Developer Track: Dryad and Islandora (Features)

2 presentations:Leveling Up a Repository Submission ProcessRyan Scherle, Audrey HamelersDryad, United States of AmericaWhen researchers submit content to a repository, they often lack the knowledge and experience required to make their submissions as reusable (and FAIR) as desired. Repository staff can greatly improve the quality by guiding researchers through the submission process, but this support can be time-consuming and costly. If the repository submission system is designed to actively assist researchers throughout the submission process, the resulting submission will have a higher level of quality before it reaches human repository staff, reducing the amount of support required to make the submission ready for acceptance. Dryad (https://datadryad.org) has redesigned our submission process from the ground up to support researchers in submitting publishable files and describing the files with high-quality metadata. This presentation will describe the improvements we have made from our previous submission process, showcase the features that have the greatest impact on quality, and describe how we are building flexibility for future enhancements.Islandora Introduction: Core Features and BeyondVlastimil Krejčíř, Illyria Brejchová, Alžbeta Strakošová, Jan AdlerMasaryk University, Czech RepublicThe presentation will be focused on the Islandora system and will be divided into three parts. In the first part we will shortly introduce Islandora itself and what features are available out of the box. The next part will show how Islandora can be extended and customized using configuration, views and modules in Islandora’s frontend (Drupal) to satisfy very specific user needs. The last part will present some of our Islandora repository instances to highlight what customizations are possible in practice, such as displaying search results on a map or comparing images and metadata.
