The University of Toronto Scarborough Library's Digital Scholarship Unit is hosting a Lunch and Learn event on February 23rd from 1:00-3:00pm EST online and from 12:00-3:00pm EST in-person at the University of Toronto Scarborough Library. Anyone who is interested in attending the event is welcome to sign up here: https://goo.gl/forms/4vfqyCFnaDrGEGWr2.
The event is going to introduce participants and provide the latest updates on the next generation of Islandora called Islandora CLAW. Islandora CLAW uses the latest repository technologies and is a total re-architecting of the interaction between the various pieces, acting as middleware for not only Drupal 8.x and Fedora 4, but also Solr, Blazegraph, and any microservices added to the stack.
We will also get an update from the Islandora Metadata Interest group and hear about their work with MODS RDF, BIBFRAME, and more.
The DSU will also be giving a presentation about the Dragomans Renaissance Research Project, an experimental digital humanities project that curates over a decade of research for Professor Natalie Rothman. The platform is built the principles of a Linked Data Platform (https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/) and models the data using the Resource Description Framework (https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/rdf#w3c_all). This framework allows for robust querying and search and allows for the expression of complex relationships between different data points.
We are hoping that this event will spark discussion about the future of digital repositories and to ask questions and provide their thoughts about Islandora CLAW. We also hope through our discussion to find out how other people are engaging in the Islandora community and how they hope to participate in the future.
