Islandora 8 offers support for most popular types of content including Collections, Images, Audio, Video, PDF and allows other types of data to be modelled as Binary.

Tighter Coupling with Drupal

Using the Drupal content management system, repository administrators are able to model content using core drupal entities and fields, have full control over how content is displayed, build submission and edit forms using drupal forms, bulk ingest from CSV files, categorize content using taxonomy terms, configure search indexing and more. Islandora 8 also allows you to utilize more modules from the Drupal community than ever before. 

Access controls are now handled by standard permissions_by_term and field_permissions modules and allow content to be easily excluded from searches and for sensitive fields to be hidden from display.  

Utilizing the core Drupal Views module, Contributors and designers will be empowered to filter, sort, display and manipulate lists of content in many new and exciting ways. Creating interactive maps, image galleries, dynamic collections listing, etc are all possible via the UI. Bulk operations are also made possible via this module allowing you to bulk edit content, trigger derivative regeneration, trigger reindexing and much more. 

Extendability

For the “IT Crowd”, Islandora 8 features an overhauled rest API that allows basic CRUD operations, JSONLD serialization and inserting of objects via standard PUT method. Converting and transforming images is now easier than ever before utilizing Drupal Image Styles. Islandora 8 also features better control of derivative generation via the UI and out of the box allows for extracting images from PDFs and videos, converting audio/video formats and more. The Drupal context module will allow in depth control of repository events via the UI including Fedora/Triplestore indexing, derivative control, switching themes/displays/viewers/forms and much more.

Multiple Language Support

Multi-lingual support is now part of core Islandora, allowing for simpler UI translations and translated content can be included in metadata and indexed into Fedora and the Triplestore with proper language tags.
