Start testing Islandora:
a) Build digital collectionsFirst we will need images and metadata.
a) Build digital collectionsWhat kind of images?
a) Build digital collectionsWhat do I do if I need to edit images?Tools: ● XnConvert● ImageMagick (Command Line)● ScanTailor● Photoshop ($)
a) Build digital collectionsWhat is metadata?
a) Build digital collectionsWhat do I do if I need to create metadata?1. Pick a metadata standard (Dublin Core, MODS…)2. Use a text editor (Sublime Text) to create .xml files based
on the standard you’ve chosen3. Make sure each object has a unique identifier and the file
is labelled with that same identifier4. Validate your XML
a) Build digital collectionsImage and metadata file names must match
a) Build digital collectionsCreate a .zip file of the image & metadata files
a) Build digital collections
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/How+to+Add+an+Item+to+a+Digital+Collection
a) Build digital collections
b) PIDs
● PID: Persistent Identifier of the Islandora Object.
● The PID is created upon ingest into Islandora.
● This number allows for the management of your digital
object with the repository.
