provided as a profile of diverse collections and functionality. This demo will show a variety of production and in-development systems and facilitate questions from the audience on specific features.
Note: this demo would be complimentary to the similarly titled Contributed Paper and Interest Group submissions.
