Islandora

DiscoveryGarden builds its systems using the award-winning Islandora open-source framework, developed at the University of Prince Edward Island’s Robertson Library. Islandora combines Drupal and Fedora to create a robust digital asset management system. 

THE ISLANDORA EDGE 

Born at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), the award-winning Islandora approach to repository development and management is rooted in our integration of best-practice open-source software.  

The Fedora Repository System stores customizable objects, aids in long term data stewardship, and provides support for the semantic technologies associated with Web 3.0. Atop this proven solution, the popular content management system, Drupal, provides a customizable management and collaboration layer, with support for community development and information creation and sharing. Islandora integrates Fedora and Drupal into a software "ecosystem" that enables incredibly high levels of user collaboration, management, and long term storage of multiple data formats and metadata.  

Our software stack emerges from years of experience with information management and open source software, and we are hands-down more cost-effective and customizable than any of our competitors.

Because we’ve eliminated the exorbitant prices for software, many institutions are now realizing the cost-effectiveness of customizable software that fits specific needs. Our software and service advantage allows you easy access to store, transform, secure, and distribute your data anywhere, anyplace, anytime. 

YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS
