A presentation given at the Open Repositories conference in 2015 held in Indianapolis, described thus, Fedora, Hydra, Solr, and Blacklight. Called “Ichabod,” this tool has allowed us to ingest, normalize, and enrich metadata from diverse systems of record and make it consumable by our main discovery tool, which is powered by the Ex-Libris product Primo. We developed Ichabod using the Agile methodology and involving developers from three distinct NYU Libraries groups. The software will lay the groundwork for future innovation in the areas of metadata management and discovery for repository content. The relationships we established have already made it possible for a similar collaboration arrangement on two other projects, with more to come in the future., and From DSpace to Drupal, NYU has a variety of systems to ingest and display curated digital content. To make this content discoverable centrally, we developed a tool for metadata ingest, transformation, and discovery based on a popular open-source software stack

Yes! Another Blacklight mapping plugin! This one is super cool with features like performant Solr clustering, indexing multiple types of geometry (bounding boxes and points!) This is an audio recording of the session. and A lightning talk presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus

A poster given at the 2014 Open Repositories held in Helsinki. This poster will demonstrate the breadth of usage of the Hydra open repository solution within Europe, and highlight how the institutions using it have engaged with the Hydra community to establish their own repositories and fed into ongoing development. Readers will become aware of the use of Hydra within Europe, and how this relates to the Hydra project overall.

The Royal Library was very fast to adapt the emerging web technologies in the mid 1990’s. The web was used as an integrated part of digitization projects, resulting in a number of specially tailored web sites for various types of content, manuscripts, images, literary texts, journal articles, etc. Each project and type of material would typically result in its own data model, metadata format, workflow, and a database/repository that was tightly coupled with the web application. In later years, as the throughput on the digitization production lines has increased, more automated ways of dissemination have been developed. However this has not been able to fundamentally replace the tendency to building silos around different types of content. Being both national and university library, we can expect that in the future accessioned material will largely be born digital. In order to handle this situation, we have decided to start implementing an integrated digital library infrastructure, covering all aspects of digital collection building and management. The assumptions are that some metadata will be shared between all types of digital materials, and that the main steps in a digital object life-cycle will be common for all object types. In my presentation I am going to show how we are building a technical infrastructure in support of this, using building blocks such as Hydra, Fedora Commons, Solr, and Blacklight. I will also be touching on the organizational side of the project, focusing on the challenges to both IT people and collections staff in this process of change., and A presentation to the EOD Conference held at the National Library of Technology, Prague, Czech Republic, 17-18 October 2013.
