We support over 30 deployments in the United States and internationally, as well as the wider community of self or vendor managed implementations at libraries, archives, and museums.Created in 2018, Archipelago has achieved a steady, healthy maturity with 8 major releases since its first public version in 2019, paired with a stable development roadmap. Our platform consists of slim, innovative custom-coded Drupal modules, a curated list of trusted community built software, custom service containers and well documented zero-to-production deployment strategies.Archipelago features a flexible open-schema metadata approach, dynamic and on-the-fly schema transformations and deep IIIF API integrations supported by a vast and ever growing variety of Media and data viewers.Our 2025 focus was on improved discovery, better date processing math, UI vector integration for semantic search and ML-assisted cataloging and clustering, new batch ingest and background processing options, and also out-of-the box AI/ML bot harvest mitigation tools.Our presentation will focus on community favorite features, lessons learned and our future roadmap.DataverseGustavo Durand, Harvard University, United States of AmericaThe Dataverse Project is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyze research data. It facilitates making data available to others, and allows researchers to replicate others' work more easily. Researchers, journals, data authors, publishers, data distributors, and affiliated institutions all receive academic credit and web visibility.In this presentation, we will first introduce the project and discuss the core architectural principles defining the software, as well as the robust open source community. We will then review updates from last year, highlighting key features from each release and the current status of the re-architecture project separating the front end UI from the back end APIs.IslandoraAubrey Shanahan, Islandora Foundation, United States of AmericaAn overview of Islandora in the context of the latest generation of Open Source Digital Repository solutions, highlighting core functionality, integrations and collaborations with other Open Source projects/communities, and a showcase of live repositories.
