Introduction to Islandora

This document provides an agenda and overview for an Oracle-Sun technology alliance meeting. It discusses Oracle and Sun's technical roadmap including porting Oracle database and middleware to Solaris x64, virtualization adoption across Oracle products, and benchmarking efforts. It also proposes a joint development project between Sun and Oracle to port Oracle Database 11g to Solaris x86-64.

This document discusses deploying Java EE applications to Platform as a Service (PaaS) environments. It covers key cloud computing concepts like deployment models and service models. It also explains how Java EE applications can leverage PaaS for simplified deployment, automatic service provisioning and management, scalable virtualized runtimes, and automatic scaling of services. The document demonstrates deploying a sample conference planning application to GlassFish PaaS and describes the underlying GlassFish PaaS runtime architecture.

The document introduces Representational State Transfer (REST) and how it has been implemented through HTTP. It defines REST as a set of six architectural constraints for networked systems, including separating concerns in a client-server model and making interactions stateless and uniform. HTTP implements the core REST operations of create, read, update and delete through its request methods. The document aims to explain REST as a design philosophy rather than a protocol.

HTML5 is a framework designed by the W3C to support innovation on the open web. It provides a collection of tools and standards, including a new identity system, to classify and communicate collaborative efforts to develop the web. The document then provides a table outlining many of the new HTML5 tags and their attributes, and groups them into categories like multimedia, offline storage, performance, semantics, CSS3, graphics, connectivity, and device access.

The document outlines a program agenda for a presentation on the GlassFish REST administration back end. The agenda includes discussing JAX-RS and the GlassFish implementation details, providing tips and tricks, discussing clients, and future plans, with a question and answer section. The implementation details section will cover GlassFish configuration beans, the command line interface, and how configuration beans are exposed as REST resources.

The document discusses Java EE 7 and its focus on supporting cloud platforms. Key points include defining new platform roles to accommodate the Platform as a Service model, adding metadata for service provisioning and configuration, and extending APIs to support features like multi-tenancy that are important for cloud environments. The goal is to make the Java EE platform itself a service that can be easily leveraged on public, private or hybrid clouds.

This document provides a summary of OSGi-enabled Java EE applications in GlassFish. It discusses how GlassFish uses OSGi to provide modularity and dynamic features. Key points include: - GlassFish runs on top of OSGi and uses it to modularize server components and enable dynamic installation/uninstallation of bundles. - Java EE applications can be packaged as OSGi bundles to take advantage of OSGi features while still using Java EE APIs. This allows for better modularity and dynamic deployment. - Specifications like OSGi/HTTP Service, OSGi/Web Application, and OSGi/JTA integrate OSGi services into Java EE. - Declarative services and injection simplify accessing

The document discusses consuming services from SAP NetWeaver Gateway to build mobile applications. It describes creating proxy objects to interface with Gateway services using various programming tools. Specifically, it outlines using the Gateway Developer Tool for Xcode to generate an Xcode project and build a basic iPhone application that displays a list of airports, then flights from a selected airport, and finally bookings for a selected flight. The tool allows configuring the service and entity sets to display and navigating between screens to show related data.

This document discusses Oracle WebLogic Server 12c and its ability to develop modern, lightweight Java EE 6 applications for both conventional and cloud deployment environments. It highlights how WebLogic Server 12c allows developers to extend their existing skills with the latest Java standards and integrate with open source frameworks. Developers can write less glue code and focus more on business logic by leveraging WebLogic Server's integrated services.

This document provides an overview and instructions for creating a read-only Gateway Service based on a Remote Function Module (RFM) or object in the Business Object Repository (BOR) in SAP NetWeaver Gateway. It covers Remote Function Calls and the BOR, Gateway data and consumption models, and the 7 steps to develop a Gateway Service: 1) Create a Gateway data model, 2) Map RFMs to operations, 3) Define operation interfaces, 4) Generate the data model, 5) Associate with a consumption model, 6) Associate with a system alias, and 7) Test the service.

The document discusses new features in JAX-RS 2.0 including a client API, filters and handlers, validation, and asynchronous processing. It provides examples of how these new features can be used and the motivations for including them such as allowing customization of implementations through extension points and leveraging existing standards like Bean Validation.

The document discusses the focus of Java EE 7 on supporting the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model. It outlines how Java EE 7 will define new platform roles to accommodate the PaaS model and add metadata for service provisioning, configuration, and sharing of applications and resources. It also discusses how Java EE 7 will extend existing APIs to support multi-tenancy and make the Java EE platform more elastic.

The document discusses Aras's strategy for visual collaboration. It outlines some key issues with current visualization solutions, such as a focus on 3D over other data types and a lack of social/collaborative capabilities. Aras's strategy is to provide an open approach supporting key use cases and data types. This will involve converting files to PDF, enabling enterprise viewing of PDFs, adding markup and collaboration features, and generating work packages from content. The long term vision is an Aras Visual Collaboration application providing these capabilities in an integrated manner using the PDF format.

This document describes how to generate an OData service from an ABAP Core Data Service (CDS) view to display total sales data by business partner. It involves creating a CDS view with the required data, adding an annotation to publish it as an OData service, registering the service, and then testing the OData service URL.

