Synopsis

Archidora is a module that integrates the digital preservation functionality of Archivematica with Islandora. It was developed by Artefactual Systems and Discovery Garden, sponsored by the University of Saskatchewan Library.

User story

The goal of the Archidora module is to allow Islandora users to seamlessly preserve content that is ingested into Islandora using Archivematica's suite of digital preservation micro-services, creating preservation copies of that content for long-term storage. The Islandora user ingesting the content should not be required to mediate the transfer to Archivematica in any way. Upon completion of the transfer and ingest into Archivematica, a notification is sent back to Islandora indicating that the storage was successful.

Status

The Archidora module was developed in 2014 and has been deployed at the University of Saskatchewan Library since 2015. Testing is ongoing.

The code is currently held in Github by the Islandora Foundation, but is not being actively maintained.

Configure

In the Archivematica Storage Space:

  • Create a Space with access protocol FEDORA via SWORD2.
  • Create a Location within that Space (purpose = FEDORA deposits)
  • Enter the Fedora URL, username and password.
  • See Archivematica Storage Service documentation for more details.

In Islandora

  • Enable cron.
  • Configure Archidora at admin/islandora/archidora.
    • Archivematica Storage Service Base URL - normally http://archivematica-url:8000
    • Deposit Location - will be configured automatically once storage service URL is entered
    • Archivematica User - Archivematica dashboard user to be used for Islandora integration (not storage service)
    • Archivematica API Key - API key for the Archivematica dashboard user listed above
  • Archivematica may also be configured to call back to Islandora to delete the high-res "OBJ" datastreams - this is done in the Storage Service > Administration > Service callbacks
    • URI: http://islandora-base-url/islandora/object/<source_id>/archidora/{Islandora API}/delete
      • Where the API key is the "Islandora Archivematica integration API key" listed/generated on the Archidora admin screen
    • Event: post-store
    • Method: post
    • Expected status: 200
  • Note: the OBJ datastreams are not deleted automatically, but rather are listed at the collection level (or compound object level) on the Manage | Archivematica tab. They can be deleted individually or in bulk.
  • Collection-level configuration:
    • Check off "Don't Archive Children" to stop objects from being sent to Archivematica for a particular collection.

Scope

Archidora is still considered a beta feature. As such, further development is likely required to bring it to stability.

Other proposed improvements include the following:

  • Ingest Premis from Islandora into Archivematica
  • Ingest other metadata (e.g., DDI)
  • Ingest Bags
  • Format Policy Registry Integration
  • Asynchronous derivative generation
  • Integrate with checksum checker
  • Provide more information back to Islandora (e.g., aip url)
  • Support other workflows (e.g. upload from Archivematica to Islandora)
  • Support Fedora for AIP Storage
  • Improve reporting/logging in Archidora

No estimates have been prepared for the above.
