Introduction

Archidora is the Archivematica-Islandora Integration Module

It was developed in a partnership between Artefactual and Discovery Garden.

About Archivematica

Archivematica is a free and open-source digital preservation system that is designed to maintain standards-based, long-term access to collections of digital objects. It uses a micro-services design pattern to provide an integrated suite of software tools that allows users to process digital objects from ingest to access in compliance with the ISO-OAIS functional model. Users monitor and control the micro-services via a web-based dashboard. Archivematica uses METS, PREMIS (events, agents, rights and restrictions), Dublin Core, the Library of Congress BagIt specification and other best practice standards and practices to provide trustworthy, authentic, reliable, and interoperable archival packages (AIPs) for storage in your preferred repository.

Archivematica provides several decision points that give the user control over choices about format identification tools, printing the original order of the directories ingested, examining contents for private and personal information, extracting contents of packages and forensic images, transcribing content, and more. Users may also preconfigure most of these options for seamless ingest to archival storage and access. Archivematica offers many ingest workflows: metadata and submission documentation import, zipped and unzipped Bag ingest, digital forensic image processing, SIP arrangement, manual normalization, and dataset management.

Download

https://github.com/discoverygarden/archidora

You may also download the alpha 1.4.0 release from the folks at Artefactual. They have tested it against an Islandora instance set up in their office, using the islandora-labs/islandora_vagrant git repo.

Installation

Installation and testing is similar to any Drupal module. Please see Installing the Islandora Enhancement Modules for details.

Configuration

The Archivematica's Storage Service URL, user and user's API key will have to be entered into this module's admin screen, at admin/islandora/archidora, and a Deposit Location selected. An API token should also be generated to allow Archivematica to call back to Islandora.

In Fedora, the domain name of the server will have to be configured properly as well as a user created for Archivematica. The user created in Fedora will have to be entered in Archivematica's configuration to be able to authenticate with Fedora, so to be able to pull datastreams.

Archivematica may also be configured to call back to Islandora to delete the high-res "OBJ" datastreams.

As a side-effect of using Cron Queues, the submission of objects to Archivematica may not complete during any one invocation of Cron.
