Public Deposited

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.

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