A digital object does not have any meaning to a human being unless the content is described with descriptive, structural and technical (or administrative) metadata. The costs of producing maintaining and transforming metadata have been prohibitive, and cataloguing traditionally often required substantial time spent in repetitive tasks of duplication, which increased the risk of introducing errors. Programmatic, XMLbased metadata and XML metadata tools have promised those maintaining digital databases and datastores of metadata better ways of creating, updating, managing, and transforming metadata. Islandora aims to simplify the process of creating, updating, and indexing XMLbased metadata for storage in a Fedora repository. This presentation provides an update on metadata related tools in Islandora, particularly in Islandora 7 (compatible with Drupal 7). In this most recent version, descriptive metadata forms based on any XML schema can be created and edited using the Form Builder; technical metadata can automatically extracted from objects on ingest using FITS; and administrative metadata emerging from ingest processes using microservices can be written to Fedora’s native “AUDIT” datastream. Islandora builds on the value and features of core Fedora, including the ability to version datastreams, and review versions in the interface.

This document provides an outline of a workshop introduction to Islandora, an open-source digital repository system. It covers logging into an Islandora sandbox, the architecture of Islandora including its use of Drupal for content management and Fedora Commons for digital object storage, adding content like images and books, and searching and indexing capabilities through Solr. Key aspects explained are Islandora's support of various content types and metadata standards, its extensibility through modules, and ability to preserve integrity and relationships of collected content.

VIVO is a semantic web application that enables discovery of research across disciplines in an institution. It allows granular editing of profiles while also ingesting data automatically from sources like HR systems. The presenter discussed VIVO's history and architecture, how it exposes linked open data through SPARQL queries and RDF views. Visualizations like co-authorship networks and implementations at various universities were also covered.

Open data is a crucial prerequisite for inventing and disseminating the innovative practices needed for agricultural development. To be usable, data must not just be open in principle—i.e., covered by licenses that allow re-use. Data must also be published in a technical form that allows it to be integrated into a wide range of applications. The webinar will be of interest to any institution seeking ways to publish and curate data in the Linked Data cloud. This webinar describes the technical solutions adopted by a widely diverse global network of agricultural research institutes for publishing research results. The talk focuses on AGRIS, a central and widely-used resource linking agricultural datasets for easy consumption, and AgriDrupal, an adaptation of the popular, open-source content management system Drupal optimized for producing and consuming linked datasets. Agricultural research institutes in developing countries share many of the constraints faced by libraries and other documentation centers, and not just in developing countries: institutions are expected to expose their information on the Web in a re-usable form with shoestring budgets and with technical staff working in local languages and continually lured by higher-paying work in the private sector. Technical solutions must be easy to adopt and freely available.

The document discusses a webinar presented by NISO and DCMI on Schema.org and Linked Data. The webinar provides an overview of Schema.org and Linked Data, examines the advantages and challenges of using RDF and Linked Data, looks at Schema.org in more detail, and discusses how Schema.org and Linked Data can be combined. The goals of the webinar are to illustrate the different design choices for identifying entities and describing structured data, integrating vocabularies, and incentives for publishing accurate data, as well as to help guide adoption of Schema.org and Linked Data approaches.

This document summarizes a webinar on using metadata for public sector administration. It discusses the Asset Description Metadata Schema (ADMS), a vocabulary for describing semantic interoperability assets to facilitate their discovery and reuse. ADMS was developed to provide a common way to describe assets so they can be more easily searched, identified, compared and obtained from a single access point. It reuses terms from standards like Dublin Core and defines properties and classifications to characterize assets consistently.

About the Webinar In May 2012, the Library of Congress announced a new modeling initiative focused on reflecting the MARC 21 library standard as a Linked Data model for the Web, with an initial model to be proposed by the consulting company Zepheira. The goal of the initiative is to translate the MARC 21 format to a Linked Data model while retaining the richness and benefits of existing data in the historical format. In this webinar, Eric Miller of Zepheira will report on progress towards this important goal, starting with an analysis of the translation problem and concluding with potential migration scenarios for a broad-based transition from MARC to a new bibliographic framework.

The document describes an event called Uberconf 2010 that will be held from June 14-17, 2010 at the Westin Westminster hotel. It also describes a book authored by Mike Nygard called "Release It!" and provides metadata about the document itself including attribution to Brian Sletten under a Creative Commons license.

This document summarizes a webinar on deploying Resource Description and Access (RDA) cataloging and expressing it as linked data. The webinar speaker, Alan Danskin from the British Library, discussed RDA as a cataloging standard that provides guidelines for describing resources to support discovery. He explained how RDA works with linked data by using entities, relationships, and attributes expressed as URIs. Challenges in applying RDA as linked data include the complexity of the FRBR model and publishing RDA vocabularies as linked open data. Application profiles help apply RDA by defining the metadata elements, policies, and guidelines for a specific domain or community.

As described in the April NISO/DCMI webinar by Dan Brickley, schema.org is a search-engine initiative aimed at helping webmasters use structured data markup to improve the discovery and display of search results. Drupal 7 makes it easy to markup HTML pages with schema.org terms, allowing users to quickly build websites with structured data that can be understood by Google and displayed as Rich Snippets. Improved search results are only part of the story, however. Data-bearing documents become machine-processable once you find them. The subject matter, important facts, calendar events, authorship, licensing, and whatever else you might like to share become there for the taking. Sales reports, RSS feeds, industry analysis, maps, diagrams and process artifacts can now connect back to other data sets to provide linkage to context and related content. The key to this is the adoption standards for both the data model (RDF) and the means of weaving it into documents (RDFa). Drupal 7 has become the leading content platform to adopt these standards. This webinar will describe how RDFa and Drupal 7 can improve how organizations publish information and data on the Web for both internal and external consumption. It will discuss what is required to use these features and how they impact publication workflow. The talk will focus on high-level and accessible demonstrations of what is possible. Technical people should learn how to proceed while non-technical people will learn what is possible.
